2G 95 MFI/MPI Relay

Testing the relay is a matter of applying power to the coil winding and making sure the contacts close. Inside the metal box are two relays, one for the MPI power and one for the fuel pump power. The fuel pump relay has two coil windings and energising either should close the contacts.

This is the circuit for an 1G automatic car taken from the 1G tech manual. The manual cars have the starter relay and clutch safety switch replacing the AT Inhibitor switch for providing power to the second fuel pump coil to activate the pump while cranking the engine.

Applying +12v to pin 10 and the ground (-battery) connection to pin 8 should make 12v show up at pins 4 and 5. Same deal for pin 3 and 7 causing...
maybe one of you can help me!!!! my safc2 wont turn off when i turn the car off which means the ecu isnt turning off. ive had the safc for 6 months with no problems but one day just started doing this, the car runs perfect. looked at the ecu and looks fine, no leaks. so i think its the mpi relay becuase if i hit the relay with my hand the ecu turns off!
 
Here is what the MPI/MFI relays look like on a '97 GSX.

Same as the '95, only these are 2 separate relays and are behind that brace there, held on with the 2 bolts seen in the pic.

The relay with red wires is for the ECU. That relay brings both pins 12 & 25 up to +12 on the ECU, with key on and the 30A 'moteur' in place. Which is located - fuse box in engine bay.

When that relay is activated, the ECU is in turn, activated. Once that happens, the ECU then turns on the OTHER relay next to it for a brief amount of time, which is for the fuel pump to pressurize (prime) the fuel system when the key is first cycled to the 'run' position.

So if you pull the 30A 'moteur' fuse in the engine bay, then neither of those relays will switch on = no fuel pump because = no ECU.

After wiring in a few things and fixing the ECU wiring, I wanted to throw this out there before I forgot :p

Any false info, please let me know and I'll edit :thumb:

Is it located in the same place for the 1g.
