Installation Notes

Starter replacement involves high-current electrical connections and should be performed by a qualified technician. Disconnect the negative battery cable before service and follow the applicable Acura or Honda procedure. Compare the replacement with the original starter for mounting flange, pinion, nose depth, rotation, solenoid position, terminals, connectors, and heat-shield or bracket requirements.

Inspect battery condition, cables, grounds, fuses, relays, ignition or start-control circuits, and ring-gear teeth before replacing the starter. Clean and tighten all electrical and ground connections to specification. After installation, verify correct cranking engagement, release, charging-system operation, and the absence of abnormal noise or cable heating.
