Electrocution hazard. Contact with
electrically charged circuits could
result in death or serious injury.
Remove all rings, watches and
other jewelry.
1 Label and then disconnect all the wiring from
the relay to be tested.
2 Connect the leads from an ohmmeter or
continuity tester to each terminal combination
and check for continuity. Terminals 85 and 86
represent the coil and should not be tested in
any other combination.
Test
terminal 85 to 86 with resistor
terminal 87 to 87a & 30
terminal 87a to 30
3 Connect 12V DC to terminal 85 and a ground
wire to terminal 86, then test the following
terminal combinations.
