The design uses electric activation, a male pin terminal style, and a steel body to match the requirements of the original engine control system. With fitment across models such as Nissan Altima, Maxima, Murano, Pathfinder, and TITAN, plus INFINITI G37, Q50, Q70, and QX56 applications, this solenoid supports accurate timing control where the original part has worn or stopped responding. The VTS172 part number is a useful reference when confirming the correct replacement, and 23796ZE01C cross-references to the same application.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon Problems It Can Address\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCheck engine light related to VVT solenoid performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRough idle caused by inconsistent valve timing control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLoss of power from delayed cam timing response\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHard starting or poor running when the solenoid is failing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOil control issues affecting variable valve timing operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eConfirm the vehicle year, make, model, and solenoid position before ordering.
