Variable Valve Timing Actuator Inspection

VARIABLE VALVE TIMING ACTUATOR INSPECTION

Caution
^ Variable valve timing actuator cannot be disassembled because it is a precision unit.


1. Confirm that the groove of the rotor and notch of the cover at the variable valve timing actuator are aligned and fixed.
^ If the notch and the groove are not aligned, rotate the rotor toward the valve timing retard position by hand until they are in place.
^ If the rotor and cover are not fixed even though their notch and groove are aligned, replace the variable valve timing actuator.
