FAQ-OEM Starter for Kia 361002G300 Starter Assembly

Q1: Is part number 361002G300 a genuine Kia factory part number? Does “OEM Starter” mean it is an original part?

A: Yes, 361002G300 is the genuine Kia/Hyundai Motor Group factory part number. The standard meaning of “OEM Starter” here is that the component is manufactured by Kia's original equipment supplier (e.g., Hyundai Mobis, Denso, Valeo, etc.), and is identical in materials, specifications, and performance to the Genuine Part. The key difference is that it typically does not come in official Kia packaging or with the factory part label, but offers the exact same quality, fit, and reliability at a more competitive price. If you require a “Genuine” part with original packaging, please specify when ordering.

Q2: Which specific Kia models, years, and engines is this starter compatible with?

A: Part number 361002G300 is primarily used in multiple mainstream Kia models from the mid-to-late 2010s. Common applications include (but are not limited to):
Kia Sorento (UM platform): For specific model years with the 2.4L GDI (Theta II) or 3.3L V6 (Lambda II) engine.
Kia Cadenza (VG platform): For specific model years with the 3.3L V6 (Lambda II) engine.
Kia Optima (TF platform): Possibly for specific model years with the 2.4L or 2.0T engine.
Because the same part number can be used across different engines, the most critical step is to perform a precise query using your vehicle's VIN to confirm compatibility with your specific configuration.

Q3: My vehicle has the Idle Stop and Go (ISG) function. Is this starter (361002G300) compatible?

A: Yes, it is highly likely. Part number 361002G300 is typically the reinforced starter specifically designed for vehicles equipped with the Idle Stop and Go (ISG) system. It features a higher-specification motor and more durable drive mechanism to handle frequent start cycles. If your vehicle is equipped with ISG, this is very likely the correct part. Please verify in the product description or confirm via your VIN whether your vehicle has ISG and if this part number corresponds to it.

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

A: For the applicable Kia models, replacing the starter motor itself typically does not require independent software programming for the part. However, after disconnecting the vehicle battery for service, it is strongly recommended to use a professional diagnostic scan tool (e.g., GDS, Kia's) to perform the following standard procedures:
Clear all fault codes that may have been triggered by the power interruption and service.
Perform necessary adaptive value resets or relearns for related control modules (e.g., Engine ECU, Battery Management System).
Check and calibrate the Idle Stop and Go system (if equipped).
This is not programming the starter, but it is crucial for ensuring the stable operation of all vehicle electronic systems and preventing warning lights.

Q5: Does the product package include mounting bolts? Do I need to purchase them separately?

A: The standard OEM component package typically includes only the starter motor assembly itself. Mounting bolts are usually NOT included and are intended to be reused from your vehicle's original bolts. According to Hyundai/Kia service procedures, these bolts are generally considered reusable, but they must be inspected for stretching, damage, or corrosion. If the bolts are in poor condition, new replacements must be purchased separately according to factory specifications to ensure installation reliability.
