2010 Nissan Xterra Engine Variable Timing Solenoids

This replacement engine variable valve timing (VVT) solenoid is precision-engineered to match the fit and function of the original VVT solenoid. Made of quality materials for a long service life, it has been tested for proper performance.

The variable valve timing (VVT) system allows the engine control module (ECM) to regulate the intake and exhaust valve phase angle providing the most optimal engine volumetric efficiency under all engine operating condition to control tailpipe emissions and engine efficiency. Variable valve timing is an emission control device and although there are various methods of operation, the typical device is regulated by oil control valves, actuator solenoids and camshaft phasers.

Hitachi’s Variable Timing Control Cover Assembly is an aluminum cover that contains the Variable Timing Solenoid valve. This cover mounts to the engine’s Timing Chain Case Front Cover, which encapsulates the Variable Timing Gear (Camshaft Phasor). The Variable Timing Conntrol Assembly main function is to control oil pressure to the camshaft phasors (camshaft sprockets), which control the engine’s valve timing. The camshaft phasors (Variable Timing Gear) are mounted to the camshaft.
