No, the magnetic pickup on the front of the engine is PURELY a diagnostic device to detect engine RPM with the MB test set. The lead attaches to the diagnostic socket, NOT the EZL module.

It has NOTHING to do with engine operation.

The CPS that is used by the EZL is on the LH side rear of the block and it detects the three segments on the flywheel or flexplate - one for each TDC.
