Replacement Part Numbers
The BDELI 10914N replaces or cross-references:
1091410914N31200-5A2-A51312005A2A5131200-5A2-A52312005A2A52SM74009SM740-09SM-74009
The Honda OE numbers are the strongest fitment references:
- 31200-5A2-A51
- 31200-5A2-A52
The versions without hyphens represent alternate formatting of the same Honda numbers.
Confirm Transmission Compatibility
The supplied listing does not identify transmission restrictions. The 2.4L Accord was offered with different transmissions depending on model year and trim.
Before ordering, confirm:
- CVT or manual transmission
- Sedan or Coupe
- Original starter number
- Production date
- Mounting-flange configuration
- Pinion and electrical-terminal arrangement
Do not assume that every 2.4L Accord transmission uses the identical starter unless the OE number matches.
Product Specifications
The supplied information confirms:
| Specification | Value |
|---|---|
| Brand | BDELI |
| Part number | 10914N |
| Condition | New |
| Quantity | One starter |
| Warranty | One-year manufacturer replacement |
The listing does not provide:
- Voltage
- Kilowatt rating
- Rotation
- Pinion tooth count
- Mounting-hole count
- Starter type
- Mounting hardware contents
Do not copy these specifications from another 10914 listing unless BDELI confirms that its exact unit uses the same configuration.
New Replacement Construction
BDELI states that this starter is manufactured using new premium components and controlled production methods.
Advertised benefits include:
- Consistent cranking performance
- New internal wear components
- Controlled mounting dimensions
- Reliable solenoid operation
- Direct replacement on confirmed applications
- No remanufactured core
These should be presented as manufacturer claims unless independent test documentation is available.
ISO and IATF Certifications
BDELI states that its manufacturing facilities maintain:
- ISO 9001 certification
- IATF 16949 certification
These standards concern quality-management processes used during manufacturing. They do not independently certify that one starter fits every vehicle with a 2.4L Honda engine.
The listing also states that starters undergo professional testing using equipment from D&V Electronics in Canada. Specific test procedures and individual results are not supplied.
Diagnosing Starter Failure
Common symptoms of a failing starter include:
- Single click without cranking
- Rapid clicking
- Intermittent no-crank
- Slow cranking with a tested battery
- Starter spinning without engagement
- Grinding during startup
- Electrical burning odor
- Abnormal current draw
Similar symptoms can result from:
- Weak battery
- Corroded battery terminals
- Damaged positive battery cable
- Poor engine ground
- Faulty starter relay
- Ignition-switch problem
- Park/Neutral switch fault
- Clutch-interlock problem
- Immobilizer fault
- Damaged ring-gear teeth
- Internal engine damage
Test the battery and starting circuit before replacing the starter. A new starter remains powerless against electricity that never reaches it.
Honda Immobilizer Considerations
A Honda immobilizer or key-recognition problem may prevent normal starting.
Check for:
- Flashing immobilizer indicator
- Unrecognized key
- Damaged key transponder
- Low keyless-remote battery where applicable
- Stored security-system codes
- Starter-inhibit commands
Replacing the starter will not repair an immobilizer or key-registration issue.
Battery and Voltage-Drop Testing
Before replacement, inspect:
- Battery open-circuit voltage
- Battery load-test result
- Positive-cable voltage drop
- Negative-cable voltage drop
- Starter-trigger voltage
- Engine-to-body ground
- Battery-terminal condition
- Starter relay
- Main fuses
Voltage-drop testing should be performed while cranking. A cable can pass a basic continuity test but fail under starter load.
Fitment Verification
Before purchasing, compare:
- Vehicle year
- Accord or CR-V model
- 2.4L engine
- Transmission
- Original starter number
- Mounting-flange shape
- Bolt-hole spacing
- Starter nose length
- Solenoid position
- Battery-terminal location
- Trigger-terminal design
- Pinion configuration
The NHTSA VIN decoder can help identify the vehicle and engine, although the removed starter should still be compared.
Installation Preparation
Before removing the original starter:
- Confirm the 2.4L engine.
- Record the original Honda number.
- Verify transmission compatibility.
- Disconnect the negative battery terminal.
- Photograph the electrical connections.
- Compare the new and original starter assemblies.
- Obtain Honda’s torque specifications.
- Confirm whether mounting hardware is included.
The supplied listing does not state that new mounting bolts are included.
Installation Overview
A typical installation includes:
- Disconnecting the negative battery cable.
- Removing intake components that restrict starter access.
- Labeling the starter electrical connections.
- Disconnecting the main battery cable and trigger wire.
- Supporting the original starter.
- Removing the mounting bolts.
- Comparing the original and BDELI units.
- Inspecting accessible ring-gear teeth.
- Installing the replacement starter.
- Torquing the mounting hardware correctly.
- Reconnecting the electrical terminals.
- Securing cables away from heat and moving components.
- Reinstalling the intake system.
- Reconnecting the battery.
- Testing starter engagement and disengagement.
Starter access can be tight beneath the intake system. Allow the engine to cool and follow the vehicle-specific Honda procedure.
Post-Installation Checks
After installation, verify:
- Strong and consistent cranking
- Immediate pinion engagement
- Immediate disengagement after startup
- No grinding
- No abnormal clicking
- Secure electrical connections
- Correct cable routing
- Normal charging-system voltage
- No warning indicators
Stop testing if the starter grinds or remains engaged.
One-Year Replacement Coverage
BDELI advertises a one-year manufacturer replacement policy supported by the manufacturer and seller.
Before purchasing, confirm:
- Warranty start date
- Proof-of-purchase requirements
- Return-shipping responsibility
- Labor reimbursement
- Diagnostic documentation
- Commercial-use exclusions
- Consequential-damage coverage
“Double assurance” describes the seller’s support arrangement; it does not necessarily create two separate warranties.
Frequently Asked Questions

Final Verdict
The BDELI 10914N provides a straightforward replacement option for compatible ninth-generation Accord and refreshed fourth-generation CR-V models with the 2.4L engine. Its narrow application range and Honda OE interchange numbers make fitment easier to verify than many broad aftermarket listings.
Confirm the engine, transmission and original starter number before ordering. Exclude V6, Hybrid and CR-V applications outside the stated 2015–2016 range.
