Best Answer

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

With sensor removed the business end should be magnetic. While the sensor is disconnected and removed, probe the two pins for resistance with an ohm meter. The circuit should not be open.
