      Standard: 

      RELAY RESISTANCE SPECIFICATION

      Tester Connection Specified Condition
      3-5 10 & ohm or higher
      3-5 Below 1 & ohm (when battery voltage is applied to terminals 1 and 2)

      If the result is not as specified, replace the relay.

  3. INSPECT LOW PITCHED HORN ASSY 
    1. Apply battery voltage to the horn and check operation of the horn.
