Actually you must use a Denso, the OEM manufacturer for the Odyssey.* It can be a rebuilt, but should be one rebuilt by Denso. Apparently the real Denso should be available at NAPA.
I\u2019ve been using Denso remans lately because a lot of the cheap remans are junk and a won\u2019t make it a year.
I am not sure what year your odyssey is, but I know you can go to rockauto.com and find the Denso remanufactured alternator that is the best one to get.
All the others tend to go bad within a year or less.
Ordered a denso reman alt for my 08 tsx last year and it fixed charging system issues I kept having with aftermarket alternators:)
I think the Denso alternator is the ONLY remanufactured alternator I will buy. I've been burned too many times trying other remanufactured brands.
But I typically always buy NEW alternators from RockAuto. Sometimes the bearing is bad out of the box so I have to return it and get another. But when I get a quiet one, they seem to work fine. Nice and steady voltage output around 14.3V
Just buy a reman denso
Ok, so it's a toyota so odds are it's a denso or denso style alternator. I used to rebuild Alternators, you will need access to test certain parts like the regulator, or diode trio, or the windings to see where it's failing.
Personally I’d go with a Denso 27060‑50230. More expensive but it’s an OE part not third party. The one in your car was originally a Denso and it lasted almost 30 years, right?
If and when it does replace it with a denso and enjoy another 200k+ miles of no problems.
Look into a Denso remanufactured alternator. They are the Honda OE brand and are designed to work with Honda's dual-mode charging system. You can find them for under $300 at places like Rockauto or NAPA. I recently replaced mine on a '13 Honda CRV with no issues.
