If a malfunction is suspected in the starting circuit, it's essential not to immediately attribute it to a faulty starter. Instead, perform a systematic inspection of various components and connections to identify the root cause. Ensure the battery cable clamps are clean and securely fastened at the battery terminals. Assess the condition of the battery cables and replace any damaged ones. Test the battery's condition, and if it fails any tests, replace it with a new battery. Examine the wiring and connections associated with the starter. Check the tightness of the starter mounting bolts. Inspect the relevant fuses in the engine compartment fuse box and replace any blown fuses while addressing the underlying issue. Verify the proper operation of the ignition switch circuit. Examine the starter relay for any potential problems. Lastly, assess the adjustment of the Park/Neutral Position (PNP) switch. If the starter does not engage when the ignition switch is turned to the start position, verify the presence of battery voltage at the starter solenoid's positive terminal. Connect a 12-volt test light or voltmeter and have an assistant turn the ignition switch to start, expecting a bright test light or battery voltage reading. Lack of voltage points to issues in the fuses or starter relay within the starting system. If voltage is present but the starter remains inactive, remove the starter for bench testing. In cases of slow starter cranking, perform tests for starter cranking voltage and current draw, monitoring that the battery voltage does not drop below 9.6 volts and the starter does not exceed 160 amps, typically. Check the battery's condition and specifications, ensuring it meets the application's requirements. Ensure clean, corrosion-free battery terminals and cables, and consider warming the battery and engine block in extreme cold conditions. If the starter receives voltage but fails to activate, bench test it by connecting it to a test battery, with positive and negative jumpers, and observe the solenoid's plunger, shift lever, and overrunning clutch's movement upon applying battery voltage to the solenoid S terminal. If the pinion drive extends but does not rotate, the solenoid is operational but the starter is faulty. If there is no movement but a solenoid click, both the solenoid or starter are defective. If the solenoid plunger extends and rotates the pinion drive, the starter assembly is functioning correctly.

During the installation of the starter motor for 4.3L V6 (2018 and later), 4.8L, 5.3L, and 6.0L V8 engines, you should proceed with the installation in reverse order, ensuring that the starter motor mounting bolts are tightened to the specified torque.
