Lexus OEM Starters

These days, modern vehicles feature a starter. While you may call it a cranking motor, starter motor, or self-starter, it's a crucial Ð and convenient Ð part. How it works is straightforward.

How You Starter Works

Simply, the starter uses a dedicated motor and relay to rotate your engine. This can also be called "cranking," in homage to the old way of hand-cranking the motor. It does that when you turn the ignition key, or press the "Start" button if you have one. Remote starters do the same thing, but at the press of a button on your key fob.

However, starters can eventually start to go bad. When that happens, you'll notice it taking longer to get your engine to turn over. That's not good.

How to Spot Starter Issues

Signs of trouble with your starter include:

• The engine doesn't crank
• You hear clicking noises when you try to start
• The dash lights come on but the engine won't engage
