Hello, I have a phaserunner v6 controller, cycleanalyst v3 display, and I have an external speedometer. It's a circular 3 pin connection that leads into the bafang motor casing, and then assumedly to the phaserunner through the motor plug. The hall sensor is lost, so the 3 pin connector is unplugged right now.
Here's whats happening: When the throttle is pressed, there's no response. Only when it's pressed more than halfway down, does the motor start turning the wheel slowly. Here's where the CA displays 99+ mph. And, when throttle is released, the motor keeps spinning the wheel faster and faster. I don't know if this is normal behavior from an unplugged speed sensor.
According to the phaserunner manual, it auto select the source of the wheel speed signal between "wheel speed sensor pin" (I assume this is the hall plug), or if no speed pulses are detected after the motor is spinning, then the "motor Hall signals" get fed to the CA speed signal input. So I would expect the bike to run fine with the external speed sensor unplugged.
Now, I don't know what to do to fix it - I could buy a new 3 pin hall sensor and try plugging that in, but right now I have a 2 pin reed sensor. I've tried hooking it up to the 3 pin hall plug, and same error occurs. I was told that to hook up the reed sensor, the ground goes to the hall plug ground, and the red goes to the "white speed wire coming out of the controller". However, there is no white wire coming from the phaserunner! Only one thick black cable (motor plug), and 2 other black cables (mains signals, PAS torque plug).
So I would really appreciate advice:

So I would really appreciate advice:
- How do I hook up the 2 pin reed sensor to my current setup (what is that "white wire", or is there a different way to do it)
- Would buying a new hall sensor solve the problem, or is there issues with other components? Hall Sensor: Amazon.com
- @amberwolf suggested that I GROUND the signal line on the hall plug, to stop the glitch and allow me to ride. The problem is, i checked with a multimeter, and 2 of the pins are +5v, and one of them seems to be ground. So, I don't know which pin is the signal line. The fact that there are 2 5v pins makes me think a new 3 pin hall sensor would not work.
