        *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.

    2. Stroke Amount Inspection
      1. 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.

        *b Shaft Side Facing Up
        *c Shaft
      2. 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 higher
        mm
        in.

        HINT: 

        Stroke amount = length (A) - length (B)

        If the value is not as specified, replace the cam timing oil control solenoid assembly.
