Precautions: 

A.  Inoperative near at high temperatures or near a fire to avoid cleaning agents being ignited 

or exploded. 

B.  The length of wire should be more than 3m. It is recommended to install the wire relay. 

C.  During the cleaning process, do not scratch the O- ring, scratch or knock the surface of 

the valve or drop the valve.. 

D.  After repair, reinstall the valve VVT and tightening the bolt to 10Nm. 

E. Replace 

repeatedly 

cleanedVVTvalve. 

1.  For disconnection of negative 

cable of battery, refer to "2.11.8.1 
disconnection process of battery 
negative cable". 

2.  Refer to 2.12.8.4 "Replacement of 

VVT Solenoid Valve and Filter 
Cleaning" to dismantle the VVT 
Solenoid Valve. 

3.  Clean the VVT solenoid valve 

hole, return hole, the chamber. 

Note: During the cleaning process, 
keep the VVT solenoid valve and 
wiring harness connector upright, 
otherwise the cleaning agent will easily 
enter the VVT solenoid valve and cause 
internal damage.
