A/T Models

A/T MODELS
Power is supplied at all times:
- through 40 A fusible link (letter [e], located in the fuse and fusible link box)
- to ignition switch terminal (B).
With the ignition switch in the START position, power is supplied:
- through terminal (ST) of the ignition switch
- to park/neutral position (PNP) relay terminal (5).

For models with theft warning system
With the ignition switch in the ON or START position, power is supplied:
- through 7.5 A fuse [No. [5], located in the fuse block (J/B)]
- to theft warning relay terminal (2).
With the ignition switch in the ON or START position, power is supplied:
- through 10 A fuse [No.[12], located in the fuse block (J/B)]
- to PNP switch terminal (1).
With the selector lever in the P or N position, power is supplied:
- from PNP switch terminal (2)
- to PNP relay terminal (2).
If the theft warning system is triggered, terminal (1) of the theft warning relay is grounded through terminal (32) of the smart entrance control unit and ground to the PNP relay is interrupted.
When the theft warning system is not operating, ground is supplied:
- from theft warning relay terminal (3)
- through theft warning relay terminal (4)
- to PNP relay terminal (1).

For models without theft warning system
With the ignition switch in the ON or START position, power is supplied:
- through 10 A fuse [No.[12], located in the fuse block (J/B)]
- to PNP switch terminal (1)
With the selector lever in the P or N position, power is supplied:
- from PNP switch terminal (2)
- to PNP relay terminal (2).
Ground is supplied to PNP relay terminal (1) through body grounds (E12) and (E54).
The PNP relay is energized and power is supplied:
- from terminal (3) of the PNP relay
- to terminal (1) of the starter motor windings.
The starter motor plunger closes and provides a closed circuit between the battery and the starter motor. The starter motor is grounded to the engine block. With power and ground supplied, cranking occurs and the engine starts.

THEFT WARNING SYSTEM
The theft warning system will interrupt ground to clutch interlock relay (M/T models) or PNP relay (A/T models) if the system is triggered. The starter motor will then not crank, and the engine will not start. Refer to "THEFT WARNING SYSTEM".
