Starter Circuit

Battery voltage is applied to terminal "B" of starter solenoid at all times. See Figure. When the ignition is turned to START position, battery voltage is sent through either a clutch pedal position switch (M/T) or transmission range switch (A/T) to terminal "S" of starter solenoid. This energizes the solenoid, applying voltage to starter motor, engaging starter drive gear to flywheel and cranking engine.

Vehicles equipped with DOHC engine and an A/T, use a gear reduction starter. All other vehicles are equipped with conventional starters.
