Circuit Description

Moving the ignition switch to the CRANK position closes the circuit to both the pull-in and hold-in windings. The park/neutral position (PNP) switch or the clutch pedal position (CPP) switch are in series with the starter relay coil, and must be closed, in order for the relay to energize and for voltage reach the starter solenoid S terminal. Moving the ignition switch to the CRANK position also sends a 12 V signal to the PCM.
