What causes a jeep ASD relay to stop working?
Can be 50 causes, but in macro form is, bad engine bad spark plugs and wires, bad fueling, which can be flooding or lost fuel pressure (stavation) Stalls for bad engine are lost compression hot. Some engine can do that, even stuck open head valves now or only HOT. (and many more issues inside the actual engine)
What does it mean when the ASD relay shuts down?
ASD relay closes for 2 seconds, but you discover no 12vdc at coil + or injector 12vdc power is dead (during said 2 seconds), or (0v) cranking. – This means the ASD relay is bad. (bad contacts, replace it) ASD relay closes, but I have no spark to any cylinders. – So is bad Ignition coil, or crank /cam sensors or bad ignitor module.
How does the ASD work on a jeep?

What are the fuses on a Jeep Wrangler?
Buzzer Module, Defogger Switch, Gauge Package, Tachometer, Emission Maintenance Timer, Warning Lamps, Gauges, Heated Rear Window Relay, Back-Up Lamps, A/C Compressor Clutch Relay, Defogger Relay How to check the fuses? How to replace a blown fuse?
Why is no spark coming from ignition coil?
The ASD relay is controlled by the computer and it won’t energize the ASD relay until it’s happy with all of its required signals like I mentioned above. Short update. The ignition coil isn’t getting any voltage so I guess the coil itself is not the problem.
Can a throttle by wire shut down a jeep?
On even newer Jeeps with Throttle by wire, it might shut down with a catastrophic throttle by wire (TBW) T-body motor error or TPS stuck open on all cars, preventing “Toyota Run-Aways” if you get my drift. (lawsuits…) FACT: In each case the PCM will log errors and show DTC errors, if you only LOOK!

Why is my Jeep PCM not working properly?
If the problem was only with the scanner connection, the jeep would at least run normally. Now these 2 problems combined would lead to think that there is some electrical connection problem with the PCM. I would disconnect the battery and then disconnect and clean the PCM connectors with electrical contact cleaner.
Why is my automatic shutdown relay making a clicking noise?
Automatic Shutdown (ASD) Relay Making A Clicking Noise (Common On Jeep) Most likely the clicking noise is because there wasn’t enough voltage going to the relays to engage them. As a result, The (ECU) was detecting a low battery condition even though it had a good battery.
Why did my Jeep Wrangler have a no start condition?
This blog post talks about how we helped a shop repair a 2000 Jeep Wrangler with an ASD Relay that was not activating, causing a no start condition. The shop called us for help late in the repair process, they already installed a new ASD relay and was about to install a new powertrain control module (PCM).

How does the auto shutdown relay on a Jeep Wrangler work?
Have to take some wire, wire either coil (85 or 86) to ground and carefully touch the other cool to 12v. If it clicks, it works. Ive never seen one burn out at the 30 coil. All it does is switch whatever polarity is wired to 30, to either 87 or 87a. Then probe the coil wired at the harness.
Where does the auto shut down relay get power?
The auto shut down (ASD) relay gets power from fuse #6 (15 Amp) and fuse #15 (30 Amp) of the Power Distribution Center (PDC). The PCM activates the ASD relay and the fuel pump relay at the exact same time and thru’ the same circuit (PNK wire).
What is the ASD relay on a Jeep Cherokee?
Circuit A21 powers circuit F99 through PDC fuse 18. Circuit F99 feeds the coil side of the Automatic Shut Down (ASD) relay. The Power train Control Module (PCM) provides ground for the relay on circuit K900.
When does the ASD relay activate the fuel pump?
The PCM activates the ASD relay and the fuel pump relay at the exact same time and thru’ the same circuit (PNK wire). The PCM activates the ASD relay when the ignition switch is in the RUN or START position and the PCM senses engine RPMs (thru’ the crank and cam sensors).

2. Engine does not start. Another symptom of a faulty fuel pump relay is an engine that does not start. If the fuel pump relay fails the fuel pump will be left without power. The engine may still crank when the key is turned, however it will not be able to start due to lack of fuel.
What to do if your Jeep Cherokee stops running?
If the Jeep Cherokee has stopped running or will not start and you feel that the fuel pump has failed, then this is the proper way of diagnosing the problem before replacing an item that may not be needed. Starting from the basics, take off the fuel cap and listen closely for the fuel pump to come on as a helper turns on the ignition key.
How to test fuel pump in Jeep Cherokee?
Use a circuit tester and test the harness side for power as your helper turns the key on and off. Remember that there will be power for only 2 seconds, so have your helper cycle the key on and off as you check the terminals, allowing 5 seconds between cycling for the computer to reset.
Is the Jeep Grand Cherokee fuel pump relay bad?
The relay installed in the recall F09 is garbage. The symptoms started happening again in my 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee about 4 years later. Starting was very unreliable and intermittent.
2. Engine does not start. Another symptom of a faulty fuel pump relay is an engine that does not start. If the fuel pump relay fails the fuel pump will be left without power. The engine may still crank when the key is turned, however it will not be able to start due to lack of fuel.
What to do if your fuel pump doesn’t turn over?
If it doesn’t turn over, it isn’t the fuel pump relay. There is a starter relay, which is available at NAPA. However you may need to do some troubleshooting before swapping parts. I think I swapped my starter relay with one for a rarely used accessory to diagnose it.
