Power Relays
Relay Test
Turn Signal/Hazard Relay:
See page 23-172
Normally-open type:
1. Check for continuity between the terminals.. There should be continujty between the No. 1 andNo.3 terminals when power and ground are con-nected to the No. 2 and No. 4 terminals.. There should be no continuity between the No. 1and No. 3 terminals when power is disconnected.

-Performance Test
NOTE: Before staning the following checks. disconnect
the wire from terminal M. and make a connection as
described below using as heavy a wire as possible (prefer-
ably equivalent to the wire used for the car).
Pull-in CoilTest:
Connect the battery as shown, lf the staner pinion pops
out. it is working proPerly.
CAUTION: Do not leavo tho batterv connost€d for more
than 10 seconds.
Hold-in Coil Test:
Disconnect the battery from the M terminal' lf the pinion
does not retract, the hold-in coil is working properly.
CAUTION: Do not loavc lhe battsry connected for mot6
than 10 ssconds.
Retracting Tosi:
Disconnect the battery also from the body. lf the pinion
retracts immediately, it is working properly.
GAUTION: Do not loave the baftery conn€ctod tor more
than 10 seconds.
Startor No-load Tost:
Clamp the starter firmly in a vise.
Connect the starter to the battery as described in
the diagram below, and confirm that the motor
starts and keeps rotating.
