Variable Valve Timing Actuator Position Sensor: Testing and Inspection

INSPECTION

VVT SENSOR

Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between the terminals.

Resistance:
at cold: 835 to 1,400 Ohm
at hot: 1,060 to 1,645 Ohm

NOTE: "Cold" and "Hot" above mean the temperature of the coils themselves. "Cold" is from -10°C (14°F) to 50°C (122°F) and "Hot" is from 50°C (122°F) to 100°C (212°F).
