Main Relay: Notes

The Main Relay provides power for the EMS2000 and other system components. It has an additional function of protecting system components from reverse battery polarity. (Main Relay will not energize with reverse polarity.)

When the ignition switch is placed in the KL15 or KL50 positions, Fuse 34 is provided with power. Fuse 34 supplies the wake up or on signal to the EMS2000. Upon receipt of the "ON" signal EMS2000 supplies a ground signal from Pin 97 to the Main Relay. The ground signal energizes the Main Relay, supplying operating power to the following fuses:
