• ‒ → Check wiring for open circuit between test box and 3-pin connector using current flow diagram:
      Contact 1 and test box socket 98
      Contact 2 and test box socket 86
      Contact 3 and test box socket 108
      Wire resistance: max. 1.5 ω
• ‒ Additionally check wires for short to one another.
      Specification: ∞ω

If no wiring fault is detected and voltage was present between contacts 1+3:

• ‒ Replace Hall sender (G40)
  , item 15.
