• Q: How to remove and install the starter motor on 2006 Toyota Sienna?

  A: The procedure starts by disconnecting the battery along with removing the battery tray. You should start by disconnecting the VSV connector then removing the wire harness clamp followed by removing two bolts which detach the No. 2 air cleaner inlet. The air cleaner installation starts by disconnecting the connectors for mass air flow meter and vacuum hoses then the torques on air cleaner cap bolts and the clamp bolt allow the air cleaner cap to separate with its attached No. 1 air cleaner hose. Begin by taking away the air cleaner filter element then the wire harness clamp and wire harness from the clamp followed by uninstalling the 3 bolts for removing the air cleaner case. Remove the air cleaner bracket first by taking out its 2 bolts followed by removing the bolt installed on the No. 1 air cleaner inlet. The starter disassembly process requires disconnecting the starter connector and opening the terminal cap and removing the starter nut from the starter wire while extracting two bolts securing the starter. For installation, torque the starter assembly bolts to 37 N.m (380 kgf.cm, 26 ft.lbf) and the nut to 9.8 N.m (100 kgf.cm, 7 ft.lbf). Install the No. 1 air cleaner inlet using 5.0 N.m torque before tightening the air cleaner bracket at 7.8 N.m followed by air cleaner assembly and No. 2 air cleaner inlet also set to 5.0 N.m. Install the battery tray along with the battery while tightening the bolt to 5.5 N.m (56 kgf.cm, 49 in.lbf) then the nut to the same specification before tightening the terminal to 3.5 N.m (36 kgf.cm, 31 in.lbf).
