The design uses a male connector, male pin terminals, and a two-pin electrical interface to match the original control strategy used by the engine management system. With a steel housing and compact dimensions, VTS149 is suited for repair work where the original solenoid has worn out or begun to respond inconsistently. This part cross-references 243552G500 for the same application.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompatible vehicle coverage includes Hyundai Santa Fe Sport, Hyundai Tucson, Hyundai Sonata, Kia Optima, Kia Sportage, Kia Sorento, Kia Forte, Kia Forte Koup, Kia Forte5, Hyundai Genesis Coupe, and Hyundai Santa Fe. When replacing a VVT solenoid on a Hyundai Sonata or Kia Optima, confirm the intake-side application and connector style before installation. Part number VTS149 may also be referenced during catalog lookup as VTS149.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon Repair Uses\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRestores proper intake cam timing control after solenoid failure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAddresses rough running caused by a sticking or electrically faulty VVT solenoid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelps correct timing-related warning lights tied to solenoid performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplaces a worn electrical actuator in higher-mileage engines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eVerify the connector style, terminal count, and intake-side fitment against the original part before installation.
