Product Details

Denso 280-4222 is part of the Reman Starter line, which focuses on OE-style electrical starting components rebuilt to strict test standards. The remanufacturing process includes inspection and replacement of wear items, electrical testing of critical components, and final bench verification. That approach supports consistent cranking performance for vehicles that rely on a compact, gear-reduction starter design.

Compatible With 2001-2004 Nissan Pathfinder and 2001-2003 INFINITI QX4, this starter matches the listed 1.4 kW application and clockwise rotation. This part cross-references Bosch SR2293X for the same application.

Common Starting Problems This Part Can Address

• Slow or weak engine cranking
• No-start condition caused by starter failure
• Intermittent starter engagement
• Electrical wear at terminals or internal contacts
• Starting issues in hot or cold weather

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s original starter specifications before installation, including voltage, rotation, and power rating. Confirm the mounting and electrical connections match the OE layout on your Pathfinder or QX4. Inspect battery condition, cable integrity, and charging-system output during replacement to avoid repeat starting complaints.

Quality Assurance

Denso reman starters are subjected to a detailed test-and-replacement process, including high-voltage testing of armatures and field coils, commutator refinishing, and final bench testing. The remanufactured design also supports resource reuse by returning serviceable materials to active use.
