Video tutorial

This video describes how to perform a functionality test of an inductive sensor using a simple multimeter. Specifically, proceed as follows: locate a sensor and its power connector, for example, that of the gearbox.

Disconnect the connector and, with the help of a multimeter, measure the voltage and electrical resistance by placing the two electrodes on the central connector and the outer one of the connector itself. If you detect a voltage reading when the engine is off and a variation in voltage when the engine is started, the sensor is functioning correctly.
