First, you have to set your VOM to continuity. The symbol looks like an arrow with a line at the end of the arrow. After that, touch the two probes to two areas and if they have continuity you will get a reading on your meter and some even beep. Don't worry about the number, if it reads anything at all it still has continuity.

How do you fix an oxygen sensor on a 1997 Accord?

The only fix is to replace it. If you are mechanicly inclined, this is a doable deal. Before you replace the sensor you should check the wiring for resistance you can use a volt/ohms meter (vom) and test the continuity of the wiring to the sensor.

How do you check for a short in your car wiring?

You must check for continuity in the wiring. You will need a voltage/continuity tester. place one lead at one end of the wiring and place the other at the opposite end of the wiring. If the continuity tester does not indicate a constant flow of continuity it will NOT light up or "sound off."


How do you check a photo control switch for continuity?

To check a photo control switch for continuity, you will need a multimeter set to the continuity test function. Disconnect the switch from the circuit, then touch one probe to each terminal of the switch. If the multimeter beeps or shows continuity, it means the switch is functioning properly.

How can I check the continuity in a long wire?

To check continuity in a long wire, use a multimeter set to the continuity or resistance mode. Connect one probe to one end of the wire and the other probe to the opposite end. If the multimeter shows a low resistance reading or beeps, it indicates that there is continuity in the wire. If there is no reading or beep, there may be a break in the wire.


What are the function of different parts of VOM?

The VOM is in the classification of a multimeter. This means that the one meter can do several functions. VOM stands for Volt Ohm meter. In the voltage portion, the meter has the ability to measure a variety of voltages from fractional usually up to 1000 volts. This is both AC and DC voltages. In the ohms portion, the meter has the ability to find the resistance of components. On most good multi meter there is a continuity setting that will have a sound emitted if what you are testing has continuity through it. That setting is very useful in troubleshooting control panels to locate open and closed contacts in energized and de energised relays.
