Step Procedure
1 Check the voltage to determine if a Sensor is working.
2 a. Test the voltage of each Sensor using ground (GRD = Chassis) to the correct
pin on each connector. See the Sensor Location and Voltages table on the
next page).
b. Block a slot Sensor with a card.
c. Cover a reflective Sensor with a card.
3 a. Troubleshoot the Ribbon Sensor by using the RibbonTraq marks on the
Ribbon and Film to cover the Ribbon and Film Sensors. (Note: The numbers
indicate the location on J16, as shown in the Sensor Location and
Voltages table on the next page).
b. Open the upper module to find the Ribbon Sensor orientation. (Note: The
numbers indicate the location on J16, as shown in the Sensor Location and
