What is PGM-FI main relay on Honda Accord?
The PGM-Fl main relay actually contains two individual relays. This relay is located at the left side (LHD) or right side (RHD) of the cowl. One relay is energized whenever the ignition is on which supplies the battery voltage to the ECM, power to the fuel injectors, and power for the second relay.

How does PGM-FI work?
The PGM-FI system relies on a piezoelectric sensor to indirectly measure the air quantity, and interprets the data using performance maps. Fuel is injected intermittently into the inlet ports. The PGM-FI also has a trailing throttle fuel cutoff and a self-diagnosis system.
What does the main relay control on a Honda?
The relay works as a conductor in between a low amperage circuit, allowing it to turn a higher amperage circuit on or off. The main relay in a vehicle controls the fuel pump and supplies power to the injectors.
