Toyota 28100-0A011 Starter Assembly

To remove the starter motor assembly from the engine compartment, begin by disconnecting the cable from the negative battery terminal. Then, remove the engine cover(s), air filter housing, and air inlet duct. Next, detach the electrical connectors from the starter/solenoid assembly. Unscrew the starter motor assembly and remove it. To reinstall, switch the removal steps going from the last step to the first step.

Disconnect the cable from the negative battery terminal. Remove the battery, battery tray, and reinforcement. Take off the terminal cover and disconnect the electrical connectors from the starter/solenoid, starting with the positive (B+) terminal, followed by the starter electrical connector. The B+ terminal cover can be easily removed by inserting a screwdriver into each slot on the face of the cover to disengage the tabs. Remove the two starter motor mounting bolts and take out the starter motor assembly from the engine compartment. Installation is the reverse of removal, ensuring to tighten the starter motor mounting bolts.

The first step is to disconnect the cable from the negative battery terminal.

Several items should be checked, including the battery cable clamps, battery cables, battery, wiring and connections of the starter solenoid, mounting bolts of the starter, fusible link, Park/Neutral switch, and starter relay.

Start by disconnecting the cable from the negative battery terminal. Then, depending on the engine type and model year, you may need to remove the air filter housing and air intake duct or the battery and battery tray. Finally, detach the electrical connectors from the starter/solenoid assembly and remove the starter motor mounting bolts to remove the starter.
