While the PP3 is in Power Probe Mode, and by using the Power Probe tip in connection with chassis ground
or the auxiliary ground lead, continuity can be tested on wires and components attached or disconnected
from the vehicle's electrical system.
The PP3 indicates continuity using 2 resistance levels. When the Power Probe tip has a resistance to ground
less than 20K Ohms but greater than 2K Ohms the LCD will indicate "0.0" volts but no
when the resistance to ground less than 2K Ohms the LCD will indicate "0.0" volts and also the
LED. The higher resistance continuity function is useful for checking Spark Plug Wires, (disconnected from
ignition) Solenoids and magnetic pickup coils, and the lower resistance continuity for testing relay coils and
wiring. However the best way to prove continuity of connections to either Ground or Battery is to power
up the connection using the Power Switch. If the Circuit Breaker trips you know that you have a good solid
low resistance connection.

"-". La función de pruebas de continuidad de alta resistencia es útil cuando probemos el cableado
(alambrado) de las bujías (desconectados del sistema de encendido), solenoides, embobinados de cap-
tadores magnéticos y la función de prueba de baja resistencia para probar embobinados de relevadores
y cables (alambres). Sin embargo la mejor forma de probar la continuidad entre conexiones y tierra
(masa) o batería, es energizando la conexión, utilizando el interruptor energizante. Si el cortacircuito
(disyuntor) se abre (tira) entonces sabrá que tiene una buena (sólida) conexión de baja resistencia.
