Replacement Part

Warning

•  A hot engine can cause severe burns. Turn off the engine and wait until it is cool before removing the electric variable valve timing motor/driver.

Caution

•  Applying excessive force (100 N or more) to the electric variable valve timing motor/driver may cause a malfunction. When servicing, be careful not to apply excessive force to the electric variable valve timing motor/driver with other parts or tools.

•  Do not disassemble the electric variable valve timing motor/driver because it is a precision unit.

―  Do not deform locations (a) in the figure.

―  Do not handle the electric variable valve timing motor/driver by holding only the connector areas.

―  Do not touch the connector terminals.

2.  Install the electric variable valve timing motor/driver using the following procedure.

Note

•  The eccentric shafts on the variable valve timing actuator side can be rotated to the left and right.
