Inspection [10/2015 - ]: Procedure
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 9 other vehicles, including the 2024 Lexus RC 300, 2023 Lexus RC 300, 2022 Lexus RC 300, 2021 Lexus RC 300, and 2020 Lexus RC 300. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- INSPECT CAMSHAFT TIMING OIL CONTROL VALVE ASSEMBLY
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition 1 - 2 20°C (68°F) 6.9 to 7.9 Ω If the result is not as specified, replace the camshaft timing oil control valve assembly.
- Check the operation.
- Connect a battery positive (+) lead to terminal 1 and negative (-) lead to terminal 2, and check the movement of the spool valve.
OK
Condition Specified Condition Battery voltage applied Valve moves in left arrow direction shown in illustration Battery voltage cut off Valve moves in right arrow direction shown in illustration NOTE:Accumulation of foreign matter can cause minor pressure leaks. Minor pressure leaks in the camshaft timing oil control valve assembly (for exhaust side) will cause the exhaust camshaft to retard. The inappropriate camshaft timing that results from these leaks will cause a DTC to be stored.
