• A hot engine can cause severe burns. Turn off the engine and wait until it is cool before servicing.
Caution
• Applying excessive force (force of 100 N {10.2 kgf, 22.5 lbf} 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 using other parts or tools.
• Do not disassemble the electric variable valve timing motor/driver because it is a precision unit.
Electric Variable Valve Timing Motor/Driver Installation Note
1. Install a new O-ring to the O-ring installation groove of the engine front cover.
Caution
• To prevent damage to the electric variable valve timing motor/driver, be careful not to perform the following.
― Do not apply force of more than 100 N {10.2 kgf, 22.5 lbf} to the shaded area in figure and connector

― Do not deform areas (a) in figure
― Do not loosen areas (b) (crimp-tightened area) in figure
― Do not handle electric variable valve timing motor/driver while holding only connector
― Do not touch connector terminal
2. Install the electric variable valve timing motor/driver using the following procedures.
Note
• The eccentric shaft on the electric variable valve timing actuator side can be rotated to the left and right.

(2) Engage the joint on the end of the electric variable valve timing motor with the joint groove on the electric variable valve timing actuator side.
(3) Attach the seal surface.
(4) Tighten the electric variable valve timing motor/driver installation bolts.
