What reading will be displayed on a DVOM if the scale is exceeded?

It depends on the device and manufacturer, but most digital multimeters will display "OL", which indicates an OverLoaded input for the specified range. The term "overload" doesn't necessarily mean that a voltage or current is necessarily at a dangerous level or a level that might damage the device, but rather that the upper limit of its measuring capability has been reached.
In order to protect the equipment from damage, it's a good idea to set the meter to its highest range first when working with unknown voltages or currents and make a quick measurement at that level to make sure you don't get an overload (OL) on the display. This tells you whether or not you are potentially working beyond the manufacturer specified limits of the equipment (though the manufacturer limits are usually higher than the measurement limits).

What is a diode check setting used for on a dvom?
The Diode Check setting on a DVOM is a special ohms setting that presents enough voltage to the tested device to conduct, if it were a diode. Old style VOM's did not have this problem, because they usually used a battery greater than 0.7 volts to run the ohm's scale. Modern DVOM's, however, can use very small voltages to measure ohms, and that would not cause a diode to conduct. The Diode Check setting fixes this limitation.
A DVOM is set to the 400 V range If a 12 volt source is measured what will be the meter display?
12 volt
When testing circuits on modern vehicles the DVOM being used should have input impedance of at least?
10 mega ohms.
What equipment is needed for testing electrical current?
For measuring electrical Current the electrical equipment used is Amphere meter. This equipment tells the current flow in the equipment.
When testing for electrolysis in the cooling system the digital volt-ohmmeter (DVOM) reading should not exceed?
Go
How do you check antifreeze with a dvom meter?
Using a DVOM on low DC scale, negative lead to battery negative terminal, positive lead dipped in coolant at the radiator neck or coolant overflow jug. Most everyone agree to - A voltage reading of 0.2 volts or less is very good. A reading of 0.5 volts should be considered borderline and anything over 0.7 volts is unacceptable. If the coolant fails this test, the cooling system should be thoroughly flushed and cleaned. However, at our shop we suggest flushing at 0.4 to 0.5. We do not wait for 0.7.

What does mega mean on a dvom?
One million
How do you test a vrs sensor using a DVOM?
set your DVOM to A/C then back probe both wires- Shop Leader Oloughlin (Wyotech student)
What type of sensor would utilize 2 wires and how would it be tested with a dvom?
A VRS sensor and you can measure it with a DVOM on A/C Votlage by probing both wires and cranking the car.
What type of sensor would utilize 2 wires and how to test with a DVOM?
It is a VRS sensor. You set the DVOM to AC and back probe both wires. (Wyo Tech student)
Why is your 2000 Dodge Ram Van reading no bus?
The "bus" is the communication system between computers on the vehicle. "no bus" means there is a failure in the system. A scan tool, DVOM, and wiring diagrams are required to diagnosis and repair.The "bus" is the communication system between computers on the vehicle. "no bus" means there is a failure in the system.

What does DVOM mean?
It stands for digital volt-ohm meter
90mV on a DVOM meter equals how many volts?
.09
How do you test an ignition condenser?
using a dvom put your leads on the condenser on the 200 ohm scale and watch if the number rises. once you reach overload, switch the meter leads and it should climb back down. If this does not occur, you have a bad condenser.
