The fuel relay is energised and the engine is cranked.
If the engine fails to fire during this cranking attempt then the starter motor is disengaged for the
Crank Rest Timer duration after which the next start attempt is made. Should this sequence continue
beyond the set Number Of Attempts, the start sequence is terminated and the display shows Fail to
Start.
The starter motor is disengaged when the engine fires. Speed detection is factory configured to be
derived from the AC alternator output frequency, but can additionally be measured from a Magnetic
Pickup mounted on the flywheel or from the CANbus link to the engine ECU depending on module
configuration.
Additionally, rising oil pressure can be used to disconnect the starter motor (but cannot detect
underspeed or overspeed).
After the starter motor has disengaged, the Safety On Delay timer activates, allowing Oil Pressure,
High Engine Temperature, Under-speed, Charge Fail and any delayed Auxiliary fault inputs to
stabilise without triggering the fault.
