How can I test the original pressure switch to see if it is faulty?

My Hotpoint FDUD4812 is showing error code A5 which seems a common fault on the forums. The filters are clear and the circulation pump is not clogged up. Some forums suggest the pressure switch may be the cause.

    The pressure switch will measure continuity between two connections, this will 'break' if the tube is blown into when the switch 'clicks' and two other connections will make contact.
