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 SOLENOID ASSEMBLY
- Check the resistance.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
*a Component without harness connected
(Camshaft Timing Oil Control Solenoid Assembly)Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition 1 - 2 0 °C (32 °F) 5.3 to 6.3 Ω 20 °C (68 °F) 5.8 to 6.8 Ω 40 °C (104 °F) 6.2 to 7.4 Ω If the result is not as specified, replace the camshaft timing oil control solenoid assembly.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
- Stroke Amount Inspection
- Using vernier calipers, measure length (A) and (B) with the shaft of the camshaft timing oil control solenoid assembly set in the respective positions shown in the illustration.
*A Type A *B Type B *a Shaft Side Facing Down *b Shaft Side Facing Up *c Shaft - - NOTE:Do not apply battery voltage to the terminals of the camshaft timing oil control solenoid assembly.
HINT:
If the shaft does not extend under its own weight, extend the shaft with your fingers.
- Calculate the stroke amount based on the difference of length (A) and (B).
Standard
6.5 mm (0.256 in.) or more
HINT:
Stroke amount = length (A) - length (B)
If the value is not as specified, replace the camshaft timing oil control solenoid assembly.
- Using vernier calipers, measure length (A) and (B) with the shaft of the camshaft timing oil control solenoid assembly set in the respective positions shown in the illustration.
- Check the resistance.
