2015 Honda CR-V - Variable Timing Solenoid

Honda CR-V Variable Valve Timing (VVT) Solenoid

The variable valve timing solenoid or VVT solenoid on your Honda CR-V helps to control the flow of oil to the VVT actuators. When the VVT solenoid is activated by the computer, it sends oil pressure to the camshaft actuators to increase the valve duration and timing when the engine is under a load. With time, the VVT solenoid can fail electronically, or it may be clogged due to dirty oil. Common signs that the VVT solenoid in your Honda may be failing include the Check Engine light coming on, or if your Honda has a rough idle and a lack of fuel economy. Keeping the oil clean is one of the best ways to ensure that the VVT solenoid keeps functioning. If you need a replacement VVT solenoid or other variable valve timing system parts, O'Reilly Auto Parts carries the right parts for your Honda CR-V to help you stay on the road.
