Starting System: Description and Operation
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTIONBattery 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 starter clutch pedal position switch (Manual transaxle) is closed, battery voltage is applied through Fusible Link IGN to the start relay coils, and then the coil is energized.
Battery voltage is applied to the start solenoid through the start relay contacts and the start motor engages to start the engine.
