INTER-LOCK SWITCH
N72ZB02AA
The inter-lock switch is a switch provided in order to prevent
sudden movement of the vehicle when the engine is started.
d
Thus, the starter motor will not be switched ON unless the
clutch pedal is depressed, thereby switching OFF the inter-lock
switch.
NOTE
The inter-lock switch is normally ON; it is switched OFF when
the clutch pedal is depressed.

If the Clutch Pedal is Not Depressed:
Because the inter-lock switch is switched ON when
the ignition switch is switched to the START position,
electricity flows from the coil of the starter relay,
through the inter-lock switch, to ground. As a result,
the contacts of the starter relay separate, switching
it OFF, and the starter motor is therefore not acti-
vated.

When the Clutch Pedal is Depressed:
The inter-lock switch is switched OFF when the
clutch pedal is depressed. If the ignition switch is
then switched to the START position at this time,
the flow of electricity to the coil of the starter relay
will be interrupted, the contacts of the starter relay
will close, switching it ON, and the starter motor
will be activated.
