To complete your continuity test, place one probe at each end of the circuit or component you want to test.

It doesn't matter which probe goes where; continuity is non-directional.

As before, if your circuit is continuous, the screen displays a value of zero (or near zero).

If the screen displays 1 or OL (open loop), there's no continuity—that is, there's no path for electric current to flow from one probe to the other.
