4c. Disconnect the circuit breaker.
See Figure 2.30.
Unplug the circuit breaker

NOTE: By unplugging the fuse and circuit
breaker, the diode has been isolated. It is not
necessary to remove the heat shrink tubing from
the diode to test it.
NOTE: Diodes can be tested by using the Ohms
or "Ω" scale of a DVOM, but because of the way
diodes are constructed this is not an accurate
way to test them. When testing diode using the
"Ω" scale, it will read continuity in both direc-
tions. One direction will be high resistance and
the other direction will be a relatively low resis-
tance. These readings will not tell you if the
diode is leaking.
4d.
Set the DVOM to the diode test scale.
See Figure 2.31.

4e. Insert the positive probe of the DVOM into
the port of the charger jack that has the
green wire.
4f. Insert the negative probe into the connector
of the wire disconnected from the circuit
breaker. See Figure 2.32.
