A DMM in diode test mode should report the voltage drop in mV, not ohms. From the reported numbers, that does seem to be the case, and I'd agree with Trevor - it does sound like a Schottky type - probably a 1N5817, 8 or 9.
Aside from the low voltage drop, why do you think it's faulty?
I'm guessing it's in series with the power to provide reverse polarity protection, hence a Schottky to minimise losses.
