Starting System: Description and Operation

Power is supplied at all times
^ to ignition switch terminal 1

With the ignition switch in the ON or START position, power is supplied through 1OA fuse [No. 18, located in the fuse block (J/B)]
^ to theft warning relay terminal 3.

Also, with the ignition switch in the START position, power is supplied
^ from ignition switch terminal 5
^ to inhibitor relay terminal 6.

If the theft warning system is not triggered, power is supplied
^ through theft warning relay terminal 4
^ to inhibitor relay terminal 1.

With the selector lever in the P or N position, ground is supplied
^ to inhibitor relay terminal 2 through the inhibitor switch.

Then inhibitor relay is energized and power is supplied
^ from inhibitor relay ferminal 7
^ to terminal 2 of the starter motor windings.

The starter motor plunger closes and provides a closed circuit between the battery and starter motor. The starter motor is grounded to the engine block. With power and ground supplied, cranking occurs and the engine starts.
