DIODE
1 of 1
STARTER RELAY VOLTAGE
Measure the voltage between the Yellow/red wire
terminal (+) of the harness side 2P connector and
ground ().
If the battery voltage appears only when the starter
switch is pushed with the ignition switch ON, the
circuit is normal.
OPERATION CHECK
Disconnect battery positive (+) cable and starter
motor cable from the starter relay switch.
Connect the fully charged 12 V battery positive ter-
minal to the Yellow/red wire terminal and negative
terminal to the Light green/red wire terminal of the
relay switch side 2P connector.
There should be continuity between the cable termi-
nals while the battery is connected, and no continu-
ity when the battery is disconnected.
INSPECTION
Remove the following:
seat (page 2-4)
fuel tank heat guard (page 8-6)
Remove the gear position (neutral) switch diode
and brake switch diode from the wire harness.
Check for continuity between the diode terminals.
When there is continuity, a small resistance value
will register.
If there is continuity in one direction, the diode is
normal.
