The starting system uses battery power
and an electric motor to turn the engine
crankshaft for engine starting

Basic Starting System
q The ignition switch energizes the
solenoid
q The solenoid energizes the starting
motor

Components
q Battery
m source of energy
q Ignition switch
m allows driver to control operation
q Solenoid
m high current relay (switch)
q Starting motor
m high torque electric motor

Starting System
Energized
q With the ignition key in the “start”
position, current flows through the
solenoid coil
q Magnetism closes the solenoid contacts,
connecting the battery to the starting
motor
q The motor turns the flywheel ring gear

Starting System
De-energized
q With the ignition key released to the “run”
position, no current flows to the solenoid
coil
q The solenoid contacts open, the starter
stops turning, and the starter gear moves
away from the flywheel

Starting Motor
Fundamentals
q Converts electrical energy from the
battery to mechanical energy to crank
the engine
q Produces a turning force through the
interaction of magnetic fields inside the
motor assembly

© Goodheart-Willcox Co., Inc. Permission granted to reproduce for educational use only
Magnetic Field Action

q Made up of invisible lines of force


q Since like charges (fields) repel each
other and unlike charges (fields) attract
each other, magnetic fields can
produce motion
