text: A diode can be open circuited or short circuited when damaged.
text: A multimeter will display OL in both directions when the diode is opened.
text: For all the practical purposes, a diode is considered to be an open switch when reversing biased.
text: If the diode reads high resistance in both directions, this is a sign that the diode is open.
text: If you reading a very high voltage across the diode, such as the voltage you are supplying it, the diode is open and, thus, defective, and should be replaced.
text: Similar to the above method, it is also a simple method to check the diode whether it is good, short or open.
text: If the meter indicates a very high resistance or OL in both forward and reverse-biased conditions, then the diode is said to be opened.
text: If it reads OL, this means the diode is opened, blocking all currents.
