To replace the starter motor on a Toyota Yaris, open the bonnet to access the components inside the engine bay. You will need to remove the battery and the air filter box to access the starter motor housing. This is located between the engine and the gearbox and can be removed by unscrewing its fixing bolts and disconnecting the power cables.

After the old starter motor has been removed, you can replace it with a new spare part, reassembling all previously removed components.
