I believe it is a Hall effect sensor so the best (and only way I know of) is to use an oscilloscope and look at the signal. It should be a square wave. The 3 leads are +5 volts, signal, and ground. You should get a pulse for 4 times for each rotation of the crank as there are 4 spikes on the edge of the pulley. Make sure the distance between the sensor and the spikes on the pulley are approximately .020 inches.
