Starting system
Starting system |
Current is supplied from battery 1 to Maxi fuse 2 and ignition switch 20 via Maxi fuse 3.
Current is also supplied direct to terminal 30 on starter motor 4.
When the ignition switch is turned to the Start position, starter relay 517 begins to operate, closing the circuit to the starter motor solenoid, terminal 50.
When current is supplied to both terminals, the starter motor begins to rotate.
Automatic transmission |
Cars with automatic transmission are equipped with starting interlock contacts 77 which prevent the engine from being started when the selector lever is in position 1, 2, 3, D or R.
Anti-theft alarm |
On cars with an anti-theft alarm, current is supplied from the ignition switch via the anti-theft alarm control module to prevent the car being started when the alarm is activated.
