Control Relay Location:






The control relay, located in front of the center console, is both and input and output device for the ECU. It supplies the positive circuit to the EGR and purge solenoids, air flow sensor, ECU and injectors. The operation of the fuel pump is controlled by the ECU through the Control Relay.
