This operation releases the lock pin for the most retarded position.
(5) When the camshaft timing gear reaches the most advanced position, release the air pressure from the retard side path and advance side path, in that order.
NOTICE:
Do not release the air pressure from the advance side path first. The gear may abruptly shift in the retard direction and break the lock pin.

(3) Apply approximately 200 kPa (2.0 kgf/cm2, 28 psi) of air pressure to the two broken paths (the advance side path and the retard side path).
CAUTION:
Cover the paths with a piece of cloth when applying pressure to keep oil from splashing.
(4) Make sure that the camshaft timing exhaust gear turns in the retard direction when reducing the air pressure applied to the advance side path.

When the air pressure is released from the advance side path and then from the retard side path, the gear automatically returns to the most advanced position due to the advance assist spring operation and locks. Gradually release the air pressure from the retard side path before performing the smooth rotation check.
(i) Check the lock at the most advanced position.
(1) Make sure that the camshaft timing exhaust gear is locked at the most advanced position.
