  • Two-pin configuration for the specified application
  • Compact body dimensions for OE-style packaging

Detailed Description

This Cloyes VVT solenoid, part number VTS160, is intended as a replacement for a worn or failing variable valve timing actuator in supported Toyota and Scion applications. The design uses a steel body, 2 terminals, and a male connector layout to match the electrical interface required by the application. Fitment includes Fits 2006-2018 Toyota Yaris, N/A; Fits 2001-2009 Toyota Prius, N/A; Fits 2004-2006 Scion xA, N/A; Fits 2004-2006 Scion xB, N/A; and Fits 2000-2005 Toyota Echo, N/A. This part cross-references 1533021011 for the same application.

What It Is Used For

  • Restoring variable valve timing control when the original solenoid fails
  • Addressing rough running caused by an electrically faulty VVT solenoid
  • Replacing a unit with connector or terminal wear
  • Correcting timing control issues tied to high-mileage engine operation

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the connector style, terminal count, and engine application before installation. Confirm the vehicle uses the listed VVT solenoid configuration and compare the original part number VTS160 against the replacement unit. Professional installation is recommended for accurate diagnosis and proper sealing during service.

Quality Assurance

Cloyes supplies engine timing and control components for replacement service, and this VVT solenoid is built to match the specified electrical and physical requirements of the application.
