Contrary to a previous post, there is no power or ground to the flywheel sensors. They actually generate a pulse from either the teeth on the starter ring gear or from the tdc stud on the flywheel (at least on the 8 valve cars). The third pin is for a shield around the two signal wires.

Our bench test for sensors is to use the oscilloscope and a steel rod to generate the signal. No voltage or ground required.
