I think the 20 ohm as mentioned was a typo. most digital meters have a 200 ohm as the lowest scale.
When you do any ohm checking it's best to use a scale above what you expect to get. the primary on most coils is less than 5 ohms so the 200 ohm scale will give good results. Secondary are often in the 8 to 10 K ohms range so the 20 k range will give good results.
If you have no idea what sort of results you should get I have found to start up high and work down the scales till you get a reading that appears to be reasonable. One without any error messages or a decimal point.
