Ohm function is great for finding opens in the circuits. A bad relay, faulty heating elements like in your stove are all easy with the OHM function.

It is very good for finding a poor connection in electrical connectors.

If you measure resistance across many electrical items and compare a known good one with a questionable part, you can usually find the problem.

I frequently use the feature when chasing electrical problems in the house or garage.

A typical quality DVM can handle 20A in series. That is enough to check most automotive circuits. Look at your fuses; most are 10A and 20A. The starter is more than 20A draw.

A good quality Fluke or other DVM is a must have if you work on cars.
