No. The diagram is just showing the internal connections on the relay
panel - those terminals are probably intended for use with a different
vehicle and/or engine, and definitely with a different relay.


Based on the small section of the diagram shown, I'd guess that is the
load reduction relay. Terminal 30 is battery +. The ECU brings terminal
5/86a high to remove power from unnecessary components during cranking,
so the starter gets more power.
