Practice question

Which of the following is the correct multimeter setting and method to test a motorcycle stator coil for a short-circuit to ground (earth)?

  1. Set the multimeter to Resistance (Ohms) or Continuity, connect one probe to the stator yellow/white output wire, and the other probe to a clean bare metal spot on the engine block.
  2. Set the multimeter to DC Amperage, connect it in series between the stator and the battery positive terminal, and run the engine.
  3. Set the multimeter to AC Voltage, connect both probes to the spark plug cap, and crank the engine.
  4. Set the multimeter to Diode test, connect one probe to the battery negative and the other to the regulator frame.

Answer: A — Set the multimeter to Resistance (Ohms) or Continuity, connect one probe to the stator yellow/white output wire, and the other probe to a clean bare metal spot on the engine block.
