- Using an ohmmeter, check continuity between main relay terminals No. 5 and No. 7. If continuity exists, go to step 3). If continuity does not exist, replace main relay.
- Connect battery voltage to main relay terminal No. 5 and ground terminal No. 2. Check continuity between terminals No. 1 and No. 3 of main relay. If continuity exists, go to next step. If continuity does not exist, replace main relay.
- Connect battery voltage to main relay terminal No. 3 and ground terminal No. 8. Check continuity between terminals No. 5 and No. 7 of main relay. If no continuity exists, replace main relay. If continuity exists, main relay is okay. If fuel pump still fails to operate, test main relay harness. See FUEL PUMP MAIN RELAY HARNESS
