  • Page 424: Testing Continuity/Resistance

    ELECTRICAL TESTING CONTINUITY/RESISTANCE Testing using the Ohmmeter function of your DMM is one of the first things you will do when troubleshooting an electrical issue. It is especially convenient when the wiring diagram provides a resistance spec for the component in the circuit you are diagnosing. It can quickly give you a good idea if you simply need to replace a part, or if there might be another circuit issue.
  • Page 425: Testing For A Short To Ground

    ELECTRICAL TESTING FOR A SHORT TO GROUND Shorts to ground happen when the current flowing in a given circuit bypasses the load. The current flowing from B+ finds an easier way to return to ground (B-), so much more of it can flow than the circuit is designed for. This causes the circuit’s protection device (either a fuse or circuit breaker) to open, protecting the circuit from damage.
