Kia Sportage: Starting System / Description and operation
The starting system includes the battery, starter, solenoid switch, ignition
switch, inhibitor switch (A/T), clutch pedal switch (M/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.
The contacts close 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.
