Need help knowing which colored wires connect to the new connector.

Wires accidentally got ripped out during removal of crankshaft position sensor. I bought the replacement and all the wires are white.

It is a three wire setup. Purple, green and yellow.

Thanks

I see where the attachments contradict each other... one says that pin one is purple and pin 2 is yellow. The other says that pin 1 is light green and pin 2 is purple.

Thank you for the answer, but please clarify this for me.
