  Q: How to remove the starter motor on Toyota Solara and 1997 through 2001 Toyota Avalon?

  A: Detach the cable from the negative terminal of the battery. If the stereo in your vehicle is equipped with an anti-theft system, make sure you have the correct activation code before disconnecting the battery. Remove the battery from the engine compartment. Disconnect and remove the cruise control actuator from the engine compartment, if equipped. Detach the electrical connectors from the starter/solenoid assembly. Remove the starter motor mounting bolts. Remove the bracket from the upper section of the starter/solenoid assembly. It is necessary to loosen one or two of the bracket bolts to allow the starter/solenoid assembly to partially drop down to gain access to the remaining bracket assembly bolts and hardware. Installation is the reverse of removal.

  Q: How to check and diagnose a Starter Motor and starting circuit malfunction on Toyota Avalon and Toyota Solara?

  A: If a starting circuit malfunctions, don't immediately blame the starter. Instead, systematically check components and connections. Ensure Battery Cable clamps are clean and tight, inspect battery cables, assess the battery's condition, examine the starter solenoid wiring, check starter mounting bolts, fusible links, and the ignition switch circuit. Also, check the Park/Neutral switch (automatic) or clutch start switch (manual) and confirm the shift lever's position. If the starter doesn't engage, check for battery voltage at the solenoid's positive terminal. If absent, check fuses and relays. If present but the starter doesn't work, bench test the starter. If it cranks slowly, check the cranking voltage and current draw. If they're off, replace the starter. If the starter gets voltage but doesn't activate, bench test to see if the solenoid or starter motor is defective.
