1. A quick diode test is useful if you are not sure if a diode is good. Digital meters usually have a diode test position, which allows the meter to provide bias voltage for the diode. In this configuration, a diode is placed between the leads. It will be forward biased in the one direction (silicon diode will read about 0.6 V) and an overload (OL) or an open reading in the other. Check the meter you are using and test a IN914 diode using this method or one describe by the manufacturer of your meter. if you do not have a diode test position on your meter, you can use an ohmmeter to test the forward and reverse resistance; however, this method is not as reliable as the first test as not all meters will read the same. Describe the meter test you performed:
