To replace the starter motor on a Toyota Yaris, open the bonnet to access the components inside the engine bay. You will need to loosen the mounting bolts and disconnect the power cables connected to the battery. The battery must then be removed from its housing to access the starter motor underneath.

Release the starter motor by unscrewing the bolts that secure it and disconnecting the power cables, allowing it to be replaced with a new one. After the replacement, reinstall the battery.
