With a DMM

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 333 other vehicles, including the 2003 Pontiac Vibe, 2003 Pontiac Sunfire, 2003 Pontiac Montana, 2003 Pontiac Grand Prix, and 2003 Pontiac Grand Am. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the ohms position.
  2. Disconnect the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit.
  3. Disconnect the load.
  4. Press the MIN MAX button on the DMM.
  5. Connect one lead of the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested.
  6. Connect the other lead of the DMM to the other end of the circuit.
  7. If the DMM displays low or no resistance and a tone is heard, the circuit has good continuity.
