Relief 1 Solenoid, what does it do?

As the title says, anyone know it's purpose? TIA.

Looking at the vacuum hose diagram, it looks like the Relief 1 Solenoid controls the Air Control Valve. Here's what the shop manual has to say about that valve:

SECONDARY AIR INJECTION SYSTEM

System consists of air pump (with magnetic clutch), 2 check valves, air control valve, switching solenoid valve, relief solenoid valve, split air solenoid valve and port air solenoid. Air injection system supplies air into exhaust system to help control exhaust emissions.

Thanks for the info, at least I know that's not the source of my boost problems now.
