Starting System Operation

Starter relay operation

A feed from the battery positive terminal (C192-2) is connected to the engine compartment fuse box (C632-1) on a red wire. Current passes through fuse link 6 and fuse link 3 of the engine compartment fuse box which are connected in series. Fuse link 3 (C571-2) is connected to the ignition switch (C028-3) by a brown and red wire.

When the starter switch is moved to the crank position III, a feed flows from the ignition switch (C028-4) on a white and red wire to the passenger compartment fuse box (C588-4) and through Fuse 5. The feed passes from the fuse box (C581-8) on a white and red wire to the starter relay (C060-4). The feed passes through the starter relay, which energizes. The earth path from the starter relay coil (C060-6) is via the Central Control Unit (CCU) (C429-15) on a black and yellow wire. When the CCU determines that starter operation is allowed, the earth path is completed and the starter relay energizes.
