Product Details
The Gates VVS124 is a Variable Valve Timing Solenoid, also referred to as an oil control valve, used to regulate oil flow to the VVT system. Proper solenoid operation is important for maintaining cam timing response and consistent engine performance. This part cross-references Dorman OE Solutions 917-293 for the same application. If you are replacing a failing VVT solenoid on a Lexus GS400, Lexus LS400, or Toyota Tundra, VVS124 provides a service-ready OE-performance solution. The Gates VVS124 is built for select left-position applications across 1997-2010 Lexus and Toyota vehicles.
Common Problems This Part Can Help Address
- Rough or unstable idle caused by VVT control issues
- Reduced engine power or sluggish throttle response
- Check engine light related to variable valve timing faults
- Poor fuel economy from incorrect cam timing control
- Increased emissions from a malfunctioning oil control valve
Installation Notes and Tips
- Confirm the left-side position and match the vehicle year, make, and model before installation.
- Inspect the connector, terminals, and sealing surfaces for oil contamination or damage.
- Replace the gasket/seal during service to help maintain proper oil control.
- Verify the electrical connector is fully seated and the mounting surface is clean before reassembly.
- Clear diagnostic trouble codes and confirm VVT operation after installation.
Quality Assurance
Gates designs this Engine Variable Valve Timing Solenoid to OE specifications and tests it to help restore engine performance.
