The correct test for the sensor is measuring voltage on the sensor wire while plugged in and the car running after warm-up. It should read 0.4 to 1.1 volts and fluctuate or 'hunt' in a cyclic manner, up and down. When you first start the car up cold it will read 0.8-0.9 volts and hold steady until it warms up then will start to flucuate.
Reading voltage or resistnce while unplugged won't tell you anything of significance.
