Get your Mom to walk behind the truck when you're backing up. Make sure you're going at least 25mph. If the sensors sound off, stop immediately and Mom is saved. If they don't sound off, replace the sensors. (Obviously, Mom can't be replaced.)
take it to parts America have them read the codes that's begining signs of a vss vehicle speed sensor going , or tr sensor transmission range sensor
Trouble Code P1210 means:Throttle Postion TP Sensor out of self test range
P0500 is loss of vehicle speed signal. You need to test the speed sensor.
Code 12 displayed during self test, per Ford, takes you to test TP, for the throttle position sensor. It could be the failure of the throttle position sensor, idle speed or throttle stop adjustments, throttle shaft or linkage, and/or cruie control linkage.
how to test crank sensor
As I understand it, Bank 2 should indicate driver side, and sensor 1 should be the sensor closest to the front of the car, upstream of the catalytic converter. The safest way to find out for sure, is to find an honest Ford service technician and ask! Good luck
To test an abs sensor for a Lexus ES you will need to use a multimeter. The multimeter will determine if the abs sensor works or not.
You can either use a multimeter or a lab scope. When using a multimeter check the 12 volts from the battery at the connector then take the sensor out and check the resistance from the sensor's pins. Check the specs from the manufacturer. Although a correct spec does not necessarily means the sensor is good. This sensor normally fails when they are hot and not when they are cold. The advantage of using a lab scope is that you can test the sensor while the car is hot and running and by seeing the wave
The attached to the "Related Question" below has links to Autozone's Chiltons Repair Manual - specifically the O2 sensor sections. Not only covers installation, but there are instructions on testing.
Using a Digital Multimeter set to 2k,..the resistance should be 200 to 900 ohms ifnot replace,
Probably not as the emissions test (Smog test) is carried out by inserting a sensor into the exhaust pipe.
To test a crankshaft position sensor on a 1996 Jimmy Blazer, use a CKP sensor to test for voltage output. Compare the results to manufacturer specifications.
