The Variable Camshaft Timing (VCT) solenoid is located on the timing chain cover and secured with 2 screws.

The VCT solenoid is controlled by a Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) output from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The PCM uses signals from the Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor and determines the position of the VCT actuator which has a direct interface with the exhaust camshaft.

The VCT solenoid incorporates a spindle that acts on the spool valve in the VCT actuator to advance and retard the exhaust camshaft timing.
