Starter Relay Test
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Toyota 4Runner and 2003 Toyota 4Runner. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Locate and remove starter relay. Starter relay is marked "ST". Using ohmmeter, verify continuity between relay terminals No. 1 and 2. See Fig 1. Continuity should not exist between terminals No. 3 and 5. If continuity is not as specified, replace relay.
- Check relay operation by applying battery voltage through terminals No. 1 and 2. See Fig 1. Continuity should now exist between terminals No. 3 and 5. If relay does not test as indicated, replace relay.
