The relay - the general information and check of serviceability of functioning

General information

For giving of power supply or a management signal on many of consumers of the electric power in the car (such as components of system of injection of fuel, a horn, a starter, the fan (ы) cooling systems, fog lights and so forth) are used by the relay. Actually, the relay represents the electric key providing short circuit of VV of a contour on NV to a signal. The relay exit out of operation steadily involves refusal of functioning of the corresponding consumer. Two main relays (the fuel pump and ignition) are located in the main assembly block established in an impellent compartment, other "are scattered" on the car. The description of check of serviceability of functioning of the relay is provided below. The failed relays are subject to replacement.

Principle of functioning of the relay of various type

Check

Always it is possible to determine correctness of connection of the relay by schemes of the electric connections given in Schemes of electric connections of the real Management.

Usually the management contour always is connected to two of contact plugs of the relay. When giving on these NV plugs of tension the current starts to circulate on a winding of management of the relay therefore there is a short circuit of big contacts of a working contour of the consumer of the electric power. Other plugs are plugs of working (VV) of a contour and become isolated among themselves when giving food on a management contour.

For the purpose of simplification of identification of plugs of the relay explanatory marking is usually put on its case with the image of the scheme of connection of keys. If similar marking is absent, it is necessary to address to schemes of electric connections (see. Schemes of electric connections).
