• Q: How to remove and replace the starter motor on 2009 Toyota Matrix?

  A: The removal and replacement of the 2AZ-FE engine starter motor requires beginning with disconnecting the negative battery cable. The first step requires removal of the No. 1 engine cover sub-assembly before moving on to the air cleaner cap sub-assembly with hose followed by the air cleaner case. Proceed by uninstalling the battery together with its carrier. The claw mechanism allows you to disconnect the wire harness properly. Users should disconnect the terminal 50 connector from the starter assembly and remove the nut along with the wire harness at terminal 30 before removing three bolts, clutch accumulator bracket, wire harness clamp bracket and starter assembly for manual transaxle vehicles. The procedure for automatic transaxle includes disconnecting terminal 50 connector from the starter assembly followed by nut removal and wire harness separation from terminal 30 and removing two bolts and wire harness clamp bracket and starter assembly.
