INSPECTION

1. INSPECT CAMSHAFT TIMING OIL CONTROL VALVE ASSEMBLY

a. Resistance inspection.
1. Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between the terminals.

Standard resistance: 6.9 to 7.9 ohms at 20 degree C (68 degree F)




b. 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 the valve moves freely and does not stick in any position.

HINT: Bad returning of the valve by catching foreign objects causes subtle pressure leak. The subtle pressure leaks will cause the cam to advance, and this condition will set a DTC.
