CAMSHAFT TIMING OIL CONTROL VALVE ASSEMBLY

Condition	Specified Condition
Battery positive (+) voltage is applied	Valve moves in left arrow direction shown in Fig 2
Battery positive (+) voltage is cut off	Valve moves in right arrow direction shown in Fig 2

If the result is not as specified, replace the oil control valve assembly. If the valve cannot return properly because of foreign matter, a small pressure leak in the advanced direction may occur and a DTC may be output.
