Speed Sensor (Except Electronic Speedometer)

  1. Disconnect speed sensor connector and connect an ohmmeter between wire connector terminals at speed sensor end. A reading of 200-300 ohms should be obtained.
  2. A reading of zero ohms indicates a shorted coil, and a high reading indicates an open coil. If reading is within proper range and speedometer operates properly, sensor is probably good. Substitute a new sensor if necessary to check operation.
