Product Details
Gates Engine Variable Valve Timing Solenoid VVS111 is engineered as an OE replacement oil control valve for engines that rely on precise cam timing. The electromagnetic design helps regulate oil flow to the VVT system, supporting smoother idle, improved fuel economy, stronger power delivery, and lower emissions when the original solenoid is worn or sticking. This part cross-references Dorman OE Solutions 917-210 for the same application.
Compatible With 2000-2005 Toyota Echo, N/A; 2001-2009 Toyota Prius, N/A; 2004-2006 Scion xA, N/A; 2004-2006 Scion xB, N/A; 2005-2018 Toyota Yaris, N/A; and 2016 Toyota Yaris R, N/A. The Gates VVS111 is a direct-fit service part for these applications and is built to restore factory-style VVT operation.
Common Issues This Part Can Address
- Rough or unstable idle caused by a failing VVT solenoid
- Reduced engine response from improper cam timing control
- Lower fuel economy related to oil control valve wear
- Check engine light conditions tied to VVT system faults
- Increased emissions from inconsistent valve timing
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify the connector style, terminal count, and OE part number before installation. Inspect the sealing surface and replace any damaged gasket area during service; this solenoid includes a seal and gasket. Clean engine oil passages and confirm proper oil condition, since contamination can affect VVT solenoid operation. No mounting hardware is included.
Quality Assurance
Gates manufactures this VVT solenoid to OE specifications and tests it for performance restoration in the engine timing system. The VVS111 is built from durable materials for dependable service in Toyota and Scion applications.
