'In Circuit' is deceptive. On mine a low reading across an electrolytic in a circuit that also has a low value resistance across it will give a possible false 'Good' indication. That being said, a bad indication dictates further investigation.
Value and ESR are the two most important parameters. Electrolytic with bad ESR will usually also effect its value. |

Electrolytic capacitors CAN pass 'value' only meter tests, but still have, for example, bad ESR, which value only meters do NOT test for.  |
