Just used an inspection camera and checked all the way around. Perfect.

Just need to find a CPS local. Don't know how to bench test it.

If you have a Ohm meter, pull the connector and put probes into pin 1 and 2 you should read around 800-1000 ohms, then repeat the same test for pin1 and 3 and it should show infinite (meaning open/as if not touching). If either of these is not the case I would replace the CPS.
Hope that helps
