Speed sensor voltage checks. All checks should be made with the sensor connected to the gauge and the key on. Checks should be done with
a voltmeter and not a test light. Checks for the 3-wire sensor should be made between each individual wire and ground.
3-wire sensor:
Red wire should have 9-11 volts dc, slightly less than battery voltage, (som5V if supplied by factory harness)
Black wire should show ground, 0 volts dc at all times.
White wire should vary between 0 and 5 volts dc as the gear teeth, or a steel object passes by the sensor. Aluminum and
Stainless Steel will not work with a Hall-effect sensor. This can be checked with the sensor mounted and spinning the rear tire
slowly, or by removing the sensor and moving a steel object pass the face of the sensor.
2-wire sensor:
Measure the voltage between the two sensor wires. With the wheel spinning the voltage should be about 1-10 volts ac (make
sure the meter is set to AC volts and not DC volts for this check).
