Coil resistance inspection

1.  Disconnect the negative battery cable. (See NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION [MZR 1.6].)

2.  Disconnect the OCV connector.

3.  Measure the coil resistance between terminals A and B using a ohmmeter.

•  If not within specification, replace the OCV. (See OIL CONTROL VALVE (OCV) REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [MZR 1.6].)

4.  Install in the reverse order of removal.

Spool Valve Operation Inspection

1.  Disconnect the negative battery cable. (See NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION [MZR 1.6].)

2.  Remove the OCV. (See OIL CONTROL VALVE (OCV) REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [MZR 1.6].)

3.  Verify that the spool valve inside the OCV is at the minimum valve timing retard position as shown in the figure.

•  If it cannot be verified, replace the OCV. (See OIL CONTROL VALVE (OCV) REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [MZR 1.6].)

4.  Verify that the battery is fully charged. (See BATTERY INSPECTION [MZR 1.6].)

Note

•  When applying battery positive voltage between the oil control valve terminals, the connection of the negative and positive cable can be either the A or B terminal.

5.  Apply battery positive voltage between oil control valve terminals A and B, and verify that the spool valve operates and moves to the maximum valve timing advance position.

•  If there is any malfunction, replace the OCV. (See OIL CONTROL VALVE (OCV) REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [MZR 1.6].)

6.  Stop applying battery positive voltage and verify that the spool valve returns to the minimum valve timing retard position.

•  If it cannot be verified, replace the OCV. (See OIL CONTROL VALVE (OCV) REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [MZR 1.6])

7.  Install in the reverse order of removal.
