How To Test A Propane Thermocouple. Every gas appliance with a standing pilot that cycles on and off needs a thermocouple. Secondly, turn on the meter and set it to ohms. This device generates a small electric signal to keep the gas valve open when the pilot is on. There are a number of things that can cause problems with your fire pit, but the thermocouple should be the first thing to look at if your flame won’t stay lit. Chet from omega teaches you how to easily test your thermocouple with a multimeter. If the pilot lights but won't stay lit, the thermocouple is probably bad. How to test and troubleshoot a thermocouple. Just like a thermocouple, your thermopile will generate some voltage when heated up by the pilot flame. If the thermocouple has continuity, a low ohms reading should be visible on the multimeter. Touch the two leads together from the meter, and you should get a reading close to zero. With the leads apart, you will read infinity. That is simply a test to check the meter for continuity. Connect the multimeter leads with proper polarity. This test checks for the thermocouple’s integrity by ensuring a continuous electrical path from one end to the other. You can test it with a multimeter.

Select the ohms or resistance option on the multimeter. Touch the two leads together from the meter, and you should get a reading close to zero.
