What is the starter of my Toyota Picnic for?
The starter turns out to be an electric motor within the engine of this Toyota Picnic. This is because it extracts electrical power from the battery in order to turn, and starts the impulse to the engine so that it ignites. So, if you want to verify that it is a starter problem and not something else, we advise you to read the file on startup problems. Now that we've identified the problem, it's time to get to the heart of the matter.
