12V Automotive Relay Tester – 4 & 5 Pin LED Indicator
Universal 12V Automotive Relay Tester with LED Indicator
Take the guesswork out of diagnosing electrical faults in your vehicle. This compact automotive relay tester (model CNBJ-707) connects directly to your 12V car battery and performs a thorough go/no-go check on the most common 4-pin and 5-pin automotive relays — giving you an instant GREEN or RED LED result in seconds.
Made in Mainland China.
Why You'll Love This Relay Tester
- Quick Pass/Fail Results: GREEN LED = relay passed; RED LED = relay failed or pin mismatch. No guessing, no multimeter math.
- Supports 4-Pin & 5-Pin Relays: A simple selector switch lets you test either relay type across three receptacle sockets.
- 10-Cycle Contact Test: The tester automatically opens and closes the relay 10 times to verify contact closure speed, opening time, and overall consistency.
- Direct Battery Power: Powered by your car's existing 12V battery (11V–15V range) via colour-coded alligator clips — no separate power source needed.
- LED Power Indicator: The unit lights RED when powered on so you always know it's ready to test.
- Compact & Portable: Slim enough to toss in your glovebox or tool bag for roadside or workshop use.
How to Use
- Clip the black alligator lead to the battery's negative terminal and the red lead to the positive terminal. The LED will illuminate RED to confirm power.
- Identify your relay type (4-pin or 5-pin) and set the selector switch accordingly.
- Plug the relay into one of the three receptacle sockets on the tester.
- Press the TEST button.
- The tester verifies pin configuration, cycles the relay contacts 10 times, and checks consistency. GREEN LED = pass; RED LED = fail.
- Disconnect the alligator clips and remove the relay when done.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Which relay types does this automotive relay tester support?
A: The CNBJ-707 relay tester supports the most common 4-pin and 5-pin automotive relays. A selector switch on the unit lets you choose the correct configuration before plugging in and testing your relay.
Q: Does the relay tester need its own batteries or power supply?
A: No separate power supply is needed. The tester draws power directly from your vehicle's 12V car battery (operating range 11V–15V) through the included colour-coded alligator clips, making it ready to use anywhere your car is parked.
Q: What do the LED indicator colours mean on this relay tester?
A: When connected to the battery, the LED lights RED to show the unit is powered and ready. After pressing the TEST button, a GREEN LED indicates the relay passed all checks (pin configuration, contact timing, and consistency). A RED LED indicates the relay has failed one or more checks or has an unrecognised pin layout.
Q: What coil resistance is recommended for accurate relay testing?
A: For best results, use this tester with automotive relays that have a coil resistance of 20 ohms or higher. Relays with very low coil resistance may not produce accurate go/no-go results.
