Product Details

Denso remanufactured starters are rebuilt with a test-and-replace process that focuses on electrical integrity, durability, and repeatable starting performance. The 280-0167 uses high-voltage testing on the armature and field coils, while terminals and fasteners are replaced with copper components to support clean current transfer. Each unit is bench-tested before release to verify factory-original operation. This part cross-references Toyota 28100-62050 and Bosch SR3245X for the same application.

Compatible With 1996-2001 Toyota 4Runner, N/A. The Denso 280-0167 is a direct-fit reman starter choice for 4Runner owners looking for OE-style electrical starting performance in a remanufactured unit.

Common Starting Issues It May Address

• Starter noise caused by worn internal components

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s starter specifications before installation, including 12-volt system requirements and clockwise rotation. Inspect battery condition, cable connections, and charging-system output before replacing the starter, since poor voltage supply can affect starter performance. Confirm fitment against the vehicle’s year and application details for 1996-2001 Toyota 4Runner models.

Quality Assurance

Denso reman starters are processed through a rigorous inspection, replacement, and bench-test routine to support consistent OE-style operation. The remanufacturing approach also reuses serviceable materials, making it a practical choice for buyers who want a rebuilt electrical component with controlled testing and verified performance.
