Detailed Description

Denso 280-4302 is a remanufactured starter designed around Mitsubishi OE family specifications and built for direct replacement use on confirmed Nissan and Suzuki applications. It is engineered to provide maximum cranking torque under a range of operating conditions, with attention to electrical integrity, durability, and consistent engagement.

This part cross-references Bosch SR2294X for the same application.

What It Helps Solve

• Slow cranking during engine start-up
• No-start conditions caused by starter wear
• Intermittent starting from worn electrical contacts
• Weak starter engagement in hot or cold weather
• Voltage loss related to aged terminals or internal components

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s year, make, model, and starter rotation before installation. Confirm the application against the listed fitment for Nissan Frontier, Nissan Xterra, Nissan Pathfinder, and Suzuki Equator models. Inspect battery condition, cable connections, and charging-system output before replacing the starter so the new unit is not affected by upstream electrical issues.

Quality Assurance

Denso remanufactured starters are processed through a detailed test-and-replacement routine, including high-voltage testing of internal components, replacement of wear items, refinishing of commutators, and final bench testing. That process supports consistent OE-style performance for part number 280-4302.
