Why asd relay clicking

ASD automatic shut down relay for non FCA owners of cars
the ASD is ECU slave relay the fuel pump can not shut down the pump in fact the opposite is try.
ASD drops mostly if the ECU sees spark loss and this act disables the injectors and the pump to end Crash and burn as seen on TV>
learn how ASD works first or go broke fast.
No engine told or size. and matters for eCU used.
pin 51 ECU shots of ASD , it and ONLY IT
but I told you spark must be good. on all cars made EFI same answer, now you know way too(crash safety)
the red line I made all that goes dead, just one schmatic and wow facts easy out of the SM.
I do not claim to know all ecu ASD relay shut downs, (air bags, none)
but spark tops the list off all EFI cars made, all.

In this diagram, the asd relay supplies voltage to fuel pump. See the red wire, hot all the time, protected by fusible link. Use a test lite check for voltage on that wire? If it is hot, unplug the asd relay use a jumper wire on load side of relay, the load side is that line with arrowhead. Use a jumper wire between red and dark green wire terminals, if the pump runs, hopefully it is ok. The problem would be on control side of relay, right side in picture. The control side of relay needs both voltage and ground.
Any applicable trouble codes?

I see you replaced the fuel pump , spark plugs an wires , fuel fliter an checked ignition coil pack , Connections ,ASD relay . And everything checks OK ?????? How did you check these thing's ? Testing electrical circuits with a DVOM - digital volt ohm meter ? Fuel pressure testing the fuel pump before replacing ? Does the vehicle have spark ? How about hooking up a scan tool that can view engine sensor data .A bad coolant temp sensor could cause hard starting. Did you check the dark blue with yellow trace wire at the PCM connector 2 pin 67 . This is the PCM control side of the ASD relay . Do you know how a relay works ? how to test at the relay base ? where in plugs into.

first check all fuses.
well if the security lamp is on, and the IMMobilizer light glows
it will never run. (by design) (2 seconds max)
so are the lights glowing?
no power going. (when,)
did you read the FSM on the staged events to get engine started.
my wild guess? (sad i have to ask) is it wont start?
1: IMMO not active
2: battery charged volts near 12.6vdc rested.
3: starter cranks fast. and ASD closes
4: ASD relay sees good spark and CKP, and CMP sensors.
5: engine starts, if #4 is good then it sustains running.
if not ASD drops out in 2 seconds. killing INJECTION.
it cuts the fuel pump too.

the PCM will throw a DTC error code (did you scan it cranking ??)
for if the ASD fails to OUTPUT 12v. at step 3.

the PCM closes it, then looks, and if output is bad, it ends this event and logs the failure..

to check the pump , it takes 2 people
one at the key, and one at the pump wires.
or you WILL miss the 2second event.

one way to avoid all that is to hold finger on the ASD relay
and keyon and see if it clicks closed.
if not ., no need to check pump ,its LAST in the chain,
if the ASD clicks and drops out, during that click the pump does run
for 2 seconds, min.,
if the ASD is dead, check the PCM control line to the ASD for
making coil energized in the ASD relay, (12vdc across it for 2seconds)
if the coil is energized, and the DTC throws, for bad ASD , it is.
if the ASD goes, hot only for 2 seconds, again use any $9
scan tool to see the error.
here is the scan too tests. most books forget.
1: scan tool connected.
2; Crank engine for 5 seconds, (min)
3: release key. BINGO, the ECU tells you why the ASD dropped out.
eg: ASD error, CMP error, CKP errors or others (spark?)
does RPM read near 250rpm cranking? on the scan tool?
Is TPS throttle angle near 100% (cutting fuel) ? bad tps. (cut wires)


fixing cars without a $9 scan tool , as sold on feabay is 100x harder.
get the tool and use it.
they rent them cheap or loan them for free.
not to be confused with a code reader, which are near useless.
imo.....

write the numbers down on a tablet call your dealer for a new relay

PCM is powertrain control module. ASD is automatic shutdown. The PCM operates the Automatic Shutdown relay and fuel pump relay. The ASD relay supplies power to the fuel injectors and ignition coil. The fuel pump relay connects power to the fuel pump.

The ASD is what powers the fuel pump relay you need to check the engine fuse box junction for open fuse especially the fuel pump fuse and the ignition fuse. Get the ASD power corrected and the fuel pump injectors coil and reference will be back in action,check the fuse especially fuse No.23

This is a delay to power the fuel pump. You need to check the output from the ECU/ECM. check for any error codes, check if there is power from the switch. Once the engine runs , you need to see if there is any error codes or faulty symptoms.

Sounds like engine control relay.

Have you checked the ASD (Automatic Shut Down) Relay? Check to see if that is getting power. Then check to see if the ASD Relay itself is good. You do not have to use any special tools/knowledge to check this. You can change this Relay out with another Relay that is the same shape and type on a function that is known working. For example: Check to see if your Front Windshield Wipers are working. Change out the ASD Relay with this Front Windshield On/Off Relay. Check the Wipers again. If it does not work, then the ASD Relay is bad. With the Front Wiper Relay in the ASD now check for power to the Fuel Pump Relay.
One additional fact: IF the Crankshaft Position Sensor is bad the Engine will not operate at all, meaning there will be no power sent to anything including the fuel pump relay!
