3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

   Standard Resistance

   Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
   3 - 5	Voltage is not applied between terminals 1 and 2	10 kΩ or higher
   3 - 5	Voltage is applied between terminals 1 and 2	Below 1 Ω
   3 - 4	Voltage is not applied between terminals 1 and 2	Below 1 Ω
   3 - 4	Voltage is applied between terminals 1 and 2	10 kΩ or higher

NG → REPLACE BRK-LP RELAY 

OK: Go to next step 

1. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
