STARTER RELAY TEST
• Disconnect the two-way connector (1) (coloured white).
• Release the relay (2) from its mount.
• Slip off the two rubber gaiters (3-4).
• Disconnect the wires from their respective terminals on
the relay (2).
• Feed 12 V to the two terminals inside the connector (1)
at the relay end.
• Check for continuity across the two contact screws on
the relay (2) using the multimeter set to the Ohm
range.
Correct reading when relay is fed: 0 ohm
Correct reading when relay is not fed: ∞ ohm
• Change the relay (2) when the readings found deviate
from the specified values.
STARTER MOTOR TEST
• Remove the starter motor and connect it to a 12 V
battery in good working order.
• If the motor is not operating properly, check for brush
wear and inspect slip ring.
