・Engine Start Circuit

(1)Starter Switch: "ON → START" operation.

The electric current from C of starter switch is sent to coil of starter relay through neutral switch of the shift lever, so the starter relay is closed. At the same time, the positive current from battery relay runs through the starter relay to the starter motor to start the starter motor.

(2)Starter Switch "ON → START" operation while the engine is running

When the engine is running, as the terminal L on the alternator is not grounded (alternator monitor light turned off) the current does not go to the coil of the starter relay, so the starter relay is in open condition. Therefore, the starter motor is not activated.

・Engine Stop Circuit

(1)Starter Switch "ON"

The positive current from the fuse box is sent to the coil of engine stop solenoid, and the engine is running.

(2)Starter Switch "OFF"

The current from fuse box to the engine stop solenoid is cut off, and engine is stopped.
