1. OEM Standard Mitsuba PMGR Technology
This starter adopts original Mitsuba SM612 series PMGR permanent magnet reduction design, far more efficient than traditional 1.2kW low-power versions. The built-in high-strength permanent magnet cuts power loss, generates higher cranking torque at low battery voltage, and delivers stable cold-start performance in freezing or high-temperature environments. All internal components including armature, planetary gears, brush holder and solenoid strictly follow Mitsuba OEM manufacturing standards, eliminating weak startup issues common on generic aftermarket starters.
2. Exact OE Replacement & Unique Solenoid Terminal Design
It serves as the factory upgrade replacement for Honda OE numbers 31200-PPA-A03, 31200-PPA-A05 and superseded part 31200-PPA-A04. Unlike visually similar Lester 17870 starters for Honda Accord, its solenoid terminal features a customized angle exclusive to 2002–2006 CR-V 2.4L (K24A1/K20A4 engines). No wiring modification or adjustment is required during installation to avoid circuit mismatch faults. Two mounting holes match original flange dimensions perfectly for lock-on installation.
3. Wide Cross-Reference Compatibility
Cross-referenced as Lester 17844, this unit matches hundreds of aftermarket part codes from WAI, Bosch, ACE, Nastra, NGK, Rayloc and more. It unifies multiple replacement SKUs for repair shops and parts wholesalers, simplifying inventory management and part lookup. Both brand-new and remanufactured units are available to meet different budget demands.
4. Upgraded 1.6kW High Power vs 1.2kW Base Model
Compared to the shorter 1.2kW variant (Lester 191-178), this 1.6kW model features an extended field casing and reinforced gear assembly. It generates stronger cranking force for frequent ignition cycles, heavy loads and cold mornings, lowering battery discharge pressure and extending the service life of your vehicle battery. Precision 9-tooth drive gear with hardened surface resists wear and gear stripping after thousands of startup cycles.
5. Rigorous Multi-Stage Quality Testing
Every starter undergoes full factory inspections including no-load rotation test, cranking torque test, solenoid actuation test and high-low temperature durability cycling. All moving parts use wear-resistant bushings and long-life carbon brushes to reduce maintenance frequency. The sealed housing blocks dust, moisture and engine oil splashes to prevent internal short circuits.
6. Perfect Vehicle Fitment
Exclusive fit for 2002–2006 Honda CR-V 2.4L (2354cc K24A1) and 2006 CR-V 2.0L K20A4 gasoline engines. Plug-and-play direct swap for original factory starters without cutting, drilling or auxiliary adapters, greatly shortening garage repair time.
