Ford MLP Sensor Resistance Chart - Pins 46 & 30 Test Values (1995 Bronco)
Diagnostic figure to check MLP sensor resistance at pins 46 and 30 with a manual lever position resistance-value table.
This document (labeled Figure 4) is a diagnostic reference for testing an automatic transmission's Manual Lever Position (MLP) sensor via its electrical connector. The top portion shows a diagram of the connector viewed from the front, with two test leads pointing to Pin 46 and Pin 30 and the instruction 'Check the resistance of these pins.' Below the diagram is a table listing the expected resistance values between those two pins for each manual lever (gear selector) position: Park (P) should read 3769–4608 ohms, Reverse (R) 1303–1594 ohms, Neutral (N) 660–807 ohms, Drive (D) 361–442 ohms, position 2 should read 190–232 ohms, and position 1 should read 80–95 ohms. A technician can use this chart with an ohmmeter to verify that the sensor's resistance changes correctly as the shift lever is moved through each position, helping diagnose shifting or starting problems related to a faulty or misadjusted sensor. The document itself contains no year, make, model, or part number information; it was uploaded to a 1995 Ford Bronco gallery as part of a transmission service document set.

Frequently asked questions
- Which connector pins do I test for resistance?
- The diagram instructs you to check the resistance between Pin 46 and Pin 30 of the connector, viewed from the front.
- What resistance should the sensor read in Park?
- With the manual lever in P (Park), the resistance between pins 46 and 30 should be 3769 - 4608 ohms.
- What is the expected resistance in Neutral and Drive?
- Neutral (N) should read 660 - 807 ohms and Drive (D) should read 361 - 442 ohms.
- What are the resistance values for positions 2 and 1?
- Position 2 should read 190 - 232 ohms and position 1 should read 80 - 95 ohms.
- What should Reverse read?
- In R (Reverse), the resistance should be 1303 - 1594 ohms.
