I think the connector for the sensor is under your seat. Follow the wire from the engine to the connector. Turn over the motor slowly and you should voltage interruption at certain points during rotation. If not the sensor is bad. I think it is usually about 5 volts. The manual shows checking between the black wire and one labeled BX. I looked specifically but hopefully this helps some.
