Starter

The service process for a starter motor starts by disconnecting the battery ground cable at the battery for safety from hazardous tool contact at the starter motor battery terminal that could lead to burns. Start your procedure by stripping the battery tray followed by separating the wire harness pin-type retainer of the starter motor. Tighten the starter motor solenoid wire nut to a value of 5 Nm (44 lb-in) before reattaching it and set the wire aside. Set the cover of the starter motor solenoid terminal battery cable aside before removing its battery cable nut and setting the cable aside. Reinstall this cable with 12 Nm (9 lb-ft) torque. Detach the two starter motor bolts before removing the motor itself and reinstall using torques of 27 Nm (20 lb-ft). The installation process ends with the reverse procedure.

The service procedure starts with removing the battery tray followed by unhooking the pin-type retainer of the starter motor wire harness. The starter motor solenoid wire should be disconnected by removing its nut before setting it aside for installation. Reattachment requires tightening the wire to 5 Nm (44 lb-in). Start by positioning the starter motor solenoid terminal battery cable cover aside then remove its battery cable nut while setting the cable aside and tightening it to 12 Nm (9 lb-ft) when reinstalling. Start by removing the starter motor bolts and then install it afterward at 27 Nm with 20 lb-ft torque. The installation process ends with the reverse order of the removal steps. All maintenance work needs protective caps to be installed since the heavy gauge leads directly connect to the battery.

The process of servicing a 3.5L starter motor begins with disconnecting the battery ground cable at the battery to eliminate potential tool-caused burns because shorting at the starter battery terminal poses both burn and serious injury risks. Start the starter motor repair by taking out both the battery tray and wire harness pin-type retainer. The next step is to remove the starter motor solenoid wire nut while placing the wire safely aside and you should tighten this wire to 5 Nm (44 lb-in) during reinstallation. The starter motor solenoid terminal battery cable cover needs to be moved away before removing the starter motor solenoid battery cable nut while setting the cable aside with a torque of 12 Nm (106 lb-in) applied during reinstallation. The starter motor can be installation-ready by removing its two bolts first then reinstalling it with proper torque settings at 27 Nm (20 lb-ft). You need to perform the reverse order of removal steps in order to finish the installation procedure.
