Understanding the System

How Your Starting & Charging System Works

Your vehicle's electrical system is a complete power network. The battery provides starting power, the alternator recharges it and powers accessories while driving, and the starter motor cranks the engine to life. When any link in this chain fails, you may not get far.

1
Battery
Stores electrical energy and provides the power burst to start the engine
2
Alternator
Recharges the battery and powers all electrical systems while the engine runs
3
Starter Motor
Uses battery power to crank the engine on startup
4
Ignition System
Sends the start command from the key or button to the starter
5
Wiring Harness
The network of wires connecting every system in the vehicle
6
ECM/PCM
The vehicle's brain — controls fuel, ignition, and all electronic systems
