It isn't a current, it's an AC voltage. It increases with amplitude and frequency with engine speed. At cranking speeds, you should have around 3V minimum, it will rise to 100+ with speed. With engine stopped, it will be zero.

From memory, I usually see 2.5v at cranking across the 2 terminals (ECU disconnected).
