The Toyota Highlander Starter transforms the battery electricity into the mechanical movement that cranks the engine to get the ignition going. Within the robust casing, there is a rotating armature between field coils or permanent magnets. With the application of current, the armature turns by electromagnetic force. The ignition switch is reacted to, and the solenoid mounted outside the engine is linked back to the battery by a heavy gauge of wire, which causes the Starter to energize and the drive gear to slide its gear into the flywheel or flexplate ring gear. When the armature spins, the drive gear causes the crankshaft to rotate until combustion occurs, and an overrunning clutch is released to secure components. The control path incorporates a Starter relay and a safety switch, which will only allow engagement when the automatic transmission is in neutral or park or the clutch is depressed in the case of a manual. Once the engine is started, the solenoid will withdraw the gear, and the Starter will cease. In the Toyota Highlander models, the Starter is an electric one. This synchronized action enables all the Toyota Highlanders to start easily and highlights the reliability that has been designed into the Toyota powertrain systems in the Highlander.
