IMPORTANT:

 If you are testing 

an application that has capacitors 
in the circuit, be sure to turn the 
power OFF on the test circuit and 
discharge all capacitors. Accurate 
measurement is not possible if 
external or residual voltage is 
present.

Touch the Black test probe to the 
negative (-) side of the diode. 
Touch the Red test probe to the positive 
(+) side of the diode. Reverse the probes: 
Black to the positive   
 
  (+) side and Red to the negative (-) side. 
 

Note: 

A “good” diode will read low in one 
`direction and high in the other direction 
when the probes are reversed (or vice 
versa). 
A defective diode will have the same 
reading in both directions or read 
between 1.0 to 3.0 V. in both directions
