OE-Style VVT Solenoid for Toyota and Lexus
Gates VVS109 is an engine variable valve timing solenoid, also known as an oil control valve, built to OE specifications for fit, form, and performance. It is designed for the exhaust left position on a wide range of Toyota and Lexus applications, including Camry, Avalon, Highlander, Sienna, RAV4, RX350, and ES350.
Gates Engine Variable Valve Timing Solenoid VVS109 uses an electromagnetic activation style and a 12-volt electrical design to help restore proper cam timing control. The result is smoother idle, improved fuel economy, stronger engine response, and lower emissions when replacing a worn or sticking VVT solenoid.
Key Features
- OE-spec replacement for engine variable valve timing control
- Electromagnetic activation with 12V operation
- Female connector with 2 blade terminals
- Seal and gasket included for proper sealing at the engine
- High-quality construction for durability and service life
- Fits exhaust left applications on select Toyota and Lexus models
- Gates part number VVS109 for easy identification
Product Details
This Gates VVT solenoid is engineered for direct replacement in applications such as 2007-2018 Lexus ES350, 2007-2017 Toyota Camry, 2005-2018 Toyota Avalon, 2008-2016 Toyota Highlander, 2007-2016 Toyota Sienna, 2006-2012 Toyota RAV4, 2007-2015 Lexus RX350, and other listed Lexus and Toyota models. It is built with a steel shaft, one connector, and OE-style dimensions to support proper installation and reliable valve timing control. This part cross-references Dorman OE Solutions 917-239 for the same application.
Gates VVS109 is part of the Engine Variable Valve Timing Solenoid line, a product line focused on OE-style replacement components for engines that rely on precise oil pressure control to adjust cam timing. For vehicles like the Toyota Camry, Avalon, and Lexus ES350, accurate VVT operation is important for drivability and emissions performance.
Common Problems This Part Can Help Address
- Rough or unstable idle caused by a failing VVT solenoid
- Reduced engine response from incorrect cam timing control
- Check engine light conditions related to oil control valve performance
- Poor fuel economy linked to inconsistent valve timing
- Increased emissions from delayed or erratic VVT operation
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify the exhaust left position and confirm connector style, terminal count, and dimensions before installation. Inspect the sealing surface and replace any damaged gasket area during service. Clean engine oil passages and check for sludge or contamination that could affect solenoid operation after replacement.
Quality Assurance
Gates manufactures this solenoid to OE specifications and tests it to restore engine performance, fuel economy, idle quality, power delivery, and emissions control. The part is built from durable materials for long service life and consistent operation in the listed Toyota and Lexus applications.
This part fits 126 vehicles
