Sub-System Diagnostics
NOTE: A diode can fail in two modes, either shorted or open. Continuity will be
START RELAY COIL
YES: If continuity is
measured in one direction only in a serviceable diode. Use "diode checking mode" on
SUPPRESSION DIODE
measured in both checks,
meter when checking continuity.
(V9) CHECK
diode has failed in a
shorted mode. Replace.
NO: If continuity is NOT
measured in either check,
diode has failed in an
open mode. Replace.
NO: If continuity is
measured in one check
and not the other, diode

is OK.
Remove diode from connector.
Connect an ohmmeter to diode terminals.

YES: Relay is OK. Check
BATTERY RELAY (K14)
S--Relay Coil +24 Volt Terminal
wiring harness.
CHECK
E--Relay Coil Ground Terminal
B--Relay Battery Input Terminal
A--Relay Battery Output Terminal
NO: Relay has failed.
Replace relay.
Disconnect harness from relay. Connect 24 volts to small
terminal S and ground small terminal E. Measure
continuity between large terminals A and B.

Disconnect fusible link from battery relay.
YES: Fusible link is OK.
60 AMP FUSIBLE LINK
Check wiring harness.
(F22) CHECK
Connect ohmmeter to both ends of fusible link. Measure
continuity between terminals.
NO: Fusible link has
failed. Replace fusible
link.
