Fuel Pump Relay: Description and Operation
LOCATION
The relay is mounted in Power Distribution Center.
PURPOSE
The relay supplies battery voltage to fuel pump and oxygen sensor heater element when energized by Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
OPERATION
The PCM energizes fuel pump relay by supplying relay ground, when ignition switch is in START or RUN position and PCM is receiving a
reference signal from distributor.
When the PCM does not receive reference signal from ignition system, (indicating engine is not running), then the PCM interrupts relay ground
circuit and no voltage is supplied to fuel pump, ignition coil, or oxygen sensor heater element.
The PCM controls fuel pump relay and Auto Shutdown (ASD) relay simultaneously, through same ground circuit.
