I changed the sensor like there times with there different ones

Does anyone have a pinout for the p28?

ive checked power at the speed sensor itself and i got full 12v i tryed ohming the spped sensor wire from that plug straight to the ecu but i didnt get nothing but i did realize that that signal wire runs across the engine bay to the driverside under the dash to the cluster im assuming, then from there does it go to the ecu??
