- ECM
Component Description
| Component part | Description |
| Starter motor | The starter motor plunger closes and the motor is supplied with battery power, which in turn cranks the engine, when the S terminal is supplied with electric power. |
| Transmission range switch | Supplies power to the starter relay and starter control relay (inside IPDM E/R) when the selector lever is shifted into the P or N position. |
| IPDM E/R | CPU inside IPDM E/R operates the starter relay when the ignition switch is in the start position. |
| Clutch interlock switch (M/T Models) | Clutch interlock switch supplies power to the coil side of the starter when the clutch pedal is depressed to crank the engine. |
| ECM | ECM controls the starter relay inside the IPDM E/R. |
STARTING SYSTEM (WITHOUT INTELLIGENT KEY)
System Diagram
System Description
The starter motor plunger closes and provides a closed circuit between the battery and the starter motor. The starter motor is grounded to the cylinder block. With power and ground supplied, the starter motor operates.

STARTING SYSTEM (WITHOUT INTELLIGENT KEY) : System Description
CVT MODELS
- When the selector lever is in the P or N position, power is supplied to starter control relay by the transmission range switch. The IPDM E/R (CPU) detects selector lever P/N condition by the inputted signal.
- When engine cranking condition is satisfied, then battery power is supplied to starter motor (“S” terminal) through starter control relay.
M/T MODELS
When the clutch pedal is depressed, battery power is supplied to starter motor (“S” terminal).

Intermittent Incident
DESCRIPTION
Sometimes the symptom is not present when the vehicle is brought in for
service. If possible, re-create the
conditions present at the time of the incident. Doing so may help avoid a No
Trouble Found Diagnosis. The fol-
lowing section illustrates ways to simulate the conditions/env ...
Radio
With the ignition placed in the ACC or ON position,
press the PWR (power)/VOL (volume) knob
to turn the radio on. If you listen to the radio with
the engine not running, the ignition should be
placed in the ACC position.
Radio reception is affected by station signal
strength, distance from r ...
