Check for continuity, I forget the values, but unplug the connectors and check resistance on the actual sensor by placing one lead in the center female opening, and the other lead on the part just outside the inner opening, but still within the connector. I think its something like 1.1, at least this is the case of my 201.


Yesterday, I installed a brand new OVP. I was disappointed that the ABS light popped on after starting it up and touching the brake pedal. I took a chance since the old OVP was possibly the original.
