The saga continues........

 

I have a '97 Subaru Legacy Outback. Anyone know how to check and see if the sensors are good or bad without a scan tool? Are there resistance readings?

 

Thanks!

There are a lot of sensors in your car. Some can be checked to see if they are putting out a specified voltage at some operating condition and some, a reference resistance. The car can be jacked up and the wheels rotated to see if the ABS sensors are providing an output for example.

 

Most of the checks for proper operation are spelled out in my '91 FSM. I would guess the same would hold true for later model years.

 

Checking the sensors generally goes hand in hand with obtaining a trouble code. This points to the problem area and it is checked by verifying the operation of the specific sensor in question.
