Product Line Details

Denso Reman Starter units are remanufactured to restore factory-style electrical starting performance using tested internal components and replacement wear parts. The reman process includes bench testing before release, helping maintain consistent output for daily driving and cold- or hot-weather starts. Part number 280-0163 is part of Denso’s OE-focused starter line for applications that call for a direct replacement with the correct voltage, rotation, and power rating.

Fitment

• Fits 1995-2000 Lexus SC300, N/A; 1.4 kW reman starter
• Fits 1993-1998 Toyota Supra, N/A; 1.4 kW reman starter

What It Helps Address

• Slow or weak engine cranking
• No-start conditions caused by starter wear
• Intermittent starting from worn brushes or terminals
• Voltage loss through aged starter electrical components
• Starting performance concerns in hot or cold weather

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s starter specifications before installation, including 12-volt system requirements, clockwise rotation, and the correct OE-style application. Confirm the part number 280-0163 against the existing starter and vehicle fitment for Lexus SC300, Toyota Supra, or Lexus GS300 models. This part cross-references Toyota (e.g., 28100-46140) for the same application.

Quality Assurance

Denso reman starters are bench-tested after remanufacturing to confirm factory-original performance. Internal electrical components are tested and wear items are replaced to support dependable starting performance in the intended applications.
