What does an EEC relay do?

The EEC Power Relay not only supplies battery voltage to the fuel injection computer (also known as the E.E.C. Electronic Control Assembly), but also supplies power to the fuel injectors, the fuel pump relay, and a few other emissions related solenoids.

Why does the Ford EEC power relay activate?

As soon as the EEC Power Relay get’s power (on circuit 2 ), the relay activates. The EEC Power Relay activates because its low current circuit is grounded 24/7 (all of the time) by wire 1. In this test section, we’re gonna’ test circuit 1 but there are some very important precautions you have to take:

How does the EEC relay in a fuel pump work?

Relay Basics: How The EEC Power Relay Works. This is the circuit that delivers the voltage (and thus current) to the Fuel Injection Computer (EEC Electronic Control Assembly), fuel injectors, fuel pump relay, etc. When the relay is not activated, this circuit is ‘open’, and as such, does not send any power to anything.

Do you need to test the EEC power relay?

This tells you that the EEC Power Relay is OK and doing its job. This test result also indirectly tells you that the wire labeled with the number 1 is providing a good Ground for the EEC Power Relay (and thus you don’t need to perform TEST 4). So, to make the long story short, the EEC Power Relay is NOT the cause of your Ford’s no start problem.

Why does my Ford pickup have a green relay?

You’ll be able to find out if the fuel pump relay, or the fuel pump Inertia Switch, or the fuel pump is the cause of the No Start Condition on your Ford car or pickup. If your fuel injected Ford pickup, van, or car still has the Ford relay, this bad boy will be a green color (like the one in the image viewer).

Where is the EEC relay on a Ford Focus?

Thank you for asking your question on JustAnswer The EEC relay is the brown relay located on the LH Side Of EngineCompartment, On Relay Bracket. Fuel pump relay is next to the EEC Relay. Ron, ASE Certified Technician Category: Ford Satisfied Customers:42,522 Experience: 23 years with Ford specializing in drivability and electrical and AC.

What causes missing voltage on Ford EEC relay?

These 10 to 12 Volts are provided by an inline fusible link (on the starter motor solenoid) or by a mega fuse on the engine compartment fuse box. The most common cause of this missing voltage will be that the inline fusible link or the mega fuse is blown.
