You might be able to use a digital multimeter, with the crank sensor plugged in, use a straight pin and back probe the signal wire, turn the key on, you don't have to crank. Have a helper turn the crank by hand, watch the signal, it should go from reference voltage to zero, back to ref, the signal would go back and forth as the crank is turned.
