How to Use a Multimeter to Detect Vehicle Electrical Leakage?

[McJames]

Using a multimeter to detect vehicle electrical leakage involves the following steps: 1. Open the front hood, secure the hood lock, and close all doors; 2. Adjust the multimeter to the DC Ampere 20A setting; 3. Remove the red probe of the multimeter and insert it into the 20A socket; 4. Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery, connect the red probe to the negative battery cable, and the black probe to the negative battery post; 5. Press the remote lock button to lock the vehicle and observe the current displayed on the multimeter. A multimeter, also known as a volt-ohm-milliammeter (VOM), is an essential measuring instrument in power electronics and other fields, primarily used for measuring voltage, current, and resistance. Multimeters are categorized into analog and digital types based on their display method.
