9. Using the analog ohmmeter, connect the
negative meter probe to the terminal on the
diode module. See Figure F.23. Connect
the positive meter probe to the heat sink.
The resistance should be very high (over
50,000 ohms).
10. Using the analog ohmmeter, connect the
positive meter probe to the terminal on the
diode module. Connect the negative meter
probe to the heat sink.
should be low (approximately 300 ohms).
Also check diode D3 (right side) or D4 (left
side) for an open or shorted condition. See
the Wiring Diagram.
