Removal And Installation: Left

REMOVAL 

1. Disconnect and isolate the negative battery cable. If equipped with an Intelligent Battery Sensor (IBS), disconnect the IBS connector first before disconnecting the negative battery cable.
2. Mark the intake variable valve timing solenoid and the exhaust variable valve timing solenoid with a paint pen or equivalent so that they may be reinstalled in their original locations.
   NOTE: Mark the variable valve timing solenoid connectors with a paint pen or equivalent so that they may be reinstalled in their original locations.
   NOTE: The intake and exhaust solenoids are not interchangeable.
3. Disconnect the electrical connector from the intake variable valve timing solenoid.

INSTALLATION 

Follow the removal procedure in reverse for general reassembly of the components on the vehicle. The steps listed below are calling out specific procedures that should be followed during installation.

• Install the variable valve timing solenoid seals. The seals can be reused if not damaged.
• Refer to the markings made at disassembly and install the intake variable valve timing solenoid in the original location.
• Securely tighten the mounting bolts.
• The Cam/Crank Variation Relearn procedure must be performed using the scan tool anytime there has been a repair/replacement made to a powertrain system, for example: flywheel, valvetrain, camshaft and/or crankshaft sensors or components.
