A gear reduction starter with permanent-magnet fields is used. An internal planetary gear reduction unit provides increased cranking torque. The starting system includes a starter motor with solenoid-actuated drive, battery, starter/ignition switch, Digital Transmission Range (DTR) sensor, starter relay and associated circuitry.

Power to ignition switch is provided from fuse No. 113 (40-amp) in battery junction box in engine compartment. Power from ignition switch to starter is routed through fuse No. 21 (15-amp) in central junction box and through transmission range switch.
