Introduction

Component testing procedures are provided to determine whether a component is good or bad.

Testing information for each component includes a schematic, a view of the terminal locations and step-by-step test procedures.

Terminal locations are identified by numbers or letters that may be on the component or next to it. (Scheme 3)

Scheme 3

Scheme 3: Introduction

The component connector MUST BE REMOVED before testing. To test a single circuit within the component, select that circuit under the column "Circuit to test". If you wish to test the complete component, perform all tests.

Connect the tester to the terminals shown in the second column and operate the component as shown in the third column.

RELAY - MINI ISO (NO VOLTAGE APPLIED) - COMPONENT TESTING

Disconnect the ohmmeter and connect pins 30 and 85 to 12V DC power and pin 86 to ground. Measure voltage between pins 87 and 86. If the voltage is 12V, continue with the test. If not, replace the relay. Disconnect power from pin 85 and measure voltage between pins 87a and 86. If the voltage is 12V, the relay is okay. If not, replace the relay.
