• Q: How to service and repair the starter motor on 2005 Toyota Sequoia?

  A: The starter motor service and repair procedure starts with removing the throttle body cover and intake air connector followed by negative (-) battery cable disconnection. After disconnection of the throttle body assembly from the intake manifold proceed with the removal of both the intake manifold assembly and the air pump assembly. The starter requires two blocking bolts removal from the cylinder block before its separation from the cylinder block and disconnecting its connector. Detach the wire starter by taking off the bolt and nut to disconnect the wire starter and remove the engine wire protector from the starter through disconnecting its bolt before you finally take out the starter itself. Before installing begin by connecting the engine wire protector to the starter through the bolt while tightening it to 9.81 N.m with tolerance at 100 kgf.cm and 84 in.lbf. Start with attaching the starter wire to its nut through identical torque and finish by connecting the starter connector before positioning the starter against the cylinder block. Screw the engine wire into the bolt while tightening the starter using 2 bolts at 39 N.m (400 kgf.cm, 29 ft.lbf). The next step involves the installation of air pump assembly followed by the intake manifold assembly while connecting the throttle body assembly to the intake manifold. Complete the installation by connecting the intake air connector with the throttle body cover then restore the battery cable connection to the negative (-) terminal followed by system initialization steps for those requiring it after battery disconnection.
