Testing Sensors

Section 2

Off-Car test: Slowly push sensor element back and forth
from end to end.

• Good Sensor - TEST light smoothly moves up or down as
sensor is operated. (The TEST light may go off if it moves
to the bottom of the column - this is O.K.) Range of TEST
light movement varies with sensor type and vehicle
mounting.

• Bad Sensor - TEST light position does not change during
test OR light movement is erratic, showing a sudden jump
or dip during smooth sensor operation.

10) Testing is complete.

Set RANGE switch to POWER OFF and remove all test
leads.
