OEX will keep you moving

THROUGH RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT, OEX CONTINUES TO IRON OUT FAULTS COMMON IN OE PRODUCTS. HERE WE LOOK AT REDUCING FRUSTRATION AND WASTED TIME WHEN YOU HAVE A SIMILAR S AND RLO TERMINAL FUNCTION ON THE SAME APPLICATION

OEX has long been regarded as a leader in aftermarket alternators, starter motors, and spare parts.

They stride ahead in innovation and their mission is to challenge the norm, enhance durability, improve performance, and release new, pioneering products to the market. Now, celebrating the addition of over 50 part numbers in their alternator and starter motor range, OEX continues to be New Zealand’s and Australia’s brand of choice for automotive specialists.

According to NAPA Auto Parts rotating electrical merchandise manager, Andrew Little, one of the reasons OEX remains the region’s top supplier is because when products are released to the market, they look at major OE products and take out common faults and frustrations so that customers can plug and play. This has resulted in reduced warranties and less wasted time for OEX customers.

This is evident in OEX’s most recent work with solving a common problem in identifying the correct regulator function for 2003–12 Camry and RAV4s with similar 2AZ-FE four-cylinder 2.4L engines. OEX range DXA582 and DXA583 alternators cover these applications, but as both units have the same regulator with a single terminal function difference, it is difficult to diagnose whether an S or RLO regulator is required.

The OEX team has now solved this problem with a simple tester (ACX6250). The ACX6250 simply plugs into the harness and after you turn on the ignition (without starting the vehicle), the tester will show which regulator function you require. If S, use DXA582. If RLO, use DXA583.

However, it’s not just these two applications — the ACX6250 unit will work on Lexus, Hiace, Kluger, and others with similar issues. When you have a similar S and RLO terminal function on the same application, this tester can diagnose quickly, remove frustration, and minimise wasted time.
