I am getting the Waiting Check Cell Message on my Jandy TruClear control panel. I know that if the cell is clean and the salt is at the correct level that this could mean I have a bad cell. However, I think it could mean the circuit board in the control panel could be bad as well. Before buying a new salt cell (it is 3.5 yrs old and no longer under warranty), I want to determine which one is the culprit. I have a multimeter and plan to test the resistance across the salt cell by removing the cord from the control panel and testing at the leads at the end of the cord. I know that if it is open circuit that the cell is bad. If it is not open circuit, does anyone know what the resistance should read across the cell if it is clean and is a good cell? Thanks!

At 3.5 years old you are due for a new cell.
Just replace the cell first. It is likely your problem.
A multimeter is not going to tell you much.
