VerifiedHello, make sure you have the ohm meter on the right scale, it should read about 1k ohms at 68 degrees, Also you should have an ac voltage coming out of the sensor when cranking, faster the rpm, the higher the voltage output. Depending on what model year, you can also check for fault codes through the odometer.
This link discusses pulling codes from the odometer.
