6.2 SENSOR TESTING

Check the voltage to determine if a sensor is working.

Test the voltage of each sensor using ground (GRD = Chassis) to the correct pin on each connector. See Table 6-1. Block a slot sensor with a card. Cover a reflective sensor with a card.

To troubleshoot the ribbon sensor, use the RibbonTraq marks on the ribbon and Film to cover the ribbon and Film sensors. The numbers indicate the location on J65. See Table 6-1. Open the upper module to find the Ribbon Sensor orientation; the numbers indicate the location on J65.
