Hello,

The relay is located under the driver side dash (see diagram below).
The code P0885 can get triggered due to a bad relay, wiring issue or it could also be the TCM (transmission control module).

I have attached the troubleshooting guide for the code below. Follow those steps as it can help you determine the issue.

Let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
