Did you check ref voltage at sensor--12 volts,red wire-- key on. you can use digital multimeter to check.The signal wire--brown wire, the voltage should switch between 12 volts and zero as the crank is slowly turned. the pink wire says lo reference, which i call ground. Usually if the cam sensor is involved, I check the crank sensor also. Just my opinion.
