  1. Inspect relay continuity

    1. Using an ohmmeter, check that there is continuity between terminals 1 and 3.
    2. Check that there is continuity between terminals 2 and 4.
    3. Check that there is no continuity between terminals 4 and 5.

      If continuity is not as specified, replace the relay.

  2. Inspect relay operation

    1. Apply battery voltage across terminals 1 and 3.
    2. Using an ohmmeter, check that there is no continuity between terminals 2 and 4.
