1992 Hyundai Excel GL, AutomaticFACTORY OEM SERVICE PROCEDURE

Control Relay (1.5L)

  1. Remove control relay, located under left side of dashboard, near instrument panel. Check continuity between terminals No. 3 and 8 and then terminals No. 2 and 8 using an ohmmeter. See Fig 1 . Resistance should be about 95 ohms. Check continuity between terminals No. 6 and 7. Resistance should be about 35 ohms. Check continuity between relay terminals No. 1 and 4. Continuity should not exist. If continuity exists, control relay is defective; replace control relay. If continuity does not exist, go to next step.
  2. Connect a 12-volt battery across relay terminals No. 6 (positive) and No. 7 (negative). See Fig 1 . Continuity should exist between terminals No. 1 and 4. Disconnect battery from relay. Using ohmmeter check between terminals No. 1 and 3. Continuity should not exist. Check between terminals No. 7 and 5 and then reverse leads.
  3. Continuity should exist in one direction only. Connect 12-volt battery across terminals No. 5 and 7. Continuity should exist between terminals No. 1 and 3. If results are not as specified, replace control relay.
