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.
