Motorad 1VS174 VVT Solenoid Overview

The Motorad 1VS174 is an engine variable valve timing (VVT) solenoid built for exhaust-side applications on a wide range of Hyundai, Genesis, and Kia vehicles. It is engineered to operate in demanding engine conditions while helping restore proper valve timing control, fuel economy, and emissions performance.

Compatible with applications such as the Hyundai Sonata, Kia Optima, and Hyundai Tucson, this VVT solenoid is a direct-fit engine management replacement for vehicles that rely on precise exhaust cam timing. The Motorad 1VS174 is also referenced by OE and aftermarket part numbers for cross-checking during service.

Key Features

  • Engine variable valve timing (VVT) solenoid for exhaust-side control
  • Black connector housing with 2-wire, 2-terminal male connection
  • Single mounting hole design for straightforward replacement
  • Built for operation under extreme engine conditions
  • Supports restoration of fuel economy and emissions performance
  • Motorad 1VS174 cross-references Gates VVS119 for the same application

Detailed Description

The Motorad 1VS174 VVT solenoid regulates oil flow to the variable valve timing system, helping the engine adjust cam timing as operating conditions change. That function is important for drivability, throttle response, and emissions control on many Hyundai, Genesis, and Kia models. This part number is used across exhaust-position applications on vehicles including the 2011-2020 Kia Optima, 2011-2019 Hyundai Sonata, and 2018-2021 Hyundai Tucson.

Motorad positions this engine management component for reliable performance in harsh operating environments, and the 1VS174 is backed by the brand’s limited lifetime warranty. If you are replacing a failing exhaust VVT solenoid on a Hyundai Elantra N, Genesis G70, or Kia Stinger, this part provides a focused OE-style service solution.

What It Helps Address

  • Check engine lights related to VVT or cam timing faults
  • Rough idle or inconsistent engine operation
  • Reduced fuel economy from improper valve timing control
  • Emissions concerns tied to exhaust cam timing performance
  • Slow response or hesitation caused by a sticking solenoid
