• When the selector lever is in the P or N position, power is supplied to starter relay and starter control relay by
the transmission range switch. The BCM and IPDM E/R (C PU) will detect the selector lever position by the
input signal.
• When the starter operating condition is met, the IPDM E/R will turn the starter control relay ON by starter
control relay control signal.
• When engine cranking condition is met, the BCM turns ON the starter relay by starter control relay signal.
• Then battery power is supplied to starter motor (“S” terminal) through the starter control relay and starter
relay.
