Jandy salt water sensor bad?

I have a Jandy Aquapure about 7 years old. I am getting a %chlorine and then flashing "LO". The sensor is just flashing Green with a No Flow reading. I have cleaned the cell, taken off the sensor to make sure nothing covering, cleaned all baskets and so on. Still "no flow" and flashing green. Had a very unusual salinity reading of 4100 and have been flushing and adding water, down to 3700. Is there a way to tell if the sensor is bad?

Here is a test you can do to diagnose the trisensor.

Disconnect the flow salinity temp sensor from the board.

Press and hold the test buttons marked salinity and R-temp. While still pressing the test buttons press the ‘Salinity’ key (‘C’) on the front cover of the unit. The LCD should read 2.8 gpl*.

While still holding the two front board test buttons press the ‘Pool Temperature’ key (‘D’). It should read 75° F or 24° C.

Next, press and hold the board ‘H-Temp’ test button, and at the same time press the ‘Salinity’ key (‘C’) together with the ‘Chlorine Production Rate’ arrow down key (‘A’) on the front cover of the unit. The LCD should read 91° F or 33° C .

If the readings are correct then the board is O.K. and the problem is with the flow sensor. On the other hand if the readings are different then it indicates that there is a problem with the board.
 
‘LO’ – indicates that the water temperature reading is less than 51 deg. F

This indicates that the trisensor is probably bad.

If the cell is 7 years old, I would replace the cell, trisensor and cord.
