OK good. I was worried that there was a short on one of the IGBTs.

Are all 3 current sensors oriented just like current sensor #3? (so that the 4 prong plug is on the side closest to the IGBT) So that the arrow on the top of the current sensor points away from the IGBT?

One scary possibility is the current sensor could be damaged if the pins were swapped before. I've destroyed one doing that once, but I've also done it before and then the sensor still worked.
