Normal Operation
Under normal operation, the auxiliary junction box (AJB) supplies constant power to the starter relay on circuit 30-BB13 (RD/OG) through fuse 121 (30A). When the key is placed in the START position, with the vehicle in PARK or NEUTRAL, the TR sensor provides power on circuit 50S-BB12 (GY) and the instrument cluster provides ground on circuit 31S-BB12 (BK/YE). The coil of the relay is energized and sends power to the starter motor on circuit 50-BB10 (GY/BK).
