OPERATION
l
For models equipped with the M/T, the clutch
when the clutch pedal is depressed; when the
L
ignition switch is then switched to the “ST”
position, electricity flows to the starter relay and
the starter motor, the contact (magnetic switch)
of the starter is switched ON and the starter
motor is activated.
NOTE
If the ignition switch is switched to the “ST”
position without the clutch pedal being de-
pressed, electricity flows to the starter relay
(coil), the clutch pedal position switch (contacts)
and to ground, with the result that the contacts
of the starter relay are switched OFF, and,
because the power to the starter motor is
thereby interrupted, the starter motor is not
activated.
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
Check the starter (coil).
l
Check for poor contact at the battery terminals
and starter.
l Check Park/Neutral position switch.
l Check clutch pedal position switch.

l For models equipped with the A/T, when the

while the selector lever is at the “P” or “N”
position, the contact (magnetic switch) of the
starter is switched ON and the starter motor is
activated.
