Other than looking for a circuit breaker button (most receivers have a circuit breaker button to protect against shorts or excess current if dish freezes), it isn't easy. You might be able to check for pulses by artificially connecting the pulse wires to see if the counts change on the receiver, although it will take a lot of tapping (I think on most receivers, the counts will change even if you aren't telling the motor to move via the receiver). However it usually isn't easy to check for voltage on the main motor wires. This is because most receivers almost immediately cut off motor voltage if it doesn't see pulses immediately, so if you hook up to a voltmeter and try moving the dish, all you normally get is a very short pulse, then nothing.
