Circuit Description

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Battery voltage is applied at all times from the positive battery terminal to the ignition switch and the normally open start relay contacts. When the ignition switch is turned to START and the transaxle range switch (automatic transaxle) is in the P/N position, or the ignition lock switch (manual transaxle) is closed, battery voltage is applied through the fusible link to the start relay coils, and then the coil is energized.

Battery voltage is applied to the starter solenoid through the starter relay closed contacts, and the start motor engages to start the engine. The ETACM controls the starting system through the burglar alarm relay coil (with burglar alarm).
