Toyota Starters Online

The starter in your Toyota is itself a motor. Without it, you'd probably be forced to hand-crank your engine in order to get it running. Starters are also called cranking motors, self-starters, and starter motors. No matter what name you use, they do the same thing

How Your Starter Works

The starter used a relay and a dedicated starter motor to crank, or start, your vehicle's engine. Modern vehicles are outfitted with an electric starter, meaning you just need to either turn the key in the ignition switch or press the start button to kick things off. If your Toyota is equipped with a remote starter, you only need to press the button on your key fob to begin the process. That comes in handy when the weather's bad outside and you want to set a comfortable cabin temperature before entering.

How to Spot Problems With Your Starter

When your starter begins to go bad, it’s pretty easy to diagnose. Signs of failure include:

• You hear a clicking sound when you're trying to start your Toyota
• You can't start your vehicle, even after a jump start
• You can only start when your vehicle is in specific gears
• There's smoke coming from the starter
