Continuity and Resistance Check

Meter Types:

1. Use a digital or analog multimeter with a minimum 10 k Ohm resistance.
2. Disconnect the battery or connector so there is no power between the check points.
3. Set the ohmmeter to the appropriate range.

Continuity And Resistance Check:

4. Connect the two leads of the meter to each of the check points.

Diode Check:

5. If the circuit or component has diodes, reverse the leads and check again.
- When contacting the negative lead to the diode's positive side and the positive lead to the negative side, there should be continuity.
- When connecting the two leads in reverse, there should not be continuity.
