Hyundai Elantra HD: Description and Operation
Description
The starting system includes the battery, starter motor, solenoid switch,
ignition switch, inhibitor switch(A/T), ignition lock switch, connection wires
and the battery cable.
When the ignition key is turned to the start position, current flows and
energizes the starter motor's solenoid coil.
The solenoid plunger and clutch shift lever are activated, and the clutch
pinion engages the ring gear and the starter motor cranks. In order to prevent
damage caused by excessive rotation of the starter armature when the engine
starts, the clutch pinion gear overruns.
