If NG, replace intake valve timing control solenoid valve.

If OK, go to next step.

3. Remove intake valve timing control solenoid valve.

4. Provide 12 V DC between intake valve timing control solenoid

valve terminals and then interrupt it. Check that the plunger

moves as shown in the figure.

CAUTION:

Never apply 12 V DC continuously for 5 seconds or more.

Doing so may result in damage to the coil in intake valve

timing control solenoid valve.
