Post voltage and diode mode to ground on SCL/SDA lines of battery connector.
Don't forget to remove power when you check in diode mode!
I did as you asked. How else could I check it? Where was the black probe supposed to be? Could you elaborate specifically? Use exact instructions, please. Where exactly should I check with which probe? On which leg?
I hope this "How to" collection will help our members. I will possibly modify this post in time, if updates available. Trigger SMC_ONOFF_L (PMU_ONOFF_L): It reffers to simulate power button function, when the keyboard is not connected. We need to do this when we work with the board...

Connect positive probe of the multimeter (red) to ground and touch the test point with black probe.
Sometime (rarely) we need to test in reverse direction.
