K2 Control Board Resistance Checks

I have just finished the assembly of the K2 Control Board and am doing resistance checks, as per assembly instructions.  Since I have not done something like this before I am hoping I have interpreted the directions correctly.  The directions say to take measurements with respect to ground.  I am taking that to mean that after I set my multimeter to an appropriate ohms range, that I touch one test lead to the pin to be tested, and the other test lead to a place on the circuit board that is labeled 'ground'.
Can someone tell me if my interpretation of the directions is correct, and if so, then I have the following readings.  I have highlighted in red the readings that do not fall within the expected outcomes.  
Any insights would be helpful!

I am using a Radio Shack DMM.


Pin Tested                Should Read                What I got

P2   P1                    >10k                         slowly moves to 360k -400k                                 U5  5V pin                >2k                                13.96k
