Manual Transmission

Circuit A0 from the battery is double crimped at the positive battery post. One branch of circuit A0 (battery positive cable) connects to the battery starter motor. The other A0 branch supplies voltage to the buss bar in the [1][2]Power Distribution Center (PDC).

Fuse 7 in the PDC supplies battery voltage to the contact side of the engine starter motor relay on circuit A4. When the coil side of the engine starter motor relay energizes, the contacts close and connect circuit A4 to circuit T40. Circuit T40 supplies battery voltage to the starter motor solenoid.


The ignition switch supplies battery voltage to the coil side of the starter motor relay on circuit A41 when the key is moved to the START position. Circuit Z12 provides ground for the coil side of the relay.

When the starter motor relay energizes and the contacts close, circuit T40 supplies battery voltage to the starter motor solenoid. Circuit A0 from the battery supplies voltage to the starter motor when the solenoid energizes.
