How to use a Multimeter - Ohms Function

A multimeter is a great little tool used for testing and checking electrical circuits in your vehicle or electrical devices. The most common use is to check the voltage of electrical circuits, but they can also be used to check the Amperage and Ohms.

In this video, we will show you how to measure Ohms using a multimeter.

To the point right away! That's what I like. You've got almost 6, 000 views & only 28 thumbs up? What the hell? Just for not screwing around for 10 minutes discussing Christmas at your mother in laws, I'd give (and gave) you a thumbs Up! Well done!

Thanks friend, I just diagnosed a bad coil / igniter on my fj80 after watching this tutorial.

Heya guys, I want to test the crankshaft sensor and purge valve solenoid on my Mazda 3 2006, but am unsure of what numbers my multimeter would tell me for each component as to whether they do or don't work correctly.
Many thanks 👍🏻

What means when ohms change. I try to measure a heldex pump and I got 12 after start going down slowly. Could be broken?

When using a meter with selection of different ohms range versus the auto setting on ohmns. On the 200 setting I get 1.45 ohms and on the auto I get nothing. I find that very confusing!

I get a 14ohm reading before even touching the probes to anything, Is it normal ?

how do i know if my metor is reading correctley

[PhunkBustA]

you know what else is dangerous, sitting around and doing nothing

The confusion of using ohms is where and why you select a particular ohms range on the meter. Need explanation of which selection is used when a devices ohmns is supposed to be within a particular range.

Bro are u serious ? You touched the cable with hands and multimeter ?
When u doing Ohm test u can’t hold the multimeter contact pin because it will give u reading
