2006 Toyota Solara Parts Questions & Experts Answers

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

  A: Starting the repair process on the starter motor requires checking both the connector connection and accessory installation. The maintenance process starts with taking off the battery and battery tray then moving to the air cleaner assembly and bracket removal using two bolts. The air cleaner inlet assembly needs unfastening by unscrewing its 2 bolts. The starter assembly service starts with disconnecting the starter connector while removing the nut to disconnect the starter wire then taking out the 2 bolts holding the starter in place. Start by setting the starter assembly into position and fasten it with two bolts which require a torque of 39 N.m (398 kgf.cm, 29 ft.lbf). Next connect the starter wire to its nut while torquing it to 13 N.m (130 kgf.cm, 9 ft.lbf). Finally, reconnect the starter connector. After fastening the air cleaner bracket with two bolts to 12 N.m (122 kgf.cm, 9 ft.lbf), install the air cleaner assembly with 5.0 N.m (51 kgf.cm, 44 in.lbf) torque, finish by securing the air cleaner inlet assembly with two bolts that should be torqued to 7.0 N.m (71 kgf.cm, 62 in.lbf). After checking that the vacuum hose is secure, install the battery tray followed by the battery while securing the battery clamp using a bolt and nut which should be torqued to 5.5 N.m (56 kgf.cm, 49 in.lbf). The next step involves connecting cables to the battery terminals before torquing them to 3.5 N.m (36 kgf.cm, 31 in.lbf).
