FAQ-Honda 31200-R40-A01 Starter Motor Assembly for Accord

Q1: Is part number 31200-R40-A01 compatible with all Honda Accord models from 2008 to 2012?

A: Not necessarily. The eighth-generation Accord (2008-2012) featured several engine types, primarily the 2.4L K24 (e.g., K24Z2, K24Z3) and the 3.5L V6 J35 (e.g., J35Z2). Part number 31200-R40-A01 is primarily associated with the 2.4L four-cylinder engine models. It is NOT compatible with the 3.5L V6 engine, which uses a different starter. The Hybrid variant also uses a different part. Confirming your specific engine displacement is crucial.

Q2: What does "Starter Motor Assembly" mean? Does it include all necessary components?

A: "Assembly" here refers to a complete unit, meaning the product is a ready-to-install package. It includes the starter motor body, the integrated solenoid, and the drive gear mechanism, all pre-assembled. However, the standard package typically does NOT include separate mounting bolts, wiring harness connectors, or gaskets, as these are usually reused from the original vehicle.

Q3: Is this a Genuine Honda part, an OEM part, or an aftermarket part? Are there quality differences?

A: We offer the following clearly labeled options:
Genuine Honda Part: With Honda packaging and labels, at a premium price.
New OEM Part: Manufactured by Honda's original supplier (e.g., Denso), identical in specifications and performance to the Genuine part. This is the most recommended option for its value, but without Honda packaging.
High-Quality Aftermarket Part: Made by reputable brands (e.g., Bosch, Remy), meeting or exceeding OE standards.
OEM and high-quality aftermarket parts are functionally equivalent to Genuine parts in reliability. The main differences lie in branding, packaging, and warranty service.

Q4: Does installation require programming or resetting the vehicle's computer?

A: No, it does not. For the 2008-2012 Honda Accord, replacing the starter is a purely mechanical and electrical procedure. No software programming or adaptation of the vehicle’s ECU is required. The standard process involves disconnecting the battery negative terminal, replacing the part, and reconnecting the battery. Afterwards, you may need to reset the auto-up/down function of the power windows and the clock, but these are simple user operations.

Q5: If my car is a 2008 model manufactured in 2007, or a 2012 model made in 2011, is this part number still applicable?

A: The primary basis for parts compatibility is the "Model Year," not the specific production month. Therefore, your 2008-2012 model year vehicle should use parts specified for that model year. Part number 31200-R40-A01 may have been in continuous use during this period, but to ensure 100% accuracy, the best practice is to check the part number label on the original starter removed from your vehicle or use your 17-digit VIN for a query.
