SYSTEM CIRCUIT
OPERATION
When the ignition switch is turned to START, current flows from terminal 50 to the coil of the solenoid and
the plunger is pulled by the magnetic force of the coil. When the plunger is pulled \
to the left as shown above,
the contact plate of the plunger allows current from the battery to flow di\
rectly from terminal 30 to the motor, and
the starter rotates. When the engine is running and the ignition switch is returned to ON, the ma\
gnetic force of the coil disappears
and the contact plate of the plunger is returned to its original position by the return spring. Battery voltage no
longer flows from terminal 30, so the motor stops.
