How This Solenoid Works
This engine variable valve timing solenoid, part number VVS380, regulates oil flow to the cam phaser so the engine can adjust valve timing as operating conditions change. Gates tests each unit to restore engine performance, improve idle quality, support better fuel economy, and reduce emissions. It is a practical replacement for vehicles that need a dependable VVT solenoid or oil control valve, including Cadillac XT6, Chevrolet Blazer, and GMC Canyon applications.
Common Problems It Can Address
- Rough or unstable idle caused by a failing VVT solenoid
- Reduced engine response from inconsistent cam timing control
- Check engine light related to variable valve timing faults
- Higher emissions from improper oil control valve operation
- Poor fuel economy linked to timing control issues
Installation Notes
Verify connector style, terminal configuration, and engine application before installation. This part includes a seal, and mounting hardware is not included. Fitment includes 2016-2026 Cadillac, Chevrolet, Buick, and GMC applications, with some listings marked for intake position only. The VVS380 should be matched to the exact vehicle and engine configuration shown in the fitment data.
Quality Assurance
Gates designs this VVT solenoid to OE specifications and tests it for performance restoration and service life. The VVS380 is engineered for consistent operation in applications such as Cadillac CT5, Chevrolet Colorado, and Buick LaCrosse.
