Welcome to the forums.

That projector uses a metal halide mercury vapor type discharge lamp. It cannot be checked for operation other than checking to make sure the interior capsule isn't broken. Since it's a discharge type lamp the voltage is too high to measure. The only way to diagnose a problem is to replace old lamp with new.

If you look at the manual I left below.... it tells you how to read the diagnostic LED's built into the projector for the lamp.
