Abstract

A signal control system is configured to perform diagnostic testing on an electrical system. The signal control system includes a first control switch electrically coupled to a second control switch. A first multimeter lead terminal and a second multimeter lead terminal are electrically coupled to the first control switch and the second control switch. A battery is electrically coupled to the first control switch and the second control switch. A control system is electrically coupled to the first control switch, the second control switch, the first multimeter lead terminal, the second multimeter lead terminal, and the battery and configured to perform the diagnostic testing on the electrical system.
