Genuine Toyota OEM Starters

Toyota & Scion car starters go by many names. They get called everything from self-starters to starter motors, even cranking motors. Whether you're driving a car, a truck, or an SUV, though, and whether its starter is remanufactured or new, how the starter works is the same. Put simply, it uses a relay and dedicated motor to "crank" (i.e., start) the vehicle's engine. Remote starters do the same thing, but without turning a key; if you've got a smart key fob, you simply press a button.

When your starter won't turn at all, though -- or, at least, it isn't cranking dependably -- more than likely, it's because it's going out or gone bad. Luckily, both the causes of starter failure and the symptoms of starter problems are highly recognizable. Those causes are damaged parts, corroded terminals, and loose wiring. Those signs include the inability to start, even with lit dash lights and displays, only being able to start in some drive modes or gears, failure to jump-start, and a smoking or oil-covered starter. In any such cases, do a careful starter inspection to figure out the problem.
