Starter Relay Test
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1996 Lexus SC 300 and 1995 Lexus SC 300. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Remove starter relay. See ELECTRICAL COMPONENT LOCATIONS table under DESCRIPTION & OPERATION. Starter relay is okay if it tests as follows:
- There is continuity between terminals No. 1 and 2. See Fig 1.
- There is no continuity between terminals No. 3 and 5.
- There is continuity between terminals No. 3 and 5 when battery voltage is applied across terminals No. 1 and 2.
