What triggers the ASD relay?
GREY/BLACK (Crank Signal) 5.0v switched to ground as the flywheel passes the sensor. The controller needs to see a 300rpm or greater signal here to activate the ASD/Fuel Pump relays. Side Note: Tan/Yellow is the cam sensor signal and switches the 5v signal voltage to ground as the cam sensor magnets rotate.
What is the ASD relay in a Jeep?
The Automatic Shutdown (ASD) relay controls the power supplied to the fuel injectors, ignition coil, oxygen sensor heater elements, and other parts of the power module.
How do you test an auto-shutdown relay?
(ASD) Relay Testing, With An Ohmmeter With the relay removed from the vehicle, use an ohmmeter to check the resistance between, terminals 85 and 86. The resistance should be, 75 ohms 5 ohms. Connect the ohmmeter between, terminals 30 and 87A. The ohmmeter should show continuity between, terminals 30 and 87A.
Where is the auto shutdown relay?
Where is the ASD relay located? The 5-pin, 12-volt, Automatic Shutdown (ASD) relay is located in the Power Distribution Center (PDC). Refer to label on PDC cover for relay location. The ASD relay supplies battery voltage (12+ volts) to the fuel injectors and ignition coil(s).
How do I know if my fuel pump or relay is bad?
Here are the symptoms of a bad or failing fuel pump relay
- Engine stalls. One of the first symptoms of an issue with the fuel pump relay is an engine that suddenly stalls.
- Engine does not start. Another symptom of a faulty fuel pump relay is an engine that does not start.
- No noise from the fuel pump.
What is the PCM relay?
The PCM relay, also known as the powertrain control module relay, comes with a power relay that provides battery voltage to the right PCM circuits. This relay applies to all vehicles that use the OBD-II system, especially those vehicles that are newer than 1996 to present.
Is a starter relay and ignition relay the same thing?
A starter relay is an ignition system component specially designed to transmit power from the car battery to the starter solenoid. This implies it is a switch between the starter solenoid and the starter motor. It is solely designed to transmit current from the car battery to the starter properly.
What is the automatic shut down relay on a jeep?
On jeeps its both, Software and Hardware, the ASD relay. (to me, they are all the same) ASD relay “Automatic Shut Down relay” used on all EFI jeeps. 1990 to present. What is it? It is a safety device, that exists by LAW and for good reasons. It CAN prevent FUEL fires (the Classic Crash and burn reason) and engine hyrdolocking.

What is the ASD relay on a jeep?
On most cars the ASD is just software in the ECU/PCM. On jeeps its both, Software and Hardware, the ASD relay. (to me, they are all the same) ASD relay “Automatic Shut Down relay” used on all EFI jeeps. 1990 to present.
Why does my Jeep throttle by wire shut down?
On even newer Jeeps with Throttle by wire, it might shut down with a catastrophic throttle by wire (TBW) T-body motor error or TPS stuck open on all cars, preventing “Toyota Run-Aways” if you get my drift. (lawsuits…) FACT: In each case the PCM will log errors and show DTC errors, if you only LOOK! SCAN IT!
