Esteem GLX Sedan Plus L4-1.8L (1999)
Starter Motor: Description and Operation
Starting Motor Circuit
-
The magnetic switch coils are magnetized when the ignition switch is closed.
-
The resulting plunger and pinion drive lever movement causes the pinion to engage the engine flywheel gear and the magnetic switch main
contacts to close, and cranking takes place.
-
When the engine starts, the pinion over-running clutch protects the armature from excessive speed until the switch is opened, at which time the
return spring causes the pinion to disengage.
