The starter motor is located on the rear right side of the oil pan. The pinion gear of the starter motor protrudes through an aperture in the transmission housing, adjacent to the ring gear on the drive plate.
The starter motor is rated at 1.7 kW and comprises a series wound motor, an overrunning clutch and pinion, and a starter solenoid.
The starter solenoid is connected to a power supply from the starter relay in the Engine Junction Box 2 (EJB 2), which is controlled by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). When the starter solenoid is energized it closes a high-current contact within the solenoid. The high-current contact supplies the starter motor with power from the primary battery via the Battery Junction Box (BJB).
