Fuel Pump Relay: Description and Operation
Fuel Pump Relay

Fuel Pump Relay Schematic

PURPOSE

The fuel pump relay controls power flow to the fuel pump. 

LOCATION

Mounted in the relay box on the right side of the engine compartment, near the fuel pump resistor.

OPERATION

The relay is not powered during engine start, the fuel pump receives full voltage. After the engine begins to run, the ECU powers the relay coil.
When energized, power to the fuel pump goes through the fuel pump resistor causing a voltage drop. Lower voltage causes the fuel pump to run
slower and quieter.
