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

Observation:

Test 1:
Measure the resistance between pin 1 (top) and pin 4 (bottom) at the gas valve.
Resistance should be approximately 7.4kOhms.
Test 2:
Measure the resistance between pin 1 (top) at the gas valve to a suitable earth point.
Resistance should be at least 1M Ohm.
Note:
Pins are numbered on the gas valve.
