Standard Ignition VVT482 Engine Variable Valve Timing (VVT) Solenoid - Exhaust

Engine VVT Solenoid for Exhaust Timing Control

Standard Ignition VVT482 is an engine variable valve timing solenoid for exhaust-side timing control on select Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain applications. It uses a 12-volt electromagnetic design with a 2-pin blade terminal layout for direct electrical actuation.

Key Features

• Engine variable valve timing (VVT) solenoid for exhaust position
• 12-volt electromagnetic activation
• 2-pin configuration with female plug/socket connector
• Blade terminals with male terminal gender
• Metal and plastic housing construction
• Single connector with oval and rectangle connector shape
• Standard Ignition VVT482 part number for application matching

Detailed Description

Standard Ignition VVT482 is built for exhaust cam timing control on 2018-2022 Chevrolet Equinox and 2018-2022 GMC Terrain models. This solenoid uses electromagnetic activation to regulate oil flow for variable valve timing operation, helping the engine management system control exhaust cam timing based on operating conditions. The unit features a 12V electrical design, 2 terminals, and a female connector with plug/socket interface for straightforward electrical connection. Standard Ignition VVT482 is a direct-fit style replacement for vehicles that use this exhaust VVT solenoid configuration.

This part cross-references OE and aftermarket numbers such as 12668041 and VV1382 for the same application.

What It Is Used For

• Restoring exhaust cam timing control on a Chevrolet Equinox or GMC Terrain
• Addressing variable valve timing fault codes related to the exhaust solenoid circuit
• Correcting rough idle or drivability issues tied to VVT operation
• Replacing a worn or electrically failed exhaust VVT solenoid
• Supporting proper engine timing response under changing load and speed conditions

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the connector style, terminal count, and exhaust position before installation. Confirm the vehicle application by year, make, and model, since VVT482 is listed for 2018-2022 Chevrolet Equinox, exhaust, and 2018-2022 GMC Terrain, exhaust. Inspect the connector and wiring for oil intrusion, corrosion, or damaged terminals before installing the new solenoid. Standard Ignition VVT482 does not include mounting hardware or gaskets.

Quality Assurance

Standard Ignition supplies engine management components for service replacement applications, and this VVT solenoid is built with a metal and plastic housing for the listed exhaust timing use. Part number VVT482 should be matched to the original connector and position requirements for proper fitment.
