 To test the pick-up coil assembly and its wires, use an ohm meter and measure the resistance between the two wires at the terminal (unplug the pickup from the module). The resistance should be somewhere around 600Ω to 1000Ω. There's a fairly wide tolerance, but it should '''not''' be infinite and it should not vary as the wires are flexed and moved around to simulate it in use.

 *Remove and invert the cap.
 *Measure between the TACH and BATT terminals, using a DVOM, set to OHMS scale, RX1 and calibrated to 000Ω.
