General Information

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

When the ignition key is turned to the start position, current flows and energizes the starter motor's solenoid coil. The solenoid plunger and clutch shift lever are activated, and the clutch pinion engages the ring gear. The contacts close and the starter motor cranks.

In order to prevent damage caused by excessive rotation of the starter armature when the engine starts, the clutch pinion gear overruns.




CHECK CLUTCH PEDAL (M/T)
Check that pedal height, pedal freeplay and clutch pedal clevis pin play are correct. (Refer to clutch group)




CHECK STARTER RELAY
Remove the starter relay and check continuity between the terminals. If the continuity is not as specified, replace the relay.




CHECK IGNITION LOCK SWITCH
Remove the ignition lock switch and check continuity between the terminals. If the continuity is not as specified, replace the switch.
