Gates VVT Solenoid VVS340 Overview

The Gates VVS340 Engine Variable Valve Timing Solenoid is an OE-style replacement built to match factory fit, form, and performance. It is designed for 12-volt electromagnetic operation and uses a female 2-terminal connector with blade terminals for straightforward integration on supported applications.

Compatible With 2013-2020 Honda Accord, 2015-2020 Honda CR-V, 2015-2020 Acura TLX, and 2016-2020 Acura ILX, this Gates engine variable valve timing solenoid is built for drivers addressing VVT control concerns on late-model Honda and Acura engines.

Key Features

  • OE-spec fit, form, and performance for direct replacement use
  • 12-volt electromagnetic activation for variable valve timing control
  • Female 2-pin connector with 2 blade terminals
  • Aluminum housing construction for durability
  • Seal included for proper sealing at installation
  • Contents include spool valve, gasket, and sensor
  • Gates part number VVS340 for application matching and catalog lookup

Product Details

Gates Engine Variable Valve Timing Solenoids, also referred to as oil control valves, are engineered to restore the timing control function used by the engine management system. The VVS340 is built from high-quality materials and tested to help return consistent valve timing response, which can support smoother idle quality, improved fuel economy, stronger power delivery, and lower emissions when the original solenoid is no longer performing correctly. This part cross-references Dorman OE Solutions 916-985 for the same application.

Common Issues This Part May Address

  • Check engine light related to variable valve timing or oil control valve faults
  • Rough or unstable idle caused by inconsistent cam timing control
  • Reduced engine response or loss of power during acceleration
  • Poor fuel economy linked to VVT control problems
  • Emissions concerns caused by improper valve timing operation

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector style, terminal count, and housing dimensions before installation. The VVS340 measures 133 mm long, 38 mm wide, and 102 mm high, with a seal included and no mounting hardware listed. Inspect the mating surface, replace any damaged gasket surfaces, and confirm the engine oil condition before installing a new VVT solenoid. For best results, clear diagnostic trouble codes after installation and confirm proper engine operation.

Quality Assurance

Gates designs this engine variable valve timing solenoid to OE specifications and tests it for performance restoration on supported Honda and Acura applications. The aluminum housing and OE-style construction are selected to support durability and service life in normal engine operation.
