Fuel Pump Relay: Description and Operation
Relay Locations
PURPOSE
Relay supplies battery voltage to the fuel pump and oxygen sensor heater element, when grounded by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
OPERATION
The PCM grounds the relay when the ignition switch is in the START or RUN position and the PCM is receiving reference signals from the
distributor pick-up.
If the PCM does not receive a signal from the distributor pick-up, (engine not running), the PCM interrupts the relay ground and no voltage is
supplied to the fuel pump and oxygen sensor heater element.
NOTE: The PCM controls the Auto Shutdown (ASD) and fuel pump relays simultaneously, through the same ground circuit.
