  3. Check for continuity between the terminals in each switch position according to the table
    NOTE:
    • Make sure the correct test lead (+ or -) is placed on the terminal
    • When check for continuity across the diode, use the diode setting on the digital volt/ohm meter to check the diode bias
    • Be careful of the characteristic (Diode is one that conducts fully in one direction (forward) and not at all in the opposite direction (reverse))
