What display might appear when there is no continuity found when testing with a DMM?

When testing with a Digital Multimeter (DMM) for continuity, observing "OL" on the display indicates that there is an open circuit, meaning there is no continuity between the probes. "OL" stands for "Over Limit," signifying that the resistance in the circuit is too high to register within the meter's measurement range, effectively indicating that the two points being tested are not electrically connected.

Continuity testing typically checks whether a current can flow between two points, and "OL" signifies that it cannot, which is essential for diagnosing wiring or circuit issues. In contrast, a reading of "0" would indicate perfect continuity, while "VΩ" is generally the mode selection on the DMM for voltage or resistance measurements but does not reflect continuity condition. The term "Null" does not apply to continuity testing with a DMM.
