Testing for Continuity in a Switch
A continuity test verifies that you have a closed circuit.
The continuity function detects opens or shorts as fast as
1 millisecond. This can be a valuable trouble-shooting aid
when looking for intermittents associated with cables,
connections, switches, and relays.
1. Insert test leads in the input terminals shown in
Figure 19.
2. Turn rotary switch to N.
3. Press the E button.
4. Connect probes to stoplight switch.
5. Press brake pedal and listen for tone. If tone sounds,
stoplight switch is good.
XWCaution
To avoid possible damage to the meter or to
equipment under test, disconnect the power
to the circuit under test and discharge all
high voltage capacitors before testing
resistance, continuity or diodes.
