No, the pickup is a different test and does a different chore. So you can't get a connection between the coil terminal and any of the eight perimeter terminals even when you turn the gear with your fingers? Then there is something wrong under the cap. If you remove the cap, you can see that all the rotor does is connect the middle coil terminal to one of the eight terminals around the perimeter. Either you are doing this test wrong, or there is something wrong with the cap and rotor connections.
