GENERAL INFORMATION
The starting system includes the battery, starter motor, solenoid switch, ignition switch, transaxle range switch (A/T only), connection wires, and the battery cables.

When the ignition key is turned to the start position, current flows and energizes the coil of the starter motor's solenoid When this happens, the solenoid plunger and the 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.
