The electric motor that turns the engine over until it fires, engaging the flywheel ring gear through a pinion that retracts once the engine runs. It is distinct from the starter relay, which merely switches its supply, and from the starter/generator, which replaces it entirely on mild hybrids.
Its faults are usually blamed on it and usually are not. A starter draws hundreds of amps, so everything in that circuit loses voltage only when the current is flowing — a battery that reads a healthy resting voltage, a corroded terminal, or a tired earth strap all produce slow cranking with a sound motor. Voltage drop under load is the measurement that separates them; a continuity check proves nothing here. The engine can be the cause too: thick, wrong-grade or very cold oil makes it genuinely harder to turn.
Stop-start changes the arithmetic completely. A conventional starter might see thirty thousand operations in its life; a stop-start vehicle can reach that in a year, so those cars use reinforced starters and matched AGM or EFB batteries. Fitting an ordinary battery or a standard starter to one is a common shortcut that fails early — and the module notices, because it measures cranking speed and will disable stop-start rather than risk a slow restart at a junction.

CarGeek es una obra de referencia, no un manual de taller. Sus páginas se escriben a partir de fuentes públicas y de lo que otras personas han comprobado, nunca a partir de la documentación de servicio del fabricante, de modo que pueden ser incorrectas o incompletas para su vehículo concreto. Parte de lo que describen entraña un riesgo real: alta tensión, combustible a presión, energía acumulada y piezas calientes o en movimiento.
Antes de actuar sobre cualquier indicación, hágala verificar por una persona con formación técnica siguiendo el procedimiento propio del fabricante para su vehículo. Nada de lo que hay aquí sustituye ese procedimiento.
An engine cannot start itself. It has to be turned fast enough to draw in mixture, compress it and get the first combustion to happen — a couple of hundred rpm on a petrol engine,...
