the way to check the pulse gen is turn the engine over and measure the voltage it generates, it is in fact a small generator that outputs a sine wave. if you have a fluke 87 or an o-scope you can check it, if you have a multimeter that does not store max and min voltage values with at least a 1 millisecond capture rate you cannot check it. your regular meter will just read a near zero value since it is averaging.
book says min peak voltage is 0.7 volts.
i checked mine recently with a fluke 87, when cold it was +3.4 volts to -3.4., when hot it is was at +/- 2.5 volts, a good signal for the ICM.
the impedance may be one way to check it, but the book says nothing about that value.
