Installation Notes and Tips

Verify voltage, rotation, and power rating before installation. Confirm the vehicle’s starter application by year, make, model, and emissions configuration, especially for Nissan Sentra and Nissan Cube models with California and non-California notes. Inspect battery condition, cable ends, and charging system output before replacing the starter so the new unit is not affected by upstream electrical issues.
