Circuit Description

A/T
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, transaxle range switch is in the P/N position and the burglar alarm relay contact closed (controlled by ETACM), battery voltage is applied to the start relay coils. The start relay coils energize, the start relay contacts close, and battery voltage is applied to the start motor. The motor engages to start the engine.

M/T
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, the starter clutch pedal position switch is closed, and the burglar alarm relay contact closed (controlled by ETACM), battery voltage is applied to the start relay coils. The start relay coils energize, the start relay contacts close, and battery voltage is applied to the start motor. The motor engages to start the engine.
