I just tested my thermistor using ohms at 2K setting the reading say .549 ohms. Does that mean Its really 5490 ohms? This is what Im testing

The readings are often in k-ohms, so it could mean 549 ohms. Does it change when you heat up and cool the thermistor?

Does your multimeter show zero when you touch the probes together?

No, I tested it before I put it in ice water and it was reading the same.
