This is the output speed sensor, and they are having you check the voltage and resistance in the wiring and sensor.

I am attaching the testing below that will help with this but here are some guides that will show you how to do this testing.

Please find the testing below that we need to do. Please let me know what questions you have, and we can go from there.

Thanks
