Hi Gonzo77,
The main function of the ASD is to provide battery voltage to the fuel injectors, generator, ignition ciol(s) and heater on upstream and downstream O2 sensors.
PCM monitors crankshaft and camshaft sensors input signals to determine engine speed and ignition timing.
If input signals are recieved, PCM grounds the coil circuit of the relay to provide contact to deliver power supply.
If signals are not received, the PCM will not complete the circuit for power supply.
If ASD relay is energized but no 12 v input signal is recieved by the PCM, a DTC will be stored in PCM.
What you are experiencing should be shorting of a component related to the RUN fuse.
