Set Appliance State:

Isolate Mains Power to appliance as per TOPs P4
Set Multimeter to Resistance Set meter to measure resistance
Disconnect plug from gas valve

Measurement:

Test 1:
Measure the resistance across the pins of the gas valve.
Resistance depends on which gas valve is fitted:
Honeywell valve resistance should be approximately 115 Ohms.
SIT valve resistance should be approximately 70 Ohms.
Test 2:
Measure the resistance between one of the pins on the gas valve and a suitable earth.
Resistance should be greater than 1M Ohm (or O.L on meter).
Are the resistances measured as expected?
