Detailed Description

The Gates VVS369 variable valve timing solenoid regulates oil flow to the engine’s timing system, helping maintain accurate cam timing under changing load and speed conditions. When the original oil control valve becomes restricted, worn, or electrically/mechanically inconsistent, engine performance can suffer. This OE-performance replacement is built to match factory specifications and restore normal timing control on vehicles such as the 2020-2023 Genesis G70, 2022-2023 Kia Telluride, and 2020 Hyundai Palisade. The VVS369 part number is also referenced for additional Kia and Genesis applications listed below.

This part cross-references Hyundai/Kia OE number 243553L100 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Rough or unstable idle caused by timing control issues
• Reduced fuel economy from improper valve timing operation
• Loss of low-end or midrange engine response
• Check engine light conditions related to VVT oil control valve performance
• Higher emissions from inconsistent cam timing control

Installation Notes and Tips

• Verify engine application by year, make, and model before ordering.
• Inspect the sealing surface and replace any damaged O-ring or related seals during service.
• Check for oil contamination or sludge that could affect solenoid operation.
• Confirm connector style and mounting location match the original part before installation.
• Clear diagnostic trouble codes and verify proper engine operation after installation.
