    You have to have a meter that reads milivolts
    First disconnect wire from flame sensor
    Second put test leads between flame sensor (neg. to flame sensor pos. to wire)
    Third turn on furnace and take reading

    You should have 2-4 milivots if reading is low clean flame sensor with steelwhool or green scotch brite pad

I have a York Diamond 80 upflow furnace. I think my flame sensor is bad. I checked my wire to the sensor with my meter ( I just completed classes in HVAC) and got 90 on the volts. Just wanted to make sure I am replacing the right part. The flame kicks on and goes out about 5-10 seconds later.
