Default ECM/PCM Power Relay Control Circuit

My malfunction indicator light came on the other day, took it to the parts store and got the error code P0685. The light has been reset since I went (Sunday) and hasn't come back on yet. Should I wait for the light to come back on before I do anything? Please help

Thanks. It's back on again. How difficult is it to replace an ecm relay? Is this part something I can only get from a dealer?

It is not hard to replace the ecm . Go to hondaautomotiveparts.com and put your car info in. go to control unit cabin. Make sure it is the relay or ecm/pcm

I really appreciate your help, acmech. I've confirmed that it is for sure the ecm/pcm relay and I've ordered 2 of them. If you haven't figured it out, I'm no mechanic...the most I can do is change the oil and filter on my own. Can you tell me where the ecm/pcm relay goes? I looked at the diagram but couldn't figure it out.

Here's what I was looking at, illst #48:
