Starting System

NOTE:
A = Hardwired









OPERATION
The starter solenoid is energized by the BJB (battery junction box) on receipt of a signal from the ECM (engine control module) when the ignition is in engine crank power mode 9. When engine cranking is requested, the ECM (engine control module) checks that a valid smart key code has been received before granting the crank request.

DESCRIPTION
The starter motor is located on the rear LH (left-hand) side of the cylinder block and protrudes through an aperture to drive the flywheel via a ring gear. The motor is secured to the cylinder block by 2 bolts.
The power for starter operation is supplied on a substantial single cable connected direct from the battery positive terminal. Incorporated in the cable between the battery and the starter motor/generator is a CAL3 starter fuse. The fuse is mounted adjacent the battery positive terminal and is integral with the cable assembly. In the event of fuse failure, the complete cable assembly must be replaced. The cable is connected to the solenoid via a copper threaded stud and secured with a nut. The solenoid power cable from the BJB (battery junction box) is located adjacent to the power cable and is also attached to the solenoid via a copper threaded stud and nut.
