Abstract

A motor vehicle starter is controlled by a control device which cuts off the starter by measuring the power supply voltage of the starter and interrupting the power supply when that voltage reaches a threshold value. The threshold value is a function of the value of the power supply voltage measured at the inception of the starting operation.
