Detailed Description

Motorad 1VS122 is a VVT solenoid engineered for engine management systems that rely on precise oil flow control to adjust cam timing. By helping the engine respond correctly under load and at varying speeds, this solenoid supports smoother operation, improved fuel economy, and lower emissions. It is a direct-fit style replacement for many Nissan, INFINITI, and Suzuki applications, including Nissan Frontier, Nissan Murano, Nissan Maxima, and INFINITI G35 right-side positions.

This part cross-references Gates VVS100 for the same application. The Motorad 1VS122 is also associated with OE-style references including 23796EA20A.

What It Helps Solve

• Check engine lights related to variable valve timing performance
• Rough idle or inconsistent engine response
• Reduced fuel economy caused by improper cam timing control
• Emissions issues tied to VVT system malfunction
• Oil flow control problems affecting timing advance or retard operation

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the right-side position before ordering, since fitment is position-specific. Confirm connector shape, terminal style, and mounting hole layout against the original part. Inspect the engine oil condition and related VVT passages during replacement, as contamination can affect solenoid performance.

Quality Assurance

Motorad backs its engine management products with a limited lifetime warranty. The 1VS122 is built to perform under extreme operating conditions while supporting dependable VVT system operation.
