For a compression test on a Digifant pull the ECU relay. This will disable the ignition, injectors, and fuel pump. To avoid having to figure out which of the 2 is which, mark and pull both. The relay with the most wires and the only one with brown wires is the ECU relay if you want to pull just one. The Bentley diagrams have errors for this area of the wiring on some years.
