A voltmeter can be used in place of a test lamp. While a test lamp shows whether the voltage is present or not, a voltmeter indicates how much voltage is
present.
SELF-POWERED TEST LAMP AND OHMMETER
Use a self-powered test lamp or an ohmmeter to check for continuity. A self-powered test lamp is made of a bulb, battery and two leads. That will light a
lamp when touched together. Prior to checking the points, first disconnect the battery ground cable or remove the fuse which feeds the circuit you are
working on.
CAUTION: Never use a self-powered test lamp on circuits that contain solid state modules. Damage to these modules may result.
An ohmmeter can be used in place of a self-powered test lamp. The ohmmeter shows how much resistance there is between two points along a circuit.
Low resistance means good continuity.
Circuits which include any solid-state devices should be tested only with a 10-megaohm or higher impedance digital multimeter. When measuring
resistance with a digital multimeter, the battery negative terminal should be disconnected. Otherwise, there may incorrect readings. Diodes and
solid-state devices in a be circuit can make an ohmmeter give a false reading. To find out if a component is affecting a measurement, take one reading,
reverse the leads and take a second reading. If different the solid-state device is affecting the measurement.
JUMPER WIRE WITH FUSE
Use a jumper wire with a fuse to by-pass an open circuit.
A jumper wire is made up of an in-line fuse holder connected to a set of test leads. This tool is available with small clamp connectors providing adaption
to most connectors without damage.
CAUTION: Do not use a fuse with a higher rating than the specified fuse that protects the circuit being tested. Do not use this tool in any situation to
substitute an input or output at the solid-state control module, such as ECM, TCM, etc.
SHORT FINDER
A short finder is available to locate a short to ground. The short finder creates a pulsing magnetic field in the shorted circuit and shows you the location
of the short through body trim or sheet metal.
