RTFM

"1" is your meter's way of showing that the measured value is out of range. ie infinite resistance or open circuit.

Touching the probes together is not a valid test on the diode test range.

Try testing a good semiconductor diode. It'll read forward volt drop one way and reverse resistance (generally infinite) the other.
