• Q: How to remove and replace the starter motor for the 1.6 kW type on 2007 Toyota Yaris?

  A: The first step to replace the 1.6 kW type starter motor requires disconnecting the negative battery terminal cable. Start by removing the flywheel housing side cover through the claw disconnection method followed by upward pushing of the clamp. The starter assembly disassembly starts by removing the terminal cap followed by detach N30 terminal connection through its nut then disconnecting the connector before unscrewing the 2 bolts.

Secure terminal 30 using the nut by applying 9.8 N.m (100 kgf.cm, 87 in.lbf) torque and replace the terminal cap. Fit the side cover of the flywheel housing by inserting its protruding section into the cylinder block end before securing the 2 claws into position on the cylinder block until they create a clicking sound; replace deformed or misfitting claws with new ones for proper placement. Obtain the cable then fasten it to the negative battery terminal by applying 5.4 N.m (55 kgf.cm, 48 in.lbf) of torque.
