Install the Starter motor to its designated engine position then apply 43 nm torque (32 lb ft) when tightening the bolts. Install the Starter motor electrical connector while also installing the engine harness terminal then the positive Battery Cable terminal to the Starter. Make sure the positive Battery Cable terminal anti-rotation feature lines up correctly during installation. Secure the Starter solenoid bat terminal nut to 10 nm (89 lb in). Reinstall both the torque converter cover and the front lower air deflector panel followed by a Battery Cable negative connection.
