Yep, I used the test earlier this year - found out I had 3 good sensors & one bad ground.
BTW, the guys at AEM are also very helpfull.
tip - if your having trouble with the testing, hot wire directly to your battery to make sure you don't have a simple power/grounding problem like mine. Note: mine worked fine for a year...

I don't know how old this test video is, but brakleen must have changed their chemical make up. I have a new can of CRC Brakleen in the red can and test will not work.
The only thing I can figure out is the new can does not contain ethyl benzene. After reading the label, that is the one thing that seems to be missing.
When you perform the test, whether the sensor is good or bad, it will not respond to the brakleen.
Gauge will stay on full lean.
About 2 miles from the trailer yesterday, my gauge went full lean. Figured after 600-700 miles of straight 100ll, the sensor was shot. Brought the sled home and decided to do the sensor test instead of just putting the new sensor on the sled.
Dumb move. Neither sensor would move off full lean after warming up. Both sensors would act exactly like the test video, except they would not move off full lean.
Left sensor unplugged and gauge would read 14.8 w/o sensor like it should.
Pulled windshield and gauge out. Tested from plug at gauge to plug at sensor. Tested other plug to power source and ground all well.
This morning I called AEM and they where very nice but never had this happen. Tech suggested that since gauge was over a year old and was on a sled to pull gauge apart, and look for signs of moisture. The gauge has 2 printed circuits, one behind the other, with a 6-8 pin set up connecting them(never counted).
Everything looked new, no signs of any moisture ever in gauge.
Put gauge back together, and decided to try again just for the heck of it. Still no response from brakleen test. I was ready to get get on line and order a new gauge, but figured I would try and the one thing I didn't do yet. Plug in the new sensor and start the sled. End of story, gauge works fine with engine running.

Try starting fluid instead of Brakeleen...
mbarryracing; I never gave it a thought. I've never taken the time to test them in the past. I just take the old one out and put in a new one.
I keep a new one in the garage all the time.
