You use an ohm meter to check for continuty, low ohm reading, on the center pin between the two ends of the cable. You would then check for continuity between the shield, or outside connector. If both of those are good, you should also check between one of the center pins and the shield to ensure their isn't a short on the cable.
Firstly turn of the power before this test...Using a resistance or continuity tester you should get the following results:Short circuit: Very low resistance (nearly 0 ohms) or the bell will ring.Open circuit: Very high resistance (Somewhere in the range of Mega ohms) or the bell will not ring.The reason for this is because and open circuit has a gap in it (which has high resistance).The short circuit has wires that are crossed and so has a really low resistance.
Read less than 1 ohm
This Easy to build PIC based IC tester is very easy to make and highly reliable.This IC tester can successfully check the most of the IC's we are using in our normal project constructions such as TTL,74,74F,CMOS 4000 series.This could be very useful for the professionals as well as hobbyist.

One of the easiest ways to check for faulty devices and parts, is to use a multi-tester, sometimes called a multi-meter. Testing continuity by using the ohm setting will tell you if the connection through the device is complete or if it has opened and is no longer usable. For instance, if you place one of the test leads on one side of a fuse and the other lead on the other side of the fuse, you should show a short circuit or 0 ohms. If your meter shows infinite resistance, the fuse is bad and should be replaced.
To test a coax cable without using a multimeter, you can use a cable tester specifically designed for coax cables. These testers can check for continuity and signal strength without the need for a multimeter.
To test an Arctic Cat snowmobile ignition using a continuity tester, first ensure the ignition switch is off and disconnect the battery to prevent any electrical shorts. Set the continuity tester to the appropriate setting and connect one lead to the ignition coil’s primary terminal and the other lead to the ground. If the tester lights up or beeps, it indicates continuity, suggesting that the ignition circuit is functioning. If there is no continuity, you may need to inspect the wiring or replace the ignition coil.
Since the problem either lies in the light socket or in the power cable diagnosing the problem requires access to the connections. The most easiest method is using a continuity tester which has two electrodes attached to a digital meter.
To check the LT (Low Tension) cable, you can perform a continuity test using a multimeter to ensure there are no breaks in the cable. Additionally, an insulation resistance test can be conducted with a megohmmeter to verify that the insulation is intact and not allowing leakage current. It's also important to visually inspect the cable for any signs of damage or wear. Finally, ensure that connections are secure and free from corrosion.
hook the ground wire to a good ground and pierce the wire you want to check with the tester, if it lights up, it has power, if not it doesnt.
Circuit continuity can be tested by using an ohm meter.
First check and see if there's any voltage on the cable by using a voltmeter and then use an ohmeter to check for resistance to ground.
By using a Diamond tester on the Diamonds and checking the hallmarks, if in doubt, check it out and take to a jewellers

To test for continuity in an electrical circuit using a multimeter, set the multimeter to the continuity or resistance setting. Then, touch the probes to the two points in the circuit you want to test. If there is continuity, the multimeter will beep or show a low resistance reading. If there is no continuity, the multimeter will not beep or show a high resistance reading.
You can't. You have to have an OBD2 tester/code analyzer.
To test if a coax cable is live using a multimeter, set the multimeter to the continuity or resistance mode. Touch one probe to the center conductor of the coax cable and the other probe to the outer shield. If the multimeter shows a reading, the coax cable is live.
