ENGINE STARTING APPARATUS FOR IDLE-STOP VEHICLE

摘要

An extra lengthy part (21) for increasing resistance is provided in a dedicated starter harness (7) that directly connects a starter provided in an engine to a plus terminal (4a) of an in-vehicle battery (4), and the total length of the harness (7) is thereby increased as compared with the original length required for installment in an engine room. The lengthy part (21) is arranged in a bar shape by folding a portion of the one continuous harness (7) in half twice and furthermore bending the portion twice, and then the lengthy part (21) is fixed and supported by a bracket (22) of a battery tray (25) by using a harness holder (23). A voltage drop which is a problem can be suppressed when a vehicle having an idle-stop function is restarted, without using a resistor which is subjected to thermal resistance restrictions. Since the required resistance is ensured by additionally increasing the length of the harness (7), there is not much increase in the temperature of the harness (7).
