How is the Starter Motor Installed on Dodge Caliber?

Connect the starter motor wiring first and then tighten the nut on the battery cable to a value of 10 Nm (90 in. lbs.). Installing the starter motor places it in the lower half of the engine, where you should position it loosely to be sure it is set properly. After that, set the throttle body and the bracket in the engine. Place the bolts on the bracket and tighten them to 54 Nm (40 ft. lbs.). Afterward, attach the electrical cable from the throttle body, mount the air cleaner box and its inlet tube and finally link the battery's negative cable.

The Starter of a Dodge Caliber converts battery electric energy into mechanical energy which the Starter uses to rotate Dodge Caliber the engine crankshaft. This allows the Dodge Caliber engine to begin its operation. The device picks up current from the battery through a heavy-gauge wire and is energized by a solenoid mounted externally. Inside the Starter motor's housing, you will find a rotating armature that is situated between field coils or permanent magnets. Once the ignition key is rotated to START, the Starter control circuit energises both the coils as well as the armature. This creates an electromagnetic rotation. As the motion spins the Starter drive at the rear of the armature shaft, the solenoid moves the drive gear into mesh with the flywheel or flexplate ring gear. As soon as the motor starts to run, the teeth slip or disengage, the gear is freed up to prevent damage to the engine. Certain units make use of gear reduction whereby a gear reduction between the armature and drive provides more turning power. The Dodge Caliber's safety features include a Starter relay and switches that stop engagement when the automatic transmission isn't in neutral or the clutch pedal is not pressed on manual versions. The owner can always rely on the Dodge Caliber to start.
