Common Issues This Part Can Address

• Rough or unstable idle caused by inconsistent cam timing control
• Reduced engine response from a sticking or failing VVT solenoid
• Check engine light related to variable valve timing system faults
• Lower fuel economy from improper valve timing operation
• Increased emissions from delayed or incorrect timing adjustment

Installation Notes

Verify connector style, terminal layout, and engine application before installation. Inspect the sealing surface and replace any damaged gasket area during service. Clean oil passages and related components so the new solenoid can operate without contamination that may affect VVT response.

For best results, confirm the vehicle’s engine code and diagnostic trouble codes before replacing the solenoid. The Gates VVS190 is a direct-fit style replacement for the listed Nissan Altima, Rogue, and Rogue Select applications.
