Solenoid Valves
Solenoid Valves: The Bi-VANOS solenoid valves are mounted through the upper timing case front cover There are two solenoids per cylinder head to control the oil flow to the camshaft ports for the intake and exhaust VANOS units.
The 4/3 way proportional solenoid valve is activated by the ECM to direct oil flow. The solenoid valve is sealed to the front cover by a radial seal and secured by a retaining plate.
