Relay Test

The starter relay is located in the Power Distribution Center (PDC) in engine compartment. Refer to label on PDC cover for relay location.

Starter Relay (ISO Micro Relay):

1. Remove starter relay from PDC.
2. A relay in de-energized position should have continuity between terminals 87 A and 30, and no continuity between terminals 87 and 30. If OK, go to Step 3. If not OK, replace faulty relay.
3. Resistance between terminals 85 and 86 (electromagnet) should be 75 ± 5 ohms. If OK, go to Step 4. If not OK, replace faulty relay.
4. Connect a battery to terminals 85 and 86. There should now be continuity between terminals 30 and 87, and no continuity between terminals 87 A and 30. If OK, perform following Relay Circuit Test. If not OK, replace faulty relay.
