Abstract (en)

In engine starter system adapted to crank an engine first in a reverse direction, and finally in a normal direction with an electric motor that is connected to a crankshaft of an engine, to ensure a successful cranking at all times, an electric current is supplied to the electric motor for a normal rotation prior to cranking the engine in the reverse direction to move the crankshaft to a suitable angular position at least under a prescribed condition. This control can be accomplished without requiring any special angle sensor. <IMAGE>
