l Which lead goes to black and which to red does not matter at this point.
7. Turn the J-45741 Checker Box power switch ON.
l The green LED should light and remain ON steady.
8. Spin the road wheel and watch the red LED:
l Result OK: The red LED should flash ON and OFF, which tells you the sensor is
transmitting a signal.
l Result NG: If the red LED light remains ON or OFF steady:
l Reverse the Checker Box Red and Black leads and then re-test.
l If the result is still NG, further diagnosis will be needed to determine
if the sensor, sensor rotor, or interference between the sensor and
rotor, such as debris, is the cause.
NOTE: You may need to swap the red and black leads in step 8.
NOTE: The flash rate will vary with how fast you spin the wheel.
