Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Circuit Opening Relay (Land Cruiser)
Circuit opening relay controls fuel pump circuit by supplying voltage to fuel pump relay. When EFI main relay is energized, it provides battery voltage to one side of circuit opening relay. When ignition is turned on, voltage is supplied through IGN1 fuse to other side of circuit opening relay. When proper input signals are delivered to Engine Control Module (ECM), circuit opening relay ground circuit is grounded at ECM terminal FC. Circuit opening relay then provides voltage to fuel pump relay which supplies voltage to fuel pump for fuel pump operation. For circuit opening relay location, see CIRCUIT OPENING RELAY LOCATION . Circuit opening relay may also be identified by appropriate illustration in appropriate SYSTEM & COMPONENT TESTING article. For operation of fuel pump relay, see FUEL PUMP RELAY & FUEL PUMP RESISTOR (LAND CRUISER, SEQUOIA & TUNDRA 4.7L V8) .
