With Button Start

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

The battery voltage is always supplied by a battery B+ terminal to the start solenoid, start relay of E/R Fuse & Relay Box.

Push the ENGINE START STOP BUTTON to start engine with the shift lever into the P or N position (P/N switch is ON) and the brake pedal depressed.

PDM receives start/stop button switch signal and sends the signal through the START 7.5A fuse in IPM to the PCM. Base on this signal, start relay coil (-) is grounded by PCM.

As the start relay coil (-) is grounded by PCM, the start relay is operated, and the current applied to the start motor ST terminal by the start relay switch terminal magnetizes the solenoid so that when the magnetic switch and lever are pulled, the pinion gear and the ring gear are geared and the magnetic switch contact is closed so that the B+ high current rotates the motor to drive the engine.

After the engine starts operating, the pinion gear clutch is over-run to prevent damage from excessive revolutions of armature.
