FAQ-Honda 31200-5A2-A51 Motor Assembly, Starter for Accord

Q1: Is part number 31200-5A2-A51 compatible with all Honda Accord models from 2013 to 2016?

A: No. Part number 31200-5A2-A51 is specifically the reinforced starter designed for the ninth-generation Accord (2013-2016) equipped with the "Idle Stop" (auto start-stop) feature. It is primarily for models with the 2.4L Earth Dreams K24W engine that has Idle Stop (e.g., certain EX-L and above trims). It is NOT compatible with:
2.4L models WITHOUT the Idle Stop system
3.5L V6 engine models (they use a different part number)
The Hybrid variant
Verifying whether your vehicle is equipped with Idle Stop is a critical prerequisite for purchase.

Q2: What does "Motor Assembly, Starter" mean? Is it a complete, ready-to-install unit?

A: Yes. "Motor Assembly, Starter" refers to a complete "Starter Motor Assembly." It is a fully assembled, ready-to-install unit that includes the motor, integrated solenoid, and drive mechanism. This means you receive a complete replacement requiring no additional assembly. However, please note that mounting bolts and electrical harness connectors are typically NOT included and are intended to be reused from your vehicle's original parts.

Q3: Is this product a Genuine Honda part or an OEM part? Is the quality assured?

A: Products bearing this part number are typically one of two high-quality options:
Genuine Honda Part: With Honda packaging and labels, at a higher price point.
New OEM Part: Manufactured by Honda's original supplier (e.g., Denso), identical in specifications, materials, and performance to the Genuine part. This is the most recommended professional choice for its value, but usually without Honda packaging.
Both options offer reliable performance and a perfect fit. All products come with clear quality assurance and warranty.

Q4: After replacing this starter, is programming or a reset required using a diagnostic tool?

A: Typically, no specific programming for the starter itself is required. However, because this is for a vehicle with an auto start-stop system, after disconnecting the battery for replacement, it is recommended to use a professional diagnostic scan tool (e.g., Honda's HDS or a compatible OBD2 scanner) to perform the following:
Clear any fault codes that may have been triggered by the battery disconnect.
Perform a reset or relearn procedure for the Idle Stop system to ensure it functions correctly.
Potentially perform standardization for features like power windows.
While this is not mandatory "programming," it is considered best practice to ensure all systems, especially the Idle Stop, operate correctly and to prevent warning lights.

Q5: If my car is a 2013 model manufactured in 2012, or a 2016 model made in 2015, is this part number still applicable?

A: Compatibility depends on the Model Year, not the production month. As long as your vehicle is a 2013-2016 model year Accord equipped with the 2.4L engine and the Idle Stop feature, this part number should apply. However, due to potential minor configuration variances, the most accurate method is to provide your vehicle's VIN for final verification or to match the part number on the old unit.
