Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Modules, Relays & Solenoids: Relays
Turn ignition off. Disconnect fuel pump relay. Set DVOM on 200-ohm scale. On ISO relays, measure resistance between terminals No. 85 and 86. See Fig 1 . On all other relays, measure resistance between VPWR pin and FUEL PUMP circuit pin at fuel pump relay. On all relays, both readings should be 40-85 ohms. Set DVOM to 10-k/ohm scale. On ISO relays, measure resistance between terminal No. 85 and terminals No. 30 and 87. On all other relays, measure resistance between FUEL PUMP circuit terminal and both POWER-TO-PUMP and B+ pins at fuel pump relay. On all relays, if all readings are more than 10,000 ohms, relay is okay. If any reading is 10,000 ohms or less, replace fuel pump relay.

When to See a Mechanic
Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:
- • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
