You need a scope or a graphing multi-meter to test these sensors. You need to be able to see the wave form pattern to determine if they are working properly. 2 wire sensors are AC signal generators and you should not be testing these unless you know what you are doing as they generate AC current. You can ohm test 2 wire sensors when they are disconnected. Not a reliable way make a positive diagnosis unless they are out of range. In range sensors can still be bad. 3 wire sensors are hall effect type sensors and produce a square wave form. They are not dangerous to test you just need the right equipment and knowledge.
