Hmm... How to Test Crankshaft Sensor with Multimeter - Nevsemi Electronics.

Hi
You guys probably know more about electrics than I do, but why was the video link to testing bad? My understanding is that a hall effect sensors produce a signal from the rotating trigger wheel, so the guys test can't be to far off can it? Feel free to further my education if I've got this wrong.
I did test mine with the DMM and the engine running. 1st photo shows hookup and the video shows the results. I'm sure an oscilloscope would be better but like I said, I don't have one.
I also learnt that the plug/connector is called a Junior Power Time (JPT) connector. The local EFI aftermarket guy had plugs, terminals,sealing boot things, cable etc. It would seem that Land Rover/BMW used there own variation as the EFI guys range of plugs fitted my spare crank sensor (I took it with me) but the latch didn't connect to the sensor. I bought just the terminals and sealing things and reused my plug shell. I then ran the the new screened cable directly up and alongside the fuel cooler then onto the ECU. I want to redo that part of the loom as the other connections i.e fuel temp sensor etc, the wiring has lost its flexibility and the loom is getting a bit crusty.
Cheers, James NZ
The plugs I linked to lock on fine.
