Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Inspection [12/2024 - ]: Procedure
- INSPECT CAM TIMING OIL CONTROL SOLENOID ASSEMBLY
HINT:
Use the same procedure for the intake side and exhaust side.
- Check the resistance.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
*a Component without harness connected
(Cam Timing Oil Control Solenoid Assembly)Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition Result 1 (-) - 2 (+) 0°C (32°F) 6.3 to 7.3 Ω Ω 1 (-) - 2 (+) 20°C (68°F) 6.9 to 7.9 Ω Ω 1 (-) - 2 (+) 40°C (104°F) 7.4 to 8.6 Ω Ω If the result is not as specified, replace the cam timing oil control solenoid assembly.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
- Stroke Amount Inspection
- Using vernier caliper, measure length (A) and (B) with the shaft of the cam timing oil control solenoid assembly set in the respective positions shown in the illustration.NOTE:
Do not apply auxiliary battery voltage to the terminals of the cam timing oil control solenoid assembly.
HINT:
If the shaft does not extend under its own weight, extend the shaft with your fingers.
*a Shaft Side Facing Down *b Shaft Side Facing Up *c Shaft - Calculate the stroke amount based on the difference of length (A) and (B).
Standard
Specified Condition Result 4.3 mm or higher
0.169 in. or highermm
in.HINT:
Stroke amount = length (A) - length (B)
If the value is not as specified, replace the cam timing oil control solenoid assembly.
- Using vernier caliper, measure length (A) and (B) with the shaft of the cam timing oil control solenoid assembly set in the respective positions shown in the illustration.
- Check the resistance.

When to See a Mechanic
Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:
- • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
