If you are using a multimeter as an ohmmeter and you get a reading of maximum resistance what does that tell you about the circuit you are measuring?

Did you mean "maximum RESISTANCE" or "maximum VALUE"? If the former, then, you have a ZERO reading, meaning there is high resistance, and no electrical connectivity. If the latter, you have a ONE (or 100%) reading, meaning there is NO resistance, or absolute electrical connectivity. As an analogy, if you turn on a plugged-in, working, lamp, then it has NO resistance, such that power flows easily through the cord; if it didn't turn on, then there IS resistance, such that no power flows, possibly due to broken wire, bad switch, burned-out bulb, or blown fuse.
