Crankshaft Position Sensor Test

I have a 1987 Old Ciera 3.8L. Is there a way to test the crankshaft position sensor with a DVM?

Thanks Bill

You can wing it:

Set the meter to AC voltage, and crank the motor. A good crank sensor will generate about .25 to 2.0 volts, but don't condemn the sensor if you get no reading at all. Buy a Snap On Vantage or an OTC graphing multi meter, the OTC is better.
