2006 Toyota Sequoia Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the starter motor on 2006 Toyota Sequoia?

  A: The service and repair process of the starter motor starts with removing the throttle body cover followed by the intake air connector. Complete the starter motor repair process by disconnecting both the throttle body from the intake manifold and the cable from the negative terminal. Start by removing the intake manifold assembly and the air pump assembly before moving on to start the starter assembly removal. The starter service demands the step-by-step procedure of unbolting the starter from the cylinder block using 2 blocks and afterward disconnecting the starter from the cylinder block and starter connector before removing the nut and bolt for the starter wire and the bolt to detach the engine wire protector from the starter. You should start by attaching the engine wire protector to the starter through the bolt while applying a torque of 9.81 N.m (100 kgf.cm, 84 in.lbf). Connect the starter wire through the nut with the same torque followed by attaching the starter connector. You should temporarily install the starter to the cylinder block while using the bolt to secure the engine wire before installing the starter with its 2 bolts torqued to 39 N.m (400 kgf.cm, 29 ft.lbf). Starter installation must be followed by installation of the air pump assembly and intake manifold assembly and the assembly of throttle body to intake manifold. Connect the intake air connector along with the throttle body cover before reattaching the cable to the negative (-) battery terminal. Initialization procedures must be performed by some vehicle systems whenever disconnecting the battery cable.
