Command the flow of engine oil to the intake camshaft phaser with the Standard Ignition Engine Variable Valve Timing (VVT) Solenoid VVT397. This intake-side solenoid drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2017-2022 Hyundai Elantra and 2020-2024 Kia Seltos.
- Intake position: cataloged for the intake camshaft VVT circuit.
- Oil-control function: meters engine oil to the variable valve timing actuator so the ECM can advance or retard intake cam timing across the rev range.
- Electronically actuated: the solenoid opens and closes on command from the engine control module to position the phaser.
- Direct fit: installs on the listed applications.
A worn or clogged VVT solenoid can restrict oil flow to the phaser. Signs it may need replacing include a rough idle, reduced fuel economy, or a variable-valve-timing trouble code. Diagnose the cause first; if the intake VVT solenoid is the source of the fault, this VVT397 replaces it.
