 OBJECTIVES
At the end of the lesson the learners are expected to:
1. Identify starter motor parts.
2. Explain starter motor function and
operation.
3. Disassemble starter motor according to
service manual.
4. assemble starter motor according to
service manual.
 THE BIG QUESTION
What is the problem of the car?

What is the best remedies to solve the

problem?
Starting system
PART OF STARTING
SYSTEM
 PURPOSE
The vehicles starting system
is designed to turn or crank
engine over.
 Starting system

What are some of the starting

system components.
6 basic components

1) Battery
2) Ignition switch
3)Battery cables
4)Starter motor assembly
5)Starter safety switch
6) Flywheel assembly
 Starter
Average starter motor draws
about 250Amps or more.
This current flows through the
large cables that connect the
battery to the starter and ground.
 Function

The starter circuit has 2 separate
circuits.

1) The control circuit

2) The starter circuit
 The Control Circuit

Connects battery power at the

ignition switch to the magnetic
switch which controls the high
current to the starter motor.
 The Starter Circuit

Carriers the heavy current from

the battery to the starter motor
through a magnetic switch in a
solenoid.
 Starter Solenoid
 Receives a large electric current from the car
battery and a small electric current from the ignition
switch.

 When the ignition switch is turned on, a small

electric current is sent to the starter solenoid.

 This
causes the starter solenoid to close a pair of
heavy contacts
Starter Solenoid
 Starting Safety Switch
What is a Starting safety switch?

Why do we need a starting safety

switch?
 Starting Safety Switch
 Alsocalled a park neutral safety switch for
automatic transmissions.
 Prevents the starting system from operating when
the transmission is in gear. Switch in series with
circuit.

 Clutch start switch used on manual transmission

cars.
 Switch is mounted on clutch pedal.
 Fly Wheel
Attached to the end of the
crankshaft.
Large diameter, makes it easy for
starter to engage and rotate engine
through gear reduction
FlyWheel
 Starter failures
What are some of the possible
starting failures that may
occur.
 Starting circuit failures
Starter solenoid.
Starter safety switches.
Battery problems
Starter motor.
