has cooled down to the ambient tempera-
ture.
e. Measure the voltage between the battery
terminals.
13.25 V or more The battery is normal.
Checking is finished.
10 V or more and less than 13.25 V
Perform from step (c) again.
Less than 10 V Replace the battery.
TIP
Before replacing the battery, make sure that the
battery temperature is proper (temperature not
more than 65 C (149 F) or less than 0 C (32
F)). Otherwise, wait until the battery tempera-
ture is proper and perform the procedure from
step (c) again.

CHECKING THE RELAYS
Check each switch for continuity with the digital
circuit tester. If the continuity reading is incor-
rect, replace the relay.

1. Disconnect the relay from the wire harness.
2. Connect the digital circuit tester () and bat-
tery (12 V) to the relay terminal as shown.
Check the relay operation.
