To quickly check the condition of the components
mentioned in the following flowcharts, use an ohmmeter
to read resistance between the designated terminal and
ground. See Figure 5-16. With the ohmmeter on the
R x 1 scale, a reading of less than one ohm (continuity)
indicates that the component may be inoperative.
Isolate the inoperative component and repair or replace
it.
