Collection: VARIABLE CAM SOLENOIDS

Variable Cam Solenoid Operation

Variable Cam Solenoids are controlled by the ECU and are used to control the flow of oil, under pressure, to the Cam Actuators to advance and retard the cam shafts in relation to the crank shaft. The Variable Cam Solenoid has an electrical section, oil galleries and a spool valve. The ECU varies the signal to the solenoid to change the direction of oil flow to the actuators so they can advance or retard the cam shafts. The most common cause of failure of the Cam Solenoid is poor maintenance of the engine oil which causes blockages and excessive wear within the solenoid. Variable 
Cam Solenoids can also fail electrically rendering them inoperable.
