RELAYS

Operation

The relays, located under the front storage box, assist with
component operation such as the fan, fuel pump, etc.

The fan relay, controlled by the ECU, operates the fan.

(Carbureted model also utilizes a fan relay)

The ECU relay, controlled by the key switch, operates the
ECU

The Ignition Coil and Fuel Pump relay, controlled by the
ECU, turns on power for components such as the fuel
pump, injectors, etc.
