Product Line Details

Denso Reman Starter units are remanufactured to restore factory-style function using tested internal components and replacement wear parts. The reman process includes electrical testing of the armature and field coils, commutator refinishing, replacement of terminals and fasteners with copper components, and bench testing before release. This approach supports dependable starting performance in cold and hot weather conditions while helping reduce waste through reuse of serviceable core materials.

This part cross-references Bosch SR6468X for the same application.

What This Starter Helps Solve

• Slow or weak engine cranking
• No-start conditions caused by starter failure
• Intermittent starting after key engagement
• Electrical wear at the starter terminals or internal components
• Starting performance loss in high-heat or cold-weather operation
