Starter Relay: Testing and Inspection
Measure the resistance between starter motor relay terminal 1, and starter motor relay housing. The resistance should indicate less than 1 ohm. If the
resistance is greater than 1 ohm, clean any corrosion at the starter relay mounting points, or replace the starter motor relay if necessary. If the resistance
is less than 1 ohm, measure the resistance between starter motor relay terminals 2 and 3. The resistance should indicate infinite (open). If the resistance
does not indicate infinite (open), replace the starter motor relay. If the resistance is infinite (open), measure resistance between the starter motor relay
terminals 2 and 3, while applying B+ to the starter motor relay terminal 1. The resistance should indicate less than 5 ohms. If the resistance is greater
than 5 ohms, replace the starter motor relay. If the resistance is less than 5 ohms, GO to the Starting System Symptom Chart for the correct Pinpoint
Tests. See: Testing and Inspection/Symptom Related Diagnostic Procedures
