Product Details

Denso reman starters are rebuilt to restore factory-style starting performance while reusing serviceable core components. During remanufacturing, the armature and field coils are electrically tested, the commutator is refinished, and critical wear items are replaced to help deliver consistent cranking torque. The Denso 280-0175 is a practical OE-style replacement for drivers needing reliable starting performance in cold or hot weather conditions.

Compatible With 2001-2003 Toyota RAV4, N/A; 1998-2001 Toyota Camry, N/A; 2000 Toyota Camry, N/A; and 1998 Lexus ES300, N/A. This part cross-references Toyota 28100-74270 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Slow or weak engine cranking
• No-start conditions caused by starter wear
• Intermittent starting from worn electrical contacts
• Voltage loss at the starter terminals
• Starting performance issues in varying temperatures

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s original starter specifications before installation, including 12-volt system requirements, 1.2 kW rating, and counterclockwise rotation. Confirm fitment against the exact year, make, model, and notes listed for Toyota Camry, Toyota RAV4, and Lexus ES300 applications. Inspect battery condition, cable integrity, and charging system output during replacement to avoid repeat starting complaints.

Quality Assurance

Denso remanufactured starters are bench-tested after remanufacturing to confirm factory-original performance targets. The reman process also supports resource reuse by returning serviceable materials to use in replacement automotive applications.
