System DescriptionNJSC0004M/T MODELSNJSC0004S01Power is supplied at all times
through 40A fusible link (letterB, located in the fuse and fusible link box)
to ignition switch terminal 1.
With the ignition switch in START position, power is supplied
from ignition switch terminal 5
to smart entrance control unit terminal 58
from smart entrance control unit terminal 59
to starter motor harness connector terminal 1.
The starter motor plunger closes and provides a closed circuit between thebattery and starter motor. The
starter motor is grounded to the engine block. With power and ground supplied, cranking occurs and the engine
starts.
A/T MODELSNJSC0004S02Power is supplied at all times
through 40A fusible link (letterB, located in the fuse and fusible link box)
to ignition switch terminal 1.
With the ignition switch in the START position, power is supplied
from ignition switch terminal 5
to park/neutral position relay terminal 5.
With the ignition switch ON or START position, power is supplied
through 10A fuse [No. 20, located in the fuse block (J/B)]
to park/neutral position (PNP) relay terminal 1.
With the selector lever in the P or N position, ground is supplied
to park/neutral position relay terminal 2 through the park/neutral position switch
to smart entrance control unit terminal 59
from smart entrance control unit terminal 58
from body grounds, F9 and F10.
Then park/neutral position relay is energized and power is supplied
from park/neutral position relay terminal 3
to starter motor harness connector terminal 1.
The starter motor plunger closes and provides a closed circuit between thebattery and starter motor. The
starter motor is grounded to the engine block. With power and ground supplied, cranking occurs and the engine
starts.
