My vmm has a fault anyone found where they can be repaired i.m in UK suspect it's a relay needs contact cleaning the ohm part is making clicking noise but will not go from open too close when putting leads together my other vmm works fine

 

If your multimeter is having issues, I would say to junk it and get something new. They are not that expensive and even a basic VMM will be more than accurate enough for what the back yard mechanic does. Sure, you can buy something like a Fluke 289 and spend $400 USD on it, but a $20 amazon special is going to do what you need too. I have to use some $3000 multimeters at my work because we need something that is accurate to within 0.0025%, but for the backyard mechanic, having something that is say 0.05% accurate is more than good enough.

 

I.m using the vmm with ids Legacy and don't know how make a normal multi meter work with that software ?

 

A normal multimer is not meant to be used in conjunction with the IDS software. They are 2 separate tools. But, you can get a voltage ready when it asks "does this component read ........". What I am getting from your second post is that your IDS computer is having issues, not necesarily that you are having a multimeter issue.

 

Sorry I try be bit clearer what's happing is the ids and vmm are working fine on volts testing but when it does ohms check the vmm makes a clicking noise but stays open when I put leads together lucky I have a second vmm that works fine I was going sale one or have a working spare so just trying find if anyone could fix it did think maybe it had a little battery in it like multimeter but no

 

VMM = Vehicle Measuring Module

I used the VMM ONE TIME when I worked at the dealer 'back-in-the-day'.
I needed to check the prop shaft for vibration but other than that I never needed it.

Good to have but too expensive unless you have a shop and use it regularly.

 

Agree it is good bit kit but looking back maybe I been better off getting autologic thing is end up stripping half car down too test the wiring and then care is needed not damage contacts when pushing probs in

 

are you actually using SPA and a VMM? that's a first

get a real scope and use the factory wiring diagram
