    The Haynes manual is unbelievably vague and inaccurate in most cases. Resistance measurements are only effective for the temp sensor. An oscilloscope is needed for an in-depth test. But a basic test of the actual metering device can be preformed here...

    Ok, for the time were going to assume, i hate assuming, that the ( - ) is not showing up. I base this on the fact that the pin 2 to 5 reading would be incorrect if it showed anything below the reading given when the two test leads were directly touched together.
