• Black metal and plastic housing for engine-bay durability
• Plug-in connector with rectangular female connector design
• 2-wire, 2-terminal blade connection layout
• 1 mounting hole configuration for direct replacement use
• Built for Toyota and Lexus VVT service applications
• Motorad part number 1VS105 for catalog and cross-reference lookup

Detailed Description

This VVT solenoid regulates oil flow to the variable valve timing system, helping the engine respond correctly to timing commands from the ECU. The Motorad 1VS105 is specified with a black connector, black housing, and electromagnetic actuation, along with a plug-in rectangular connector and male blade terminals for a straightforward OE-style electrical interface. It is listed for left-side applications on 1992-2010 Toyota and Lexus models, including the Toyota Camry, Sienna, Avalon, Highlander, and Lexus ES300, RX300, RX330, RX400h, and ES330. This part cross-references Gates VVS106 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Rough idle related to VVT control issues
• Check engine lights tied to cam timing or solenoid faults
• Delayed throttle response from inconsistent valve timing
• Reduced fuel economy caused by improper VVT operation
• Higher emissions from timing control problems

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the connector shape, terminal count, and left-side placement before installation. Inspect the engine oil condition and related passages during service, since contamination can affect VVT solenoid performance. Confirm the vehicle application against the exact year, make, and model listed for your Toyota or Lexus before replacement.

Quality Assurance

Motorad backs its engine management products with a limited lifetime warranty. The 1VS105 is engineered to perform in extreme operating conditions while supporting consistent VVT system operation.
