M.A.F. testing on VG?

Does anyone know how I can test the MAF sensor on a 1992 VG?
My Chilton's manual isn't too clear on this, other than in Self-Diagnostic Mode.
Thanks!

1. Pull back the rubber insulator on the air flow meter connector.
2. Start engine and warm to operating temperature.
3. Using a volt meter, check voltage between terminal B and ground. There should be: 1.0 - 1.3 volts at idle. Less than 0.5 volt w/key on and engine stopped. If not, check the hot wire for damage or dust and replace the meter if faulty.
