Functioning key switch
Background The coil of the crank relay is energized when the key switch is in the START posi-
tion.
Procedure Follow the procedure below to check the crank relay.
1. Open the hood and locate the crank relay (a).
2. Check the voltage between terminal 30 (red wire #40) and ground. This test
may be done at the plug (b) with it disconnected from the crank relay.
Is battery voltage (approximately 12V) measured?
3. With the key switch in the START position, check the voltage between terminal
86 (black wire #04) and ground. This test may be done at the plug (b) with it dis-
connected from the crank relay.
Is battery voltage (approximately 12V) measured?
4. With the key switch in the START position, check the voltage between terminal
87 and ground (red wire #35). For this test, the plug
(b) must be connected to
the crank relay. Position the plug as shown to allow access to terminal 87.
