Checking The Control Module For Open-Circuits

• Remove relay 2/115.

  Check the driver circuit for the relay coil for an open-circuit as follows: activate the relay driver. Measure the voltage between terminals #1 and #2 on the relay base.

  HINT: The voltage between terminals #1 and #2 should be battery voltage. 

  HINT: If the value deviates excessively, check the voltage between terminal #2 and the battery voltage and between terminal #1 and ground. Both should equal battery voltage. 

  HINT: Check for an open-circuit. 

  HINT: Do not forget to check that the power supply to the control module is OK.
