Should a Dc Motor Have Continuity?

Test the meter by touching the two leads together; the meter should read zero ohms or full continuity. DC (direct current) electric motors are used in many applications. Test the meter by touching the two leads together; the meter should read zero ohms or full continuity.

How do I know if my DC motor is bad?

Let the motor run for five seconds and then take another voltmeter reading. Look at the DC motor's specifications for volt ohms. Compare your reading to the voltmeter reading. If there is a difference of 10 or more ohms, there is a problem with the motor.

Should you get continuity through a motor?

If the reading is infinite, your motor should be fine. If you get a zero reading or any continuity reading, you have either a motor problem or a cable problem.
