Your an engineer right? Hmm, I don't speak engineer lingo so ill just
have to splain it in me own verbage. 
Basically what it does is shuts off everything that's not needed to start
the car. Keeps electrical power draw to a minimum so it can crank over
and fire up. When you turn the key to start the headlights go off, fan
and whatever else is on gets turned off for the starting function. Load
reduction relay. Kind of explains itself after you understand what it
does. Sokay now? 

Say, your web page diagram never did work right for me. (And for others
that I asked about but don't worry, you didn't reply to me then either.)
