It has to do with the tranny shifting. It also has about 4 different names - can't remember what Ford calls it but the parts catalog isn't listed the same as the label on the relay box.
I don't remember off the top of my head what exactly it does but when mine went out on a 90 f250 it made the tranny go into the emergency mode which makes it shift really strange and only runs in a few gears. Pulled it out and cleaned the contacts and it has worked ever since.
An ECC relay is a device that helps the transmission of a car shift. If this ever starts acting up, you can pull it out and clean all the contacts off and it will work better.
It is the ECC relay! It is the ECC relay!
There are testing procedures for relays and ohm readings but it differs for all makes. The easiest way is to swap out an identical relay on the vehicle and check to see if the pump comes on. I know that on Ford Rangers there are 3 that are the same ECC, fuel pump, and AC. Since I knew that the ac worked I moved the relay over to the fuel pump and got no response still, so I moved it over to the ECC and both it and the fuel pump worked so that told me that the ecc relay was bad and it in turn triggered the fuel pump relay to activate in series.
ECC relay is in a box under the hood on the drivers side. open the lid and look at the inside of the cover and there will be a diagram of where each relay is located.

Check the fuel pump relay and the ecc relay either or both may be bad
The power is supplied by the EEC relay, which supplies power to the fuel pump relay. The PCM provides the grounds for each of them. PCM gives ground to the EEC relay anytime the key is on, and to the fuel pump relay for about two seconds when the key is turned on, and then constantly if it sees a RPM signal.
ECC cost more but is more reliable than non-ECC memory. TRUE
Unplug the ECC fuse. If the fuse does not blow, then hook up the ECC. If the fuse blows then the ECC will need to be replaced.
ECC - eikaiwa - was created in 1962.
The fuel relay and the ecc relay are located under the hood on the drivers side,right in front of the master cylinder,underneth a plastic shield,also under this plastic piece is the testing interface for the (trouble codes)
ecc stands for ERP Central Component.
