Yes, but only at a basic level.
If the diode measures low resistance in one direction, high resistance in the other, you know that it is not short-circuited.
But...
1. If it's a voltage-regulator/reference (Zener) diode, you do not know whether it has the correct breakdown voltage,
2. If diode leakage is important, you have not tested for leakage and the ohmmeter test does not do this reliably,
3. Your ohmmeter test voltage is probably no more than 9 volts, so you have not tested for high-voltage breakdown, and
4. If it's a rectifier (especially a high-current diode) you have not tested its forward voltage at full load current.

How do you identify the em iter and collector by ohmmeter test?
To identify the emitter and collector in a bipolar junction transistor (BJT) using an ohmmeter test, first ensure the transistor is not connected to any circuit. Set the ohmmeter to the diode test mode, and connect the positive lead to the base and the negative lead to one of the outer terminals; if it shows a forward bias (low resistance), that terminal is the collector. Repeat the process with the negative lead on the base and the positive lead on the other outer terminal; if it shows a forward bias, that terminal is the emitter, confirming the configuration of the BJT.
How do you test diode?
To test a diode, you can do a variety of tests. The easiest may be measuring the resistance across the leads of a diode. One side should read very high resistance, over 1 megohm, while the other should read a moderate amount of resistance, maybe a few hundred thousand ohms. This is a sign that a diode works. If both sides read very high resistance, the diode is open. If both sides read very low resistance, then the diode is shorted.
How do you adjust the zero ohms control on the back off ohmmeter?
To adjust the zero ohms control on the back of an ohmmeter, first ensure the meter is powered off and the probes are not touching anything. Then, turn the zero ohms adjustment knob or screw until the display reads zero when the probes are shorted together. This calibration ensures accurate resistance measurements. Finally, test the adjustment by measuring a known resistor to confirm the reading is correct.
How test diac?
To test a diode, you can use a multimeter set to the diode testing mode. Connect the positive lead to the anode and the negative lead to the cathode; a good diode will typically show a forward voltage drop of around 0.6 to 0.7 volts for silicon diodes. Reverse the leads; a functioning diode should show no reading or display as open circuit. If the readings are significantly different, the diode may be faulty.
When testing a shortened diode with a DMM and the positive lead is connected to the anode what should the reading be?
Assuming the DMM is rated to test diodes (not all are), meaning that it presents more than forward drop voltage to the diode, a shorted diode will test nearly zero ohms, usually in both directions.
How can the cathode end of a zener diode be determinded using an ohmmeter?
Hard to do. If your Ohmmeter battery is just 1-1/2 volts, then you simply put the test leads on the diode one way, then the other way. The way that show a meter reading will have the black lead on the 'cathode', if you assume, as most do, that electrons are issued from the " - " or 'minus' side of the battery. BUT . . . if your Ohmmeter voltage is above the zener's trigger voltage, then you will get a reading both ways.

How will you test the condition for pn junction diode?
The simple solution if you are in the consumer repair business is to test it with an ohmmeter. Set the meter scale to x1. Connect the test leads to the diode and it will read either 10 ohms for a silicon diode or no reading. Reverse the lead connections and it must now read the opposite of the first two parameters. If you don't have about ten ohms in either connection then the diode is open. If you have 10 to 100 ohms in both connections then the diode is shorted or leaking. If you have no ten ohms in either connection then the diode is "open. Germanium diodes will read about 2-3 ohms on the flow side and ma show a little meter movement on the reverse connection.
Is it possible to test a diode with multimeter?
Yes it is possible to test a diode with a multimeter.

Ohmmeter.
What is the main rule to be followed when using an ohmmeter?
The main rule to be followed when using an ohmmeter is to have the circuit under test de energized from the power source.
Which electrical voltage value does a dmm output when in diode test mode?

How can the terminals of the diode be identified using the ohmmeter?
More commonly, the RED probe is on the banded (cathode) end of a diode, when the meter reads. You can also use a high ohms range (try around 200K) with a digital ohmmeter, not all have a specific "diode" setting. So test the meter first with a known marked diode, one that has a band on 1 end. You should get a reading with the probes around 1 way, and not the other. The probe on the banded end when the meter reads is the negative lead. Usually, that's the red one. So testing future diodes, if the meter reads, the red is the cathode of the diode. The polarity of the voltage appearing between the probes of digital and most analogue meters is opposite. The red lead of a digital meter is positive on the ohms ranges, while on most analogue meters the red lead is negative on the ohms ranges.

How do you test a light emitting diode?
You can test it by puting it in forward bias with a resistor. Use a dc voltage source of 5 volts and put it in series with 250 Ohms resistor. Or use 9volts with a 450 Ohms resistor. Basically you need 20mA of forward current usually. Smaller current will reduce brightness.
