Help with extruder wire resistance

I'm hoping someone could help me with checking the wiring resistance for my extruder wires.
The temp will not climb above 224 after printer has been on for 10-15 minutes. While printing, the temp drops to 222 (at first) and hovers there, then steps down after a while to 217-218 (and hovers there, no matter what I have the temp set to).
Here is a pic of my meter...will this suffice? and what do I set it on, if so, and what reading am I hoping for?

Thanx in advance!
