Standard Ignition Engine Variable Valve Timing (VVT) Solenoid P/N:VVT125
Keep intake valve timing responding correctly with the Standard Ignition Engine Variable Valve Timing (VVT) Solenoid VVT397, a direct-fit replacement for the 2017-2022 Hyundai Elantra and 2020-2024 Kia Seltos (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment). Mounted at the INTAKE position, this solenoid regulates the flow of pressurized engine oil to the intake cam phaser, letting the ECM advance or retard valve timing as conditions change. If a failed VVT solenoid is the cause of a rough idle, a timing-related trouble code, or reduced efficiency, this part replaces it.
This unit is the oil-control style variable valve timing solenoid for the intake camshaft on the listed applications.
Interchange: 35-1287

This part cross-references / interchanges with the following part numbers:
What does the VVT397 solenoid do?
It regulates the flow of pressurized engine oil to the intake cam phaser so the ECM can advance or retard valve timing. On the listed vehicles it mounts at the intake position.
What vehicles does this VVT solenoid fit?
It's a direct-fit replacement for the 2017-2022 Hyundai Elantra and 2020-2024 Kia Seltos. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm the engine for your specific vehicle.
Is this the same as a variable valve timing solenoid?
Yes. "VVT solenoid" and "variable valve timing solenoid" refer to the same component—an oil-control valve that adjusts camshaft timing on command from the ECM.
What are signs this solenoid may need replacing?
A timing-related trouble code, rough idle, or reduced efficiency can be signs. Have the cause diagnosed first, since other parts can produce the same symptoms.
What part numbers does it interchange with?
It cross-references 35-1287, 351287, VV1297, VVTA131, VVS1953, and 2435703170.
