Honda Element EX 2004 - RELAYS POWER RELAY TEST

Use the chart to identify the type of relay, then do the test listed for it. See Fig. 11.

NOTE:

For turn signal/hazard relay input test see TURN SIGNAL/HAZARD RELAY INPUT TEST .

Fig. 11: Honda Element EX 2004 - Component Locations - Identifying Correct Test For Each Relay Application

Normally-Open Type A: Check for continuity between the terminals.

• There should be continuity between the No. 1 and No. 2 terminals when power and ground are connected to the No. 3 and No. 4 terminals.
• There should be no continuity between the No. 1 and No. 2 terminals when power is disconnected.
