[s-cars] Faulty new cps?

[Tom Green]

Not so fast.  I think you can be almost 100% sure that engine speed  
sensor fault
exists simply because the engine is not running.  It will always  
appear if you read codes
without the engine running.

The 00515 01-10 signal shorted to plus  appears to be a connector or  
wiring problem.
I would start by looking at the connector and wiring for breaks in  
wiring or insulation
between the connector and ECU.
You omitted one piece of information - the MIL light (check engine  
light) .  Does it come
on when key is turned on then go out ?  Does it come on again when  
cranking engine ?
