      (Camshaft Timing Oil Control Valve Assembly)
      *b When applied
      *c When cut off

      OK

      Condition Specified Condition
      Auxiliary battery voltage is applied Valve moves in left arrow direction shown in illustration
      Auxiliary battery voltage is cut off Valve moves in right arrow direction shown in illustration
      NOTE:

      Confirm that the valve moves freely and does not stick in any position.

      If necessary, replace the camshaft timing oil control valve assembly.

      HINT: 

      Accumulation of foreign matter can cause minor pressure leaks. Minor pressure leaks will cause the camshaft to advance or retard, and this will cause a DTC to be set.
