The Honda 31610-ZE1-833ZB Control Box Assembly (Exp-Alert) (Bright Red) is a genuine OEM component designed for GX140 and GX160 horizontal shaft engines. As a direct Honda OEM part, it carries the same specifications as the original unit and drops into place without modification. Confirm your engine's serial number against the fitment table before ordering, as Honda supersedes parts at serial breaks and the correct assembly varies by production range. This bright red Exp-Alert control box is the exact color-coded variant your engine requires — match it to the unit on your machine to ensure you have the right assembly.
Key Features
- Genuine Honda OEM Construction — sourced directly from Honda, this control box assembly meets the original design intent for the Exp-Alert system on GX140 and GX160 horizontal shaft engines
- Correct Color Variant — the Bright Red designation is a functional identifier; verify that the assembly on your engine matches this color before ordering
- Direct OEM Replacement — engineered to the same specifications as the original, this assembly installs directly in place of the factory unit with no rework required
- Serial Number Verification Recommended — Honda revises parts at defined serial breaks, so cross-check your engine's serial number against the compatibility table to confirm this is the correct assembly for your unit
The Exp-Alert control box is the housing and switching assembly that manages the engine's low-oil alert system. It monitors the oil level sensor signal and triggers a warning or shutdown response when oil pressure or level drops below a safe operating threshold, protecting the engine from damage caused by running without adequate lubrication. When this assembly fails or is damaged, the protective alert function is lost, leaving the engine vulnerable to low-oil events that can cause rapid internal wear or seizure.
