How to remove the starter motor from Toyota Highlander?

To remove the starter motor on a four-cylinder model, disconnect the negative battery terminal cable. Also, remove the air filter housing and intake duct for 2.4L engines 2003 and earlier models, or the Car Batteries for models that are 2004 and later. Next, you should detach the engine cover, air filter housing, intake ducts, and filter bracket on the 2.7L engines. Then, disconnect the electrical connectors and remove the mounting bolts. For V6 models, disconnect the negative battery cable and remove the battery and the battery tray for Highlander models or just the battery depending on the engine models. Once you remove the battery, remove the air filter housing as well as the intake duct on all models. On 1999-2003 V6 models, start by removing the starter motor, and then the electrical connectors. On RX350 models that come with a 2GR-FKS engine, remove the shift control cable, the bracket, and the mounting bolts. On models that are 2004 and later, remove the electrical connectors and the starter mounting bolts. Installation is the reverse of the removal.

Toyota Highlander Starter Motor

But in Toyota Highlander vehicles, the function of the Starter Motor Motor is to use electrical power from the battery to produce the mechanical power need to crank the engine. It works with the help of an externally connected solenoid deriving its power supply from the battery which in-turn switches on the starter motor. In the starter, there is a rotating armature which between them there are field coils or permanent magnets to produce the necessary rotary movement to engage the starter drive with the flywheel of the engine. There has been the use of several types of starters on the models of highlander such as the gear reduction starters which uses a reduction gear to engage the drive thereby increasing its efficiency. OE starters are specifically built for standard engines, and hence they may not withstand high-compression engines hence failure. Some changes made on the starter include: the inclusion of gear reduction system that enhances on the performance and durability of the highlander across the various generations that have been developed.
