Function And Common Failures
A starter motor converts electrical energy from the battery into mechanical torque to crank the engine until it starts. Typical failure modes include worn brushes and commutator, solenoid or bendix faults, damaged pinion teeth, oil or coolant contamination, and electrical issues such as poor grounding or low battery voltage. Service life depends on operating conditions and maintenance; many starters perform well beyond 100,000 km, while exposure to leaks or repeated heavy cranking can shorten lifespan.
Replacement Guidance
Replacement is straightforward for trained technicians. Recommended steps: disconnect the negative battery terminal, label and remove electrical connections to the starter, unbolt the starter (commonly three mounting bolts), withdraw the unit and compare flange and pinion alignment with the replacement. Install the new starter, torque mounting bolts to the manufacturer's specification, reconnect wiring and battery, then perform a test start. Always confirm compatibility by matching OEM product codes before installation.
