General Description
Main relay operates when Ignition ON signal is inputted to ECM and it supplies power to ECM, fuel pump relay, CMPS, EGR actuator, throttle flap actuator, PTC heater relay and brake switch, etc. Especially, the power supplied to ECM is used as a main power of injectors, rail pressure control valve and ECM operation. When IG key ON signal is shut off during turning engine OFF, ECM stops injector operation then engine turns OFF after approx. 16 ~ 20 sec. ECM shuts OFF main relay and system turns OFF. Main relay is very important for engine operation, so careful inspection is strongly required.
DTC Description
When IG key OFF signal is inputted to ECM. ECM stops injector operation and engine turns OFF. Then, After-run (turning off process of ECM internal system) is performed in order to shut system down. During this process, if main relay power supply is cut too late or power supply is cut too early before After-run process completes, ECM detect main relay error and P0685 is set.
