Camshaft Timing Oil Control Valve Assembly: Inspection

INSPECT CAMSHAFT TIMING OIL CONTROL VALVE ASSEMBLY
1. Resistance inspection.
  1. Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between the terminals.
    Resistance:
    
    6.9 to 7.9 Ω at 20°C (68°F)
  If necessary, replace the camshaft oil control valve assembly.
2. Movement inspection.
  1. Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal 1 and 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 oil control valve assembly.

HINT:

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