Relay Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Pontiac Torrent and 2007 Chevrolet Equinox. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the headlamp relay.
- Test for 65 to 95 ohms of resistance between terminals 85 and 86.
- If the resistance is not within the specified range, replace the relay.
- Test for infinite resistance between the following terminals:
- 30 and 86
- 30 and 87
- 30 and 85
- 85 and 87
- If less than infinite resistance, replace the relay.
- Test for less than 2 ohms of resistance between terminals 30 and 87A.
- If greater than 2 ohms, replace the relay.
- Install a 15-amp fused jumper wire between relay terminal 85 and 12 volts. Install a jumper wire between relay terminal 86 and ground. Measure for less than 2 ohms of resistance between terminals 30 and 87.
- If greater than 2 ohms, replace the relay.
