A connection of zero resistance has the same reading as any other connection resistance of zero!
The Hall Sensor test is to jumper two wires from the ICU together, at which point the resistance between the two wires is zero. The ICU has effectively seen a "dead short of zero resistance" between those two wires.
I'm not 100% sure but it appears the Hall sensor acts similar to a magneto in reverse. Instead of using a magnet passing through a coil of wire to generate a voltage, the metal vane passing through a magnetic field creates a voltage change between two wires that the ICU uses to fire the spark.
IMOP, since the spark can be fired with a change from infinite to zero resistance without damage, a voltage change from 12 volts to any other voltage will do no damage.
My biggest concern at this point would be the mechanincs ability to get the correct wires from one connector to match the wires of the new sensor arrangement with a connection method that prevents future deterioration of the connection in the under hood environment that close to the block.
