Oil Control Valve Inspection

S6JB0A1416015

Oil Control Valve

1) Inspect strainer (1) and mating surface (2) of oil 

control valve for clog or damage. Clean oil control 
valve if clog or foreign matter is present on strainer 
or mating surface of oil control valve.
Replace oil control valve if its mating surface is 
damaged.

2) Check resistance between terminals of oil control 

valve.

Oil control valve resistance
6.7 – 7.7 

Ω (at 20 °C (68 °F))

Removal

CAUTION

!

 

After timing chain is removed, never turn 
crankshaft and camshafts independently 
more than its allowable turning range 
described in “Installation”.
If turned, interference may occur between 
piston and valves and valves themselves, 
and parts related to piston and valves may be 
damaged.

 

1) Remove timing chain cover referring to “Timing 

Chain Cover Removal and Installation: For M16A 
Engine with VVT”.

2) By turning crankshaft, align both intake and exhaust 

camshaft timing sprocket marks (1) with notches (2) 
of cylinder head respectively and align crankshaft 
sprocket key (3) with notch of cylinder block (4).

3) Remove timing chain tensioner adjuster assembly 

(5).

4) Remove timing chain tensioner (6).
5) Remove timing chain No.1 guide (7).
6) Remove timing chain (8) with crankshaft timing 

sprocket (9).

Installation

CAUTION

!

 

After timing chain is removed, never turn 
crankshaft and camshafts independently 
more than such an extent (“a”, “b”) as shown 
in the figure.
If turned, interference may occur between 
piston and valves and valves themselves, 
and parts related to piston and valves may be 
damaged.

 

1) Check that match marks (1) on intake and exhaust 

camshaft timing sprockets are in match with notches 
(2) on cylinder head as shown in the figure.

2) Set key (3) and turn crankshaft to position key on 

upside of crankshaft.

3) Install timing chain by aligning dark blue plate (1) of 

timing chain and triangle mark (2) on camshaft 
timing sprocket as shown in the figure.

4) Fit crankshaft timing sprocket to timing chain by 

aligning gold plate (3) of timing chain and circle mark 
(4) on crankshaft timing sprocket. Then install 
crankshaft timing sprocket fitted with chain to 
crankshaft.

5) Apply engine oil to sliding surface of timing chain 

No.1 guide (1) and install it as shown in the figure.
Tighten guide bolts to specified torque.
