Starter Motor: Service and Repair

Removal and Installation




REMOVAL
1. Open the driver and front passenger window, and then disconnect the battery cable from the negative terminal.

CAUTION: Before disconnecting the battery, lower both the driver and passenger windows. This will prevent any interference between the window edge and the vehicle when the door is opened/closed. During normal operation, the window slightly raises and lowers automatically to prevent any window to vehicle interference. The automatic window function will not work with the battery disconnected.




2. Remove engine rear undercover, using power tools.
3. Disconnect "S" connector.
4. Remove "B" terminal nut.
5. Remove starter motor mounting bolts and harness connector clip bracket, using power tools.
6. Remove starter motor downward.

INSTALLATION
Installation is the reverse order of removal.

CAUTION: Be sure to tighten "B" terminal nut carefully.
