I can try to locate some other diagrams; we just don't have that van listed on all data in the US. I'll try to see what feeds power to that Diode, it's obviously an ignition feed, and Ford always puts their fly back diodes in series with their main relays. Most other manufacturers have them or a resistor built into the relay to prevent the high voltage spike that occurs when the relay is turned off. But if the relay control coil shorted it would take that diode out pretty fast, I actually had a Ford fuel pump relay right here and it read 74 ohms across the 2 control terminals, so 12-volts / 74 gives about 162ma of current flow. So, compare the relay in question with the PCM relay and see what they read just to be sure. You don't want to burn out an ECM driver, let us know what you find. And with the diode out on the bench it should read a resistance in one direction but not the other. So, it will only allow current flow in one direction.
Do you have power at pin 16 of the data link connector? And ground on pins 4 and 5?
Trying to find information on this van is tough, I found some info stating that the first generation Transit Connect's body and chassis platform are similar to the North American Ford Focus. So I dont know if that includes the wiring colors or not. But if you dont have any communication with the pcm, Im thinking its not powering up at all. I know you have power at the pcm power relay, but that circuit is powered up all the time and not by the ignition switch. Both sides of the pcm relay have power all the time.
So the big indicator here will be, does the Check Engine light come on with the key On or cranking? I think we need to check the power feeds to the pcm from the ignition switch to begin with if the check engine light does not come on.
Another check you can do, is with the key On, you can check a 3 wire sensor for the 5volt Reference, if the 5vRef is missing, the pcm is not powered up or a sensor is shorted out pulling the 5vRef down. This can cause a no start.
