How to replace the starter motor on Cadillac DTS?

Before starting the Starter motor replacement process you must disconnect the negative Battery Cable. Next, remove the Intake Manifold. Start by unscrewing the "bat" terminal nut followed by the "s" terminal nut from the Starter motor. Once completed disconnect the Starter solenoid cable from its position. Begin by removing both Starter motor bolts before completely removing the Starter motor unit. Begin Starter motor installation by fitting the device into its slot in the Starter solenoid retention area while ensuring that the large terminal locator tab is properly located. Tighten all Starter motor bolts to a torque specification of 25 nm (18 lb ft). Connect the Starter solenoid cable to the Starter before you install and tighten the "s" terminal nut to 4 nm (35 lb in) torque then move to the "bat" terminal nut at 10 nm (89 lb in). Reinstall both the Intake Manifold while also reconnecting the negative Battery Cable.

The Cadillac DTS Starter is an important part of the vehicle that converts the battery energy into the mechanical energy to turn the engine. These are through an externally mounted solenoid drawing current from the battery to the starter motor. Within the starter, the rotating armature moves within the field coils or permanent magnets sufficient torque production is created. I came to know that the starter drive meshes with the flywheel of the engine once the key is turned to START, and an over running clutch releases the same once the engine begins to run. In Cadillac DTS vehicles over several years the starters that have been used include the gear reduction starter wherein there is a reduction gear that assist in the start by engaging the drive. While ordinary starters are the ones that come with the engine, high compression motors have high torque requirements and therefore, the OE starters may mess up in delivering this. That is why the choice of starter technology has changed, progressing in tandem with the requirements for the reliability and power of modern cars.
