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.
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)
How does the ASD work on a jeep?
The system and how it works. The ASD has engine startup logic that is unique to JEEPs. You must crank with in seconds or the key on, is ignored by many jeeps. You crank the engine, and the above list of logic checks, must not fail, during the start event or it cuts the ASD.
Is the ASD relay the same as the EFI?
ONLY! (all EFI cars have this, but is executed in different ways) EFI means Electronically Fuel Injected ( unlike mechanical injection) On most cars the ASD is just software in the ECU/PCM. On jeeps its both, Software and Hardware, the ASD relay. (to me, they are all the same)

Is the starter relay the same on a Jeep Wrangler?
The 5 relays in the box are all the same part number, I’ve swapped out the horn and the ASD relays with the starter relay and nothing changes. Horn still works with the other relay, etc. The control side of the starter relay is just never getting grounded, which is controlled by the PCM.
How do you connect a ASD relay terminal 85?
(5) Connect one end of a jumper wire (16 gauge or smaller) to relay terminal 85. Connect the other end of the jumper wire to the ground side of a 12 volt power source. (6) Connect one end of another jumper wire (16 gauge or smaller) to the power side of the 12 volt power source.
Where is the ASD relay on a jeep?
If you see battery voltage, check for ground on pin 85 in the relay socket. The PCM provides ground to the starter relay control coil AFTER it determines the anti-theft system has passed the authentication test. Remove the ASD relay from the power distribution center in the engine compartment.
How does the starter relay control coil work?
The PCM provides ground to the starter relay control coil AFTER it determines the anti-theft system has passed the authentication test. If the ASD is working properly, you should see battery power at the ASD terminal at the PCM. Remove the CMP and CKP electrical connectors.
Where is the ground on a jeep starter?
If you see battery voltage, check for ground on pin 85 in the relay socket. The PCM provides ground to the starter relay control coil AFTER it determines the anti-theft system has passed the authentication test.
