Detailed Description

The SKP SK17728 is a 12V starter designed for vehicles that use a Mitsuba PMGR-style starting system. Its permanent magnet gear reduction construction supports strong engine cranking in a compact starter layout, while the counterclockwise rotation matches the original application requirements for the listed Honda and Acura models. If you are replacing a worn starter on a Honda Odyssey, Acura MDX, or Honda Pilot, this unit provides the correct electrical and rotational configuration for those fitments.

This part cross-references BBB Industries 17728 and Quality-Built 17729N for the same application. The SK17728 part number is also associated with several OE and aftermarket interchange references used across these Honda and Acura starting system applications.

Common Problems This Starter Can Address

• No-crank condition with a charged battery
• Intermittent starting on Honda Accord or Acura TL models
• Starter wear related to high-mileage starting system use

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s starter rotation, voltage, and Mitsuba PMGR configuration before installation. Compare the original unit’s mounting and electrical connections to the SKP SK17728 to confirm match-up on your Honda Accord, Honda Odyssey, Acura CL, or Acura MDX application. Inspect battery condition, cable integrity, and charging system output during replacement to avoid repeat starting issues.
