Camshaft Timing Oil Control Valve Assembly: Inspection: Inspection

  1. INSPECT CAMSHAFT TIMING OIL CONTROL VALVE ASSEMBLY 
    1. Resistance inspection.
      1. Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between the terminals.

        Standard resistance

        6.9 to 7.9 Ω at 20°C (68°F)

        If necessary, replace the camshaft timing oil control valve assembly.

      1. Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal 1 and the negative (-) lead to terminal 2, and check the movement of the valve.
        NOTE:

        Confirm that the valve moves freely and does not stick in any position.

        If necessary, replace the camshaft timing oil control valve assembly.

        HINT: 

        Accumulation of foreign objects causes subtle pressure leaks. The subtle pressure leaks will cause the camshaft to advance, and this will cause a DTC to be set.
