STARTING SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION
E1CE0D47
The starting system includes the battery, starter, solenoid
switch, ignition switch, inhibitor switch (A/T), ignition lock
switch, connection wires and the battery cable.
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.

NOTE
The battery must be in good condition and fully
charged.
1.
Remove the fuel pump relay(A) from the fuse box.
2.
With the shift lever in N or P (A/T) or clutch pedal
pressed (M/T), turn the ignition switch to "START"
If the starter normally cranks the engine, starting sys-
tem is OK. If the starter will not crank the engine at
all, go to next step.
If it won’t disengage from the ring gear when you re-
lease key, check for the following until you find the
cause.
• Solenoid plunger and switch malfunction.
• Dirty pinion gear or damaged overrunning clutch.
3.
Check the battery condition. Check electrical connec-
tions at the battery, battery negative cable connected
to the body, engine ground cables, and the starter for
looseness and corrosion. Then try starting the engine
again.
If the starter cranks normally the engine, repairing the
loose connection repaired the problem. The starting
system is now OK.
If the starter still does not crank the engine, go to next
step.
4.
Disconnect the connector from the S-terminal of so-
lenoid. Connect a jumper wire from the B-terminal of
solenoid to the S-terminal of solenoid.
If the starter cranks the engine, go to next step.
If the starter still does not crank the engine, remove
the starter, and repair or replace as necessary.
5.
Check the following items in the order listed until you
find the open circuit.
• Check the wire and connectors between the
driver’s under-dash fuse/relay box and the igni-
tion switch, and between the driver’s under-dash
fuse/relay box and the starter.
• Check the ignition switch (Refer to BE group -
ignition system)
• Check the transaxle range switch connector or
ignition lock switch connector.
• Inspect the starter relay.
