*Note: If the multimeter does not have a diode test feature, this test can not be performed. This is not a problem if
powered tests are done. Powered tests must be performed to test relays (see table below).
*** Same as battery voltage
Note: A 12 volt battery is needed for this test. USE CAUTION WHEN MEASURING RESISTANCE WITH A
POWERED CIRCUIT. CONTACTING A VOLTAGE SOURCE WITH A METER IN OHMS POSITION CAN
SERIOUSLY DAMAGE THE METER.
Testing - No Power To Circuit (With Module Out of Circuit)
Meter Scale Meter Probe Negative Meter Probe Positive Meter Reading
