Relay Test

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Buick Lucerne. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the DRL relay.
  2. Test for 60-120 ohms of resistance between terminals 85 and 86.
    • If the resistance is not within the specified range, replace the relay.
  3. Test for infinite resistance between the following terminals:
    • 30 and 85
    • 30 and 86
    • 30 and 87
    • If not the specified value, replace the relay.
  4. Install a 3A fused jumper wire between relay terminal 85 and B+. Install a jumper wire between relay terminal 86 and ground. Test for less than 2 ohms of resistance between terminals 30 and 87.
    • If greater than the specified range, replace the relay.
