How to Use AC-Coupled Hz on a Crank-
shaft Position Sensor
Use the ac-coupled Hz function on parts like crankshaft
position or vehicle speed sensors.
The following procedure demonstrates how to measure
ac-coupled frequency to test a crankshaft position sensor:
1. Insert the test leads in the jacks (Figure 12).
2. Turn the rotary switch to Hz
d
.
3. Press
R
for 2 seconds to toggle between the volts
ac and frequency functions.
"AC" and "Hz" show on the display when ac-coupled
frequency is selected.
4. Connect the test leads to the jumper wires.
5. KEY-ON-ENGINE-OFF. Disable the engine ignition.
Crank the motor while watching the display.
Note
When measuring frequency, the meter displays
frequency on the digital display and shows the
voltage of the input signal on the bar graph. This
allows you to see if a hazardous voltage is pres-
ent.
