Component Test

Relay

  • Switch the ignition OFF.
  • Disconnect the relay.
  • Using an external 12 V DC supply or use fused battery voltage.
  • Using a digital multimeter.
  • Using a test cable and set up the test as in the following description.
  1. Check the relay contact in normal condition (open position)

Measure the resistance between terminal 30 and terminal 87

Is the resistance greater than 10 kohms?

If yes, go to 2.

If no, INSTALL a new relay.

  1. Check relay contact in activated condition (closed position)
  • Connect the power supply positive terminal with the relay, pin 86.
  • Connect the power supply negative terminal with the relay, pin 85.

Measure the resistance between terminal 30 and terminal 87.

Does the relay switch (audible click) when voltage is applied and is the resistance less than 1 ohm?

If yes, the relay is OK.

If no, INSTALL a new relay.
