Gates VVT Solenoid for Toyota and Lexus

The Gates VVS105 Engine Variable Valve Timing Solenoid is an OE-style oil control valve built to match factory fit, form, and performance requirements. It is designed for direct replacement on select Toyota and Lexus applications, including Highlander, Camry, Sienna, Avalon, ES300, RX300, RX330, ES330, RX400h, and Solara models with right-side VVT control.

Key Features

  • OE performance variable valve timing solenoid for engine timing control
  • Electromagnetic activation with 12V operation
  • Female connector with 2 male blade terminals
  • Seal and gasket included for proper sealing at installation
  • High-quality construction for durability and service life
  • Direct-fit replacement for the Gates VVS105 application

Product Details

Gates Engine Variable Valve Timing Solenoids, also called oil control valves, are engineered to restore precise cam timing control in engines that rely on VVT operation. The VVS105 is built to OE specifications and uses durable materials to support consistent operation, improved idle quality, better fuel economy, stronger power delivery, and lower emissions when replacing a worn or failing solenoid. This part number, VVS105, is used across multiple Toyota and Lexus right-side applications, making it a practical replacement for vehicles such as the 2003-2006 Toyota Camry, 2001-2010 Toyota Highlander, and 1999-2003 Lexus RX300.

This part cross-references Dorman OE Solutions 917-214 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Help Resolve

  • Rough or unstable idle caused by VVT control issues
  • Reduced engine response from incorrect cam timing
  • Check engine light conditions related to VVT solenoid performance
  • Lower fuel economy from poor valve timing control
  • Increased emissions from a sticking or failing oil control valve

Installation Notes and Tips

  • Verify the vehicle uses the right-side engine variable valve timing solenoid before ordering.
  • Inspect the connector, terminals, and sealing surface before installation.
  • Replace the gasket or seal if the original component shows wear or oil leakage.
  • Confirm electrical connection and clean mounting surfaces to support proper operation.
  • Match the part number VVS105 to the vehicle application for accurate fitment.

Quality Assurance

Gates designs this VVT solenoid to OE specifications in fit, form, and performance. The component is constructed from high-quality materials and tested to help restore engine performance in the intended Toyota and Lexus applications.
