• Clutch Pedal Position Switch with manual
transmissions
• Wiring harness
• Battery
• Starter motor with an integral solenoid
These components form two separate circuits. A
high amperage circuit that feeds the starter motor up
to 300+ amps, and a control circuit that operates on
less than 20 amps.
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
BOSCH AND MELCO STARTERS
The Bosch and Melco are permanent magnet
starter motors. A planetary gear train transmits
power between starter motor and pinion shaft. The
fields have six permanent magnets. The Bosch is
used on 2.0L engines and Melco is used on 2.5L
engines.
NIPPONDENSO STARTER
The Nippondenso is a reduction gear-field coil
starter motor and is available on 2.4L engine.
SUPPLY CIRCUIT AND CONTROL CIRCUIT
The starter system consists of two separate cir-
cuits:
• A high amperage supply to feed the starter
motor.
• A low amperage circuit to control the starter
solenoid.
