Here's the main diagnostic test for that L5 sensor (see FSM section 15-1250 for complete description). Engine cold. Ignition off. Unplug the L5 sensor at the EZL. Multimeter set to Ohms. Positive probe on inside of pin. Negative probe on outer part of pin. Spec is 680 -1200 Ohms. If no, rplc L5 sensor.
