MEMO After Start Once the engine has been started, the belt driven alternator (10) generates a current. The output generated by the alternator (10) is a square wave pulse voltage through the "P" terminal and the frequency of the pulse voltage is proportional to the rotation of the alternator. The starter controller (7) monitors the frequency of the output current. Once the frequency is equivalent to 500 rpm, it is sensed and the connection between "S" and "E" terminals and the connection between "B" and "PP" terminals are opened. As a result the rotation of the starter (9) is stopped.
Once the engine is running, the starter (9) will not operate even if the starter switch (5) is moved to the start position, preventing possible damage to the starter. SP001727 Electrical System Page 14
