Other than Radiator Cooling Fan Relay No.2 (K14C Model and D16AA Model), Brake Light Relay, Windshield Wiper HI/LO Relay and Windshield Wiper Relay
1)Disconnect relay(s) to be checked. icon 
2)Check that there is no continuity between terminals “3” and “4”.
If there is faulty condition, replace relay.
3)Measure resistance between terminals “1” and “2” of relay.
If check result is not as specified, replace relay.
Relay resistance between terminals “1” and “2”
Main relay (K14C model and D16AA model) and fuel heater relay: Approx. 75 Ω at 20 °C (68 °F)
Additional heater relay: Approx. 120 Ω at 20 °C (68 °F)
Other than above relay: Approx. 170 Ω at 20 °C (68 °F)
4)Connect battery positive (+) terminal and negative (–) terminal to relay as shown in figure, and check for continuity between terminals “3” and “4”.
If there is no continuity when relay is connected to the battery, replace relay.
