The voltage should increase as the magnet moves toward the sensor and decreases as it moves away.
Bmw hall effect sensor test.
You should see some movement in the meter.
If the voltage does not change there is a problem with the sensor or connections to the sensor.
To test a hall effect sensor you will need an accurate dc voltmeter set to the 20 volt scale.
The other one was always at 11 4 but i realize now that is because i connected it wrong.
With the sensor plugged in insert a t pin in the signal wire cavity of the sensor plug.
One sensor went from 12 34 volt to 11 71 volt when activating the sensor.
To help determining whether the 2 wire hall effect abs sensor is functioning correctly different deviations from the example signal are mentioned along with possible causes.
Testing a hall effect sensor there are a few ways to check a hall effect sensor that comes to mind.
Bmw z4 abs sensor lateral acceleration sensor diagnosis how to test and diagnose.
Turn the key switch on the voltage should be approximately 0 volts.
Finally figuring out a way to test the hall sensors without taking the motor apart.
The signal from the sensor is shown and can be downloaded.
With a lab scope a 2 wire hall effect abs sensor signal voltage is measured with the wheel turned by hand.
Or does it not tell me anything.
In this video and article testing and diagnosing the lateral acceleration sensor on bmw z4 models using the opus ivs autologic drivepro and an dvom is shown.
Finally figuring out a way to test the hall sensors without taking the motor apart.
So now to the question.
Bar the engine over or rotate the shaft the sensor is sensing.
My 1997 r1100rt was running fine until april 2020 approximately 4 miles then suddenly cut out this has happened a few times and noticed when it reached 5 bar it would die tried starting it but would misfire.
Slowly move the magnet perpendicular to the front of the sensor.
The first and most often gotten wrong test is to hold the sensor in your hand while it is hooked up to an ohm meter then brush a metal object such as a wrench over the sensor.
Left it for half an hour would start when cold ive replaced the hes the coil ht leads.
