Power Supply Routing

June 26, 2007

The main relay provides power for the ECU, several engine sensors and triggers the fuel pump on both the STi and RS. 

STi main relay wires: pg. E/G(ST)-03

  1. Backup power supply. Goes to ECU plug B135 pin B19 and B61->F44 fuse box. Common with 5 and 6. Also to fuel pump relay. Switch off 10-13v, Switch on 10-13V, Engine running 13-14V.
  2. Only to ECU plug B137 D17. Other end of ECU backup power supply circuit.
  3. Control unit power supply. ECU plug B135 pins B5 & B6. Goes to several valves and sensors and electric throttle relay. Switch off 0V, Switch on 10-13V, running 13-14V.
  4. To front an rear O2 sensors (bulkhead connectors B3 & B18)
  5. Connects to 1.
  6. Connects to 1 after B61. Also to data link connector.

RS main relay wires: pg. 36 Wiring

  1. Ground.
  2. ECU B135 pin B19. “Self-shutoff” control.
  3. Control unit power supply. ECU plug B136 pins C1 & C2. Same as STi 3.
  4. To front and rear o2 sensors (engine connectors E24 & E25). Same as STi 4.
  5. To pin To fuse box B61/F44 and ECU B136 pin C9 – Backup power supply. Same voltages as STi pin 1.
  6. To pin 5

Pins 1 and 2 control the relay. The voltages are reversed between these pins on the
RS and STi and pin 1 on the RS goes to ground instead of back to the ECU.

STi relay pin 1 will tap RS ECU wire B136 pin C9 which goes to fuse box via B61/F44 and on to the positive battery terminal. This wire also goes to STi ECU plug B135 pin B19.

pin 2 will go to the STi harness -> ECU.
pin 3 to the STi harness -> sensors and stuff.
pin 4 to the STi harness -> Oxygen sensors
pins 5 & 6 connect with pin 1.

 So, I will use the STi main relay and leave all the wires intact except for pin 1. That will splice into the RS ECU wire B136 pin 9 (which also goes to STi ECU B135 pin 19).

I’ve got every item from the remaining list except one of the O2 sensors and an old impreza ECU arrived today.
