The purpose of a brass feeler gauge is to eliminate the magnetic effect or pull from the pick up coil's magnet which may result in an incorrect gap. It WILL NOT SHORT OUT THE PICK IP COIL as it is not in contact with wires. It is used to get an accurate air gap between the reluctor and the pick up coil's pole segment.
