1.2 Components
Starting System Components
The main components of the starting system are:
• battery,
• wiring,
• ignition switch,
• theft deterrent engine crank inhibitor (a function of the theft deterrent system),
• park / neutral and back-up switch (on vehicles with 4 speed automatic transmission),
• engine control module (ECM),
• start relay,
• solenoid switch, and
• starter motor.
Starter Motor and Solenoid Switch Components
Solenoid Switch
The solenoid switch is used to activate the DC motor and has two windings; the pull-in winding and the hold-in winding.
The pull-in winding has heavier wire and is grounded through the DC motor winding and brushes. The hold-in winding is
grounded through the solenoid casing.
Planetary Drive Train
The planetary drive train consists of an internally toothed ring gear and three planetary gear wheels, which rotate on
sleeve bearings on the planetary drive shaft. The ring gear is keyed into the drive-end housing and is made from
high-grade polyamide with mineral additives.
W hen the starter motor operates, the armature turns the planetary gears inside the fixed planetary ring gear. This drives
the planetary shaft at a reduced speed ratio which turns the drive assembly. A fork lever in the drive-end housing forces
the drive assembly forward to engage with the flexplate / flywheel ring gear on the engine and transmit cranking torque.
An internal clutch allows the drive assembly pinion gear to rotate freely when the engine starts. This prevents the
armature from being driven at excessive speed by the engine.
Armature
The armature shaft is supported at each end by oil absorbent, sintered metal bushes; one in the commutator end shield
and one in the planetary drive shaft. The front end of the armature has a gear profile. This meshes with the three
planetary gear wheels. These in turn, mesh with the internal teeth of the ring gear.
Brushes
A brush plate supports four commutator brushes. This plate is fixed to the commutator end shield with two retaining
screws. Two negative brushes are grounded to the pole housing. The two positive brushes are insulated from the pole
housing and connected to the solenoid switch M terminal, refer to Figure 6D1-2 – 1.

Sequence of Operation
1 W hen the ignition switch is turned to the START position, a signal is also sent to the ECM to request the engine to
crank.
• For automatic vehicles the transmission must be in either park (P) or neutral (N) for the ECM to allow
cranking to commence.
• The ECM will only allow cranking if the battery voltage is above the minimum battery voltage threshold value,
refer to 6C1-1 Engine Management – V6 – General Information for further information.
2 The ECM operates the start relay which provides power to the pull-in winding of the start solenoid.
3 Current flow to the pull-in winding develops powerful magnetism which pulls in the solenoid switch plunger.
4 The plunger closes the switch contacts connecting battery voltage to the DC motor and pivots the fork lever to engage the drive assembly to the flexplate / flywheel ring gear. Closing the solenoid switch contacts deactivates the
pull-in winding, the hold-in winding remains active.
5 W ith the solenoid switch contacts closed, current flows from the battery through the DC motor, which rotates the armature at high speed and provides cranking torque.

Engine Compartment Relay And Fuse Panel


Figure 6D1-2 – 4

1 Remove fuses SBF5 and SBF9 from the engine compartment fuse panel to disable the ignition and prevent the engine from starting, refer to 8A Electrical Body and Chassis.
2 Chock the wheels.
3 For vehicles fitted with automatic transmission ensure the transmission is in P (park) or N (neutral) and the hand brake is applied.
4 Ensure the engine is at room temperature or normal operating temperature and in good working order.
Bad Connection Test
A bad connection appears as a voltage reading when the multimeter leads are connected to two different positive (or
negative) connections.
1 Using a multimeter set to measure voltage, connect the multimeter’s positive lead to the positive battery post.
2 Connect the multimeter’s negative lead to the starter motor M terminal.
3 Record the voltage that displayed during cranking.
4 Repeat this with the multimeter’s negative lead connected to the solenoid switch connector P – 4 pin B (circuit 1).
5 Also repeat this connecting the multimeter’s negative lead to the battery cable strands.
6 Restore all connections that show a significant resistance (voltage reading).

9.13 DTC P0500, P0502 or P0503 – Vehicle
Speed Sensor Signal Malfunction
DTC Descriptors
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC’s:
• DTC P0500 – Vehicle speed sensor open circuit, short circuit to battery voltage, short circuit to ground, or
undefined error
• DTC P0502 – Vehicle speed sensor sensor low voltage
• DTC P0503 – Vehicle speed sensor intermittant fault
Circuit Description
The PIM applies the ground to the vehicle speed sensor (VSS) low reference circuit.
The VSS in conjunction with the 40X reluctor wheel generates an AC signal voltage. The amplitude and frequency of the
signal generated is proportional to the vehicle speed. The PIM uses this signal from the VSS signal circuit to determine
the vehicle speed.
A VSS DTC sets if the PIM detects a fault condition in the VSS signal circuit.
Conditions for Running the DTC
DTC P0500
Runs continuously once the following condition is met:
• The ignition is on and the vehicle is stationary.
DTC P0502
Runs continuously once the following condition is met:
• The first time the ignition is on and the vehicle starts to move from the stationary position.
DTC P0503
Runs continuously once the following condition is met:
• The ignition is on and the vehicle is mobile.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
DTC P0500
W hen the PIM reads back the 15 consecutive readings within 0.5 seconds.
DTC P0502
If the reading is >9.1 Km/Hr the DTC will be set.
DTC P0503
The DTC will set when the sensor detects an occurance of 15 times within 0.5 seconds.
Conditions for Clearing DTC
The DTC’s will clear on the next ignition cycle.
Additional Information
• Refer to 7B1_Manual Transmission.

• For an intermittent fault condition, refer to Intermittent Fault Conditions in this Section.
• The VSS in conjunction with the 40X reluctor wheel generates an AC signal voltage. The amplitude and frequency
of the signal generated is proportional to the vehicle speed. The PIM uses this signal from the VSS signal circuit to
determine the vehicle speed.
• Since fault condition in a wiring connector may trigger DTCs, always test the connectors related to this diagnostic
procedure for shorted terminals or poor wiring connection before replacing any component. Refer to 8A Electrical -
Body and Chassis for information on electrical fault diagnosis.
• To assist diagnosis, refer to 6 W iring Diagram and Connector Chart in this Section, for the system wiring diagram
and connector charts.
Test Description
The following numbers refer to the step numbers in the diagnostic table:
3 The PIM supplies 2.5 V to signal circuit of the VSS circuit to reduce the Electro Magnetic interference (EMI). If the voltage is not within range, this indicates there is an PIM fault or a PIM circuit fault condition.
4 The PIM supplies 2.5 V to low reference circuit of the VSS circuit to reduce the Electro Magnetic interference (EMI). If the voltage is not within range, this indicates there is a PIM fault or a PIM circuit fault condition.
