You have read the three possible ways of the crankshaft sensor test, such as:
42+ Bench Testing Camshaft Position Sensor Background. If it does replace the sensor. On 2 wire sensor engines, the distributor stator or camshaft position (cmp) sensor is a single hall effect magnetic switch.

If the voltmeter is equipped with needle probes, the wires at the sensor connector need to be back probed. Today we're testing the camshaft position sensor, along with its harness connector. So rather than just plug the sensor back in and clear the codes, i decided to take this opportunity to show you how to test the crank sensor circuit on this car.

Also, this turning on and off the signal happens the entire time the hall effect position sensor is being excited by whatever toothed disc it's in close proximity to. The camshaft position sensor (cps) in the 7.3l is a hall effect sensor. Don't use the starter motor to crank the engine. The problem correctness will become clear when considering the nature of the wave on the scope pattern, taken at the crankshaft position sensor outputs.
