Starter Circuit

The starting system includes the battery, starter motor, solenoid switch, ignition switch, inhibitor switch (A/T only), connection wires and the battery cables. 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.

Models equipped with DOHC and A/T use a gear reduction starter. All other models use a conventional starter.
