Continuity Check
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2020 Subaru Impreza. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Disconnect the battery terminal or connector so there is no voltage between the check points.
Contact the leads of an ohmmeter between the check points, and check that there is continuity.
2 . When checking the diode continuity using an ohmmeter, allow the positive lead to contact the diode positive side and the negative lead to the negative side. At this time, there must be continuity. Also, when contacting the leads in reverse, there should be no continuity.
NOTE: Some testers have reverse polarity, therefore, refer to the instruction manual of the tester. - When checking switch continuity using an ohmmeter, perform the check while the switch operates. For example, when a switch position is at 3, continuity exists among terminals 1, 3 and 6, as shown below.
