      1. Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal 1 and connect the negative (-) lead to terminal 2, and check the movement of the valve.

        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 objects causes subtle pressure leaks. The subtle pressure leaks will cause the cam to advance, and this will cause a DTC to be set.
