The following table identifies the function of each fuel pump relay contact point:
Contacts
Description
85 and 86
Coil contacts. Grounds the PCM connection and activates the relay, which closes the circuit
contacts.
30 and 87 Circuit contacts. When the coil is activated these contacts form a closed circuit.
The fuel pump relay receives driver power from the red/blue wire. The PCM grounds pin AB4 (yellow/black wire) to complete
the driver power circuit and close the fuel pump relay. If the PCM does not detect an RPM signal, the pump will turn off after
several seconds. When the relay is closed, battery power flows from the fuse on the red/pink wire and through the relay to the
fuel pump on the pink wire.

Main Power Relay (MPR)
The main power relay (MPR) is activated by the PCM and supplies power to the ignition and fuel injection components through
the fuse block. The relay is supplied with power from the hot stud and positive battery cable. It is located behind the starboard
intake runner. To remove and install the starboard intake runner, refer to the appropriate outboard service manual.
