Detailed Description

The Cloyes VTS184 variable valve timing solenoid is used in exhaust-side VVT systems to regulate oil flow for cam timing operation. When the original solenoid begins to stick, leak, or respond slowly, engine performance and drivability can suffer. This replacement part is listed for 2008-2014 Scion xD, 2009-2014 Toyota Matrix, 2009-2022 Toyota Corolla, 2017-2018 Toyota Corolla iM, 2018-2022 Toyota C-HR, and 2016 Scion iM, all in exhaust position applications. The part number VTS184 and OE cross-reference 153300T020 help confirm the correct match during service.

Common Issues It May Address

• Rough idle related to unstable cam timing control
• Check engine light from VVT solenoid faults
• Delayed or inconsistent valve timing response
• Reduced engine smoothness caused by a failing exhaust VVT solenoid

Installation Notes

Verify the engine code, connector style, and exhaust-side application before installation. Confirm fitment against the vehicle listing for your Toyota Corolla, Toyota C-HR, or Scion xD application, and compare the original part number VTS184 or OE reference 153300T020 before replacement.

Quality Assurance

Cloyes positions this VVT solenoid as a repair solution for malfunctioning units on higher-mileage vehicles. Use the catalog fitment data and OE cross-reference to confirm application accuracy before service.
