Relay Test

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1997 Acura 3.5RL. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

With relay removed, use DVOM to check continuity between relay terminals "A" and "B". See Fig 1 . Continuity should not exist. Apply battery voltage across terminals "C" and "D". Continuity should exist between terminals "A" and "B". If continuity is not as indicated, replace relay.
