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

  A:

  Start the removal and replacement process of the starter motor by disconnecting the negative terminal from the battery. Start by removing first the right-hand engine under cover then follow with the left-hand side one. The starter assembly removal begins by disconnecting the starter connector which is noted as [A] then opening the terminal cover before unfastening the nut labeled [C] to disconnect the starter wire and finally using two bolts to extract the starter. For installation the starter assembly needs to be placed in position before securing it with two bolts while torquing to 37 N.m (378 kgf.cm, 27 ft.lbf). Fasten the starter wire using the nut [B] at 9.8 N.m (100 kgf.cm, 7 ft.lbf) torque before closing the terminal cover then connecting the starter connector [D]. After completing the left-hand side install of the engine under cover the process continues with the right-hand side and ends with connecting the battery negative terminal using a torque of 5.4 N.m (55 kgf.cm, 48 in.lbf).

  Q: How to install the Starter Motor for a manual or automatic transaxle on Toyota Matrix?

  A:

  The manual transaxle starter assembly installation requires the starter assembly placement alongside the clutch accumulator bracket and wire harness clamp bracket with three bolts securing each part according to specifications such as Bolt A at 37 Nm (377 kgf-cm, 27 ft-lbf) and Bolt B at 12 Nm (120 kgf-cm, 9 ft-lbf). The wire harness must be connected to terminal 30 followed by attaching the terminal cap after tightening the nut to 9.8 Nm (100 kgf-cm, 87 in-lbf). The last step involves connecting the terminal 50 connector to the starter assembly. When working on an automatic transaxle you must first connect the wire harness to terminal 30 using a nut then fasten the terminal cap at 9.8 Nm (100 kgf-cm, 87 in-lbf) before installing the terminal 50 connector. Install the battery carrier first followed by the battery then complete the installation by securing the half-claw on the wire harness and terminal 50 connector. After the air cleaner case and the air cleaner cap sub-assembly with hose the technician will install the No. 1 engine cover sub-assembly. Termination of the process involves connecting the cable to the negative battery terminal.
