If you're experiencing an issue with the car unexpectedly shutting down, it's likely due to a problem within this system, rather than a single faulty relay. Possible causes include:
* Faulty PCM: The main computer controlling the engine.
* Sensor problems: A failing sensor (like the crankshaft position sensor) can send incorrect information to the PCM, leading to shutdown.
* Electrical problems: Wiring issues, short circuits, or problems within the ignition system.
* Fuel system issues: Problems with the fuel pump, fuel filter, or fuel injectors.
To diagnose the problem, you'll need to have the vehicle scanned with a diagnostic tool that can read the PCM's trouble codes (OBD-II scanner). A qualified mechanic can interpret these codes and pinpoint the cause of the shutdown. Trying to find a specific "auto shutdown relay" is unlikely to be productive.
