Hyundai Kona: ISG (Idle Stop & Go) System / Starter Description and operation

The starting system consists of 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.

When power is supplied, solenoid plunger and clutch shift lever are activated, and the clutch pinion engages the ring hear, closing the contacts and cranking the starter motor.

In order to prevent damage caused by excessive rotation of the starter armature when the engine starts, the clutch pinion gear overruns.

In conjunction with the ISG function, the starter motor must do a great deal more work. Therefore, the starter motor is configured for a significantly higher number of start cycles. The components of the starter motor have been adapted to the higher requirements.
