The starter is one of the most important parts within the GMC Terrain system since it is utilized in order to start the functioning of the engine by converting electrical energy originating from the battery into mechanical energy. This starts when the ignition key is turned and energizes the starter's solenoid which is wired to the battery via big size wire. In its turn, solenoid gets the starter motor running that starts to engage the starter drive gear with the flywheel or flexplate ring gear in order to crank the engine. The starter includes an armature, field coils or permanent magnets, and a gear system that augments the torque supplied to an engine flywheel as the starting process is under way. Through the past years, the starter of the GMC Terrain starter predominantly followed an electric starter model, which has usually safety measures of the neutral switch safety in case of an automatic transmission and clutch switch for safety in cases of the manual transmission to avoid the starting the engine while the gear is engaged. First OE starters are rather sturdy, providing much torque, but they may fail when working on high-compression engines installed in modified GMC Terrains, and, thus, require high-performance starters. All in all, it is clear that the GMC Terrain's starter is crucial for its functioning with the help of the electrical and mechanical connections for proper work of the engine. Most replacement starters are identical to the original equipment starters used in GMC Terrain vehicles, however, higher output or otherwise modified starters might be necessary for Terrain vehicles with modified or high-compression engines to prevent problems such as starter or kickback failure.
