I went and probed again this am.

I must have probed the wrong pins or something yesterday.



The VDO sensor spec is 1900 +/- 10%, so 1.774kOhm is good.

That would explain why the tach works.

So now I’m maybe even more confused.

Temperature sensor works, speed sensor works.

I can’t clear the L3/speed sensor code… yet it’s coming in and feeding through to the tach.

Are there any concerns with my starting and running the car with the N39 connector/EDS unplugged? I don’t have this three way special tool that the FSM requests, but I assume that I can at least verify that we get feed power on the N39 harness, and then probe the sensor feeds themselves for voltage once reconnected…

Thoughts?
