Starter Control Function

Models 202, 203, 208, 210:

Model 170:

The start control interrupts the circuit (circuit 50) to the solenoid switch of the starter after the engine start speed is reached.

The solenoid switch of the starter is operated not through the ignition/start switch but, in position P or N, through the starter relay by the engine control module.
The voltage for the starter relay (coil) is supplied through circuit 87. The starter relay is operated by the engine control module through ground.

An automatic start control is performed by the engine control module when the ignition/start switch is pressed into the start position. Once the engine start speed of 400 to 700 rpm is reached, the engine control module interrupts the ground actuation to the starter relay and thus the start operation. Once the start operation has commenced, switching off circuit 50 has no effect at the ignition/start switch. The starter rotates until the specified start speed is reached or at 80 °C engine temperature for about 5 seconds , when the engine is cold for up to 10 seconds.
