Circuit Description

Moving the ignition switch to the CRANK position closes the circuit to both the pull-in and hold-in windings. The transmission range switch or the clutch pedal position (CPP) switch are in series with, and must be closed, in order for voltage to reach the starter solenoid S terminal. Moving the ignition switch to the CRANK position also sends a 12 V signal to the PCM.
