ELECTRICAL Multimeter Usage
Ohms, resistancemeasuring component resistance valuestesting coils, wiring, etcUsed to test resistance to the flow of electricity in circuit or componentA reading of OL means an open circuit or infinite resistanceSometimes the leads themselves will have some resistanceTouch the leads together and subtract this resistance from the component reading to achieve the actual readingTest Method 1Connect black lead to Com () meter terminal 2Connect red lead to (+) meter terminal3Turn selector dial to setting4Isolate test component from the rest of the electrical circuit by disconnecting wires from harness5Connect test leads to the circuit to be testedUsage Testing coil resistance Testing switch operation Testing wire continuity_
