Default cps sensor issue

Ok, so in my search for zc parts I got my hands onto a cylinder position sensor, AWESOME right? Well, would be if the wire colors hadn't become so impossable to tell the diffrence betwen them. Tried cleaning them all kinds of ideas, no go. SO, my question is when I go and hook it up if the wires are reversed will it fry the sensor? I figure if it doesn't fry it then I'll go ahead and try it out, and if they are wrong it should just idle pretty rough since it wont supply gas properly and I'll just flip them. Let me know if you all think this is a bad way of hooking it up, thanks!

Anyone? I know cps is on the zc but comes from a tegra and some other honda makes from the same years so I'm kinda suprised no one has anything yet.. just dont wanna fry the sensor if it wont then I'll just flip the wires around till I figure it out..

it won't hurt the sensor - if wiring is backward, it should throw a Check Engine Light with a code 9

It's a Crankshaft Position Sensor.
