tldr: Looking for Acceptable Ohm Range for VVTI Solenoid

edit: 2008 sedan,


I searched a bit on various sites as well as google, but I cant seem to find the acceptable range, this one tested in at 6.7 ohms

 

You may want to download the FSM for your car from NICOclub and follow the troubleshooting steps for that code, but here are the two steps for checking the IVT solenoid.

 

Thank you for the FSM! I thought I had replied earlier this year thanking you, but i guess it didnt post.

Once the solenoid got up to room temperature, it tested at 7 ohms!

If anyone is curious, I ended up dropping the lower oil pan last night, and draining/filtering the oil as it came out in search of my oil gallery gasket,

Well, I found the paper gasket at the bottom of the oil pan, it was actually challenging to find, but it is confirmed, I will be needing my oil gallery gaskets replaced.

When I replaced my gaskets last year I found 2 fasteners that weren't even hand tight, just touching with a screwdriver made them turn, really glad I decided to change them out. While you're in there go ahead and change the timing chain guides and tensioner, as well as the water pump.
