Measuring continuity/resistance -
Touch the ohmmeter leads to the switch terminals to check
continuity.
Caution
Verify the operating state of the switch before checking
continuity because readings vary accordingly.
Remark
The negative (- ) lead of the ohmmeter is connected
to the positive terminal of the internal ohmmeter
battery. The positive (+) lead to the negative terminal
of the battery. Continuity is checked according to the direction of the positive
(+) and negative (-) leads of the ohmmeter in the circuit
containing the diode.

Yes
NO
Verify the operating state of the sensor before checking
resistance because readings vary accordingly.
1. Short between the terminals with a jumper wire to discharge
the capacitor.
2. Set the ohmmeter range to xl Ok Q and connect it to the
capacitor terminals.
3. The capacitor is good if the needle of the ohmmeter swings
once and returns to it original position.

Finding short circuits
Shorts occur between the power(positive) and ground(negative) sides of a circuit.
Therefore, finding a shdit circuit requires determining how the circuit is routed.
