CONTINUITY INSPECTION
Remove the starter relay switch.
Connect an ohmmeter to the switch large terminals.
Connect a fully charged 1 2 V battery positive wire to the start-
er relay switch Yellow/Red wire terminal, and the battery neg-
ative wire to the Green/Red wire terminal.
There should be continuity while the battery is connected to
the terminals, and no continuity when the battery is discon-
nected.
