Out of the frying pan, into the fire. Haynes and Chilton's are both
garbage. You need to get a *factory* service manual. They are easily
available new from the dealer parts counter, or used from numerous sources
listed on hemmings.com or on ebay.

The computer cannot "ground the ASD relay" as such. It completes or breaks
the ASD relay trigger circuit (across terminals 85 and 86 of the ASD
relay) to turn the relay on and off.

If that's the case, does that mean I need to get another one? Which

This is one of the reasons you need the factory service manual! The ASD
relay is the frontmost one.

But you're probably going to wind up doing so, based on what you've posted
here.
