July 1: So it begins. Don't worry, this is not in the correct legal jurisdiction!

Component Testing

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the powertrain relay.
  2. Test for 65-110 ohms of resistance between terminals 85 and 86 of the relay.
    • If the resistance is not within the specified range, replace the relay.
  3. Test for infinite resistance between following terminals:
    • Terminal 30 and 86
    • Terminal 30 and 87
    • Terminal 30 and 85
    • Terminal 85 and 87
    • If not the specified value, replace the relay.
  4. Install a 20A fused jumper wire between relay terminal 85 and 12 volts. Install a jumper wire between relay terminal 86 and ground. Test for less than 1 ohm of resistance between terminals 30 and 87.
    • If greater than the specified range, replace the relay.
