Short all three pins together for the first four self-tests. Then just before the last test insert a 100nF capacitor. Switch on will now display 'no/unknown/damaged part'. It will now measure capacitors over about 35pF, displaying the correct value. There will be no indication with smaller capacitors - to measure those have them in parallel with a larger capacitor (say 100pF). Thanks to Steve G1KQH for this tip.
