5. Isẹ
The starter motor is responsible for cranking the engine to initiate combustion. When the ignition key is turned to the "START" position, electrical current flows from the battery to the starter solenoid. The solenoid engages the starter pinion gear with the engine's flywheel and simultaneously sends power to the starter motor. The motor then rotates the flywheel, turning the crankshaft and starting the engine. Once the engine starts, the ignition key should be released, disengaging the starter to prevent damage.
6. Itọju
Starters are generally low-maintenance components. However, regular checks of the associated electrical system can prolong its life:
- Ipò Batiri: Ensure your vehicle's battery is fully charged and in good condition. A weak battery can overwork the starter.
- Awọn Isopọ USB: Máa ṣe àyẹ̀wò àwọn okùn bátìrì àti àwọn ìsopọ̀ ìbẹ̀rẹ̀ lẹ́ẹ̀kọ̀ọ̀kan fún ìbàjẹ́, ìfọ́, tàbí ìbàjẹ́. Mọ́ kí o sì fún wọn ní okun bí ó ṣe yẹ.
- Ipò Ẹ̀rọ: A well-maintained engine that starts easily reduces the load and wear on the starter.

If your vehicle experiences starting issues, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:
| Aisan | Owun to le Fa | Iṣe |
|---|---|---|
| No Crank, No Click: | Dead battery, faulty ignition switch, open circuit in starter wiring. | Check battery charge, inspect battery terminals and starter wiring for corrosion or looseness. |
| No Crank, Single Click: | Weak battery, faulty starter solenoid, seized engine, poor connection. | Charge/test battery, check battery and starter connections. |
| Idẹra lọra: | Weak battery, corroded battery cables, high resistance in starter circuit. | Test battery, clean battery terminals and cable connections. |
| Starter Spins, Engine Does Not Crank: | Faulty starter drive (bendix), damaged flywheel teeth. | Inspect starter drive and flywheel for damage. Replacement may be necessary. |
