Relay Test
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the appropriate relay.
- Test for 70-150 Ω between terminals (85 or 1) and (86 or 2).
- If less than 70 or greater than 150 Ω
Replace the relay.
- If between 70-150 Ω
- If less than 70 or greater than 150 Ω
- Test for infinite resistance between the terminals listed below:
- (30 or 3) and (86 or 2)
- (30 or 3) and (87 or 5)
- (30 or 3) and (85 or 1)
- (85 or 1) and (87 or 5)
- (86 or 2) and (87 or 5)
- If less than infinite resistance
Replace the relay.
- If infinite resistance
- Install a 3 A fused jumper wire between relay terminal (85 or 1) and 12 V. Install a jumper wire between relay terminal (86 or 2) and ground.
- Test for less than 5.0 Ω between terminals (30 or 3) and (87 or 5).
- If 5.0 Ω or greater
Replace the relay.
- If less than 5.0 Ω
- If 5.0 Ω or greater
- All OK
