Starter

In order to replace the Starter motor, one needs to disconnect the battery negative cable and jack up the vehicle safely. Undoes the frontal lower air deflector panel and the torque converters covers. Remove the positive Battery Cable by taking out the Starter solenoid bat terminal nut , and remove the Starter solenoid wire by removing the s terminal nut . Remove the Starter bolts (1, 2) and use their place remover along with all necessary shims. For installation, it is necessary to make proper use of the correct Starter motor namely, pg260 f1 is used on the 3.1 l engine. Lining up the Starter motor to the engine, reinstall very any shims taken out. Install the Starter bolts (1, 2) finger tighten until they are seated and tighten them to 43 n.m (32 lb ft). Reconnect the positive Battery Cable and install the solenoid bat terminal nut finger tight followed by Starter solenoid wire and installing the s terminal nut finger tight. The solenoid bat terminal nut and the s terminal nut should each be tightened to 9.5 n.m (84 lb in) and 2.3 n.m (20.4 lb in), respectively. Replace the covers for the torque converter and the front lower air defect panel and lower the vehicle, and the last thing is to connect the battery negative cable again.

The Starter motor replacement process starts with disconnecting the negative Battery Cable after lifting the vehicle to an appropriate height. Begin by removing the Starter motor's electrical connections and the cover bolts from the flywheel inspection before removing the cover itself. Remove the Starter motor by disengaging all mounting bolts. Place the Starter motor onto the engine then secure the nut by the bat terminal cap because this will protect the electrical connections from damage while installation occurs. Use 40 n.m torque when tightening the Starter motor mounting bolts to a value of 30 lb ft. Install the battery terminal connection to the solenoid and secure it with a 17 n.m (13 lb ft) torque setting. Then connect electrical wires to the solenoid s terminal before tightening the solenoid s terminal nut to 3 n.m (27 lb in). Secure the flywheel inspection cover with bolts then tighten these to 10 n.m (89 lb in). Drive down the vehicle then reattach the negative Battery Cable.

The Starter motor replacement process starts with disconnecting the battery negative cable. Use appropriate methods of vehicle support to correctly elevate the system. Detach the electrical wires from the Starter motor solenoid positive terminal nut before removing the solenoid s terminal nut as well as its electrical wire. Begin by removing the torque converter cover bolt and then taking out the torque converter cover itself. Start by removing the bolts (2,3) from the Starter motor followed by the Starter motor itself. Place the Starter motor correctly into position and lock it into place with the Starter motor bolts (2, 3) while tightening them to 43 n.m (32 lb ft). Fasten the torque converter cover in place through the torque converter cover bolt while tightening it to 8 n.m (71 lb in). Begin the installation of the Starter solenoid s terminal electrical wire accompanied by its nut then tighten both components until the torque reaches 3 n.m (27 lb in). Next connect the tabs for the positive terminal electrical wires and their nut, and tighten to 10 n.m (89 lb in). End the process by lowering the vehicle while reconnecting the battery negative cable.

Start addressing Starter motor replacement by disconnecting the battery negative terminal and lifting the vehicle. First remove all bolts from the flywheel inspection cover before you detach it from the vehicle. Also disconnect all electrical components from the Starter motor. Begin by extracting mounting bolt attachments and then extract the Starter motor itself. Place the Starter motor onto the engine while tightening the nut near the solenoid bat terminal point to prevent electrical connection damage throughout installation. Secure the Starter motor mounting bolts with torque at 40 n.m (30 lb ft). Begin by securing the electrical connection to the solenoid's battery terminal through a 17 n.m (13 lb ft) torque setting and afterward tighten the s terminal solenoid connection using 3 n.m (27 lb in) torque. After installing the flywheel inspection cover, bolt it securely while tightening the bolts to 10 n.m (89 lb in). Lower your vehicle entirely before you reconnect the negative Battery Cable.

The first step for servicing the pg260 f1 Starter motor includes unfastening the battery ground (negative) cable from the battery. Raise the vehicle while supporting it before you extract the radiator air baffle assembly. The sequence begins by removing the bat terminal nut together with its electrical wiring then moving on to the s terminal nut after removing its electrical lead. The service of pg260 f1 Starter motor begins with removing the torque converter cover then Starter motor bolts so the Starter motor can be extracted. When installing start the process by positioning the Starter motor and fasten it down with Starter motor bolts which need to be tightened to 47 n.m (35 lb ft). First reinstall the torque converter cover followed by connecting the Starter motor s terminal electrical lead and tightening its corresponding electrical nut to 3 n.m (27 lb in). After that, connect the Starter motor bat terminal and fasten its solenoid bat terminal nut to 10 n.m torque (89 lb in). After reinstalling the radiator air baffle assembly the vehicle should be lowered while connecting the battery ground (negative) cable to the battery.

Install the positive battery cable and the solenoid BAT terminal nut, tightening them finger tight to the starter motor.

Tighten the solenoid S terminal nut to 3 N.m (27 lb in).

Tighten the solenoid BAT terminal nut to 9.5 N.m (84 lb in) and the starter solenoid S terminal nut to 2.3 N.m (20.4 lb in).

Align the starter motor to the engine and install the starter bolts (1,2) finger tight until seated, then tighten them to 43 N.m (32 lb ft).

Install the torque converter cover.

Disconnect the battery ground (negative) cable from the battery.

Install the starter bolts (1,2) finger tight until seated, then tighten them to 43 N.m (32 lb ft).

Disconnect the negative battery cable.

Reinstall the torque converter covers, the lower air deflector, lower the vehicle, and reconnect the negative battery cable.

Detach the electrical leads from the starter.

Position the starter and secure it with the starter-to-engine bolts.

Position the starter and secure it to the engine with bolts.

Align the starter motor to the engine and install the starter bolts (1,2) finger tight until seated, then tighten them to 43 N.m (32 lb ft).

Guide the starter into the engine block.

Disconnect the starter solenoid BAT terminal nut and the positive battery cable, followed by the starter solenoid S terminal nut and the starter solenoid wire.

Align the starter motor to the engine and install the starter motor bolts (1,2) finger tight until seated.

Disconnect the negative battery cable.

Reattach the torque converter cover, followed by the starter motor S terminal electrical lead and nut, tightening the solenoid S terminal nut to 3 N.m (27 lb in).

Disconnect the battery ground (negative) cable from the battery.

Reinstall the differential carrier shield and its mounting bolts, tightening them to 25 N.m (18 lb ft).
