.
• Apply 12 V to
A
and
B
terminals and check for continuity
between the positive
+
and negative
-
terminals using the
multi circuit tester. If the starter relay clicks and continuity is
found, the relay is OK.

• Measure the relay coil resistance between the terminals using
the multi circuit tester. If the resistance is not within the speci-
fied value, replace the starter relay with a new one.

Tester knob indication: Resistance (
)
Starter relay resistance: 3 – 6
Do not apply battery voltage to the starter relay for
more than five seconds, since the relay coil may over-
heat and get damaged.
