INSPECTION OF STARTER RELAY
1. DISCONNECT CABLE FROM NEGATIVE TERMINAL OFBATTERY
CAUTION: Work must be started after approx. 20 seconds or
longer from the time the ignition switch is turned to the
ºLOCKº position and the negative (±) terminal cable is dis-
connected from the battery.
2. REMOVE STATER RELAY LOCATION: In the engine compartment relay box.
3. INSPECT STARTER RELAY
A. Inspect relay continuity
(a) Using an ohmmeter, check that there is continuitybetween terminals 1 and 2.
(b) Check that there is no continuity between terminals 3 and 5.
If continuity is not as specified, replace the relay.
B. Inspect relay operation (a) Apply battery voltage across terminals 1 and 2.
(b) Using an ohmmeter, check that there is continuitybetween terminals 3 and 5.
If operation is not as specified, replace the relay.
4. REINSTALL STARTER RELAY
5. RECONNECT CABLE TO NEGATIVE TERMINAL OF BATTERY
