SPEED SENSOR
SPEED SENSOR TESTING
Test the speed sensor with an ohmmeter. Place the
ohmmeter leads on the terminals in the sensor con-
nector (Fig. 37).
Rotate the transmission output shaft and observe
the ohmmeter needle. The needle should deflect indi-
cating the switch is opening/closing as the rotormoves past the sensor (Fig. 37). Replace the sensor if
the ohmmeter does not display any kind of reading.
If a digital ohmmeter is being used, the sensor
should generate an ohmmeter readout each time the
switch opens and closes.
