In particular, the holding relay within the ecu itself.
I would like to better understand its function, so please add to or correct me if I am mistaken.
The ecu gets fed bat 12V from T30 through fuse S27 into pin 18. This is one side of the holding relay.
Pin 37 feeds out from the ecu to fuse S28, the 87A terminal of the fusebox/fuel pump relay and onto the injectors/MAF and other components. This is the other side of the relay.
I have read that the holding relay's purpose is to provide 12V to the various components with the ign on but before starting has occured. It also controls the MAF burn off with ign off. It also might have some function for the output diagnosis.
Once the car has started the fuel pump relay provides power to those components from 87a.
So my questions are:
What energises the holding relay - Is it the ign 12V signal at pin 27?
Is the relay still energised when the car has started?
