Theory Of Operation
The purpose of the following procedure is to demonstrate how to check for a short circuit between multiple circuits.
NOTE:
The circuit shown in illustration is an example, and is intended for demonstrational purpose only.
The following are circuit tests covered in this procedure:
- Testing For A Short Between Multiple Circuits
NOTE:
Perform the following test using a known good multimeter.
Below is a list of possible causes that could be related to a Multiple Short condition.
| Possible Causes |
|---|
| SHORTED CIRCUIT (CHAFED, PIERCED OR PINCHED WIRES) |
| SHORTED IN-LINE CONNECTOR (BENT, PUSHED OUT OR CORRODED TERMINALS) |
