Kia CVVT

This technical service bulletin provides information about inspecting the oil control valve (OCV) used in the constant variable valve timing (CVVT) systems of various Kia models if symptoms like rough idling or misfires occur. The procedure includes measuring the OCV's resistance and verifying it moves properly when 12V power is applied to check for issues like abnormal resistance readings or foreign debris preventing movement. Replacing the OCV is recommended if it fails these tests. Technicians should claim diagnostic time under normal warranty procedures for this inspection and repair.

- Description

This bulletin provides information related to the Oil Control Valve (OCV) used in Constant Variable Valve Timing (CVVT). If at
any time the OCV is suspected as a cause of rough idling, poor acceleration, camshaft timing misalignment-related trouble
codes, misfire-related trouble codes, etc., on a Kia vehicle equipped with Continuously Variable Valve Timing (CVVT) system,
be sure to perform the OCV inspection procedure below before replacement.
If the OCV operates normally, inspect for other engine malfunctions. Do not replace the OCV.

1. Measure the resistance between the OCV power and


ground terminals.

resistance

Replace the OCV.

2. Check if the OCV operates normally by providing 12V


power supply as shown. Do not apply voltage for longer
than 5 seconds at a time; Do not overheat OCV windings.

3. When 12V power is provided to the OCV, the OCV


must move forward as shown in the right picture.
A: Maximum retarded valve timing condition (12V not
provided) Normally Open
B: Maximum advanced valve timing condition (12V
provided) Closed when energized.

4. If the OCV does not move forward, examine carefully


for a foreign object like an aluminum chip or flashing
which maybe jammed inside OCV passage.
- Blow out the foreign object using compressed air, reuse
the OCV and then verify that the fault is corrected.
The OCV can be replaced for the following
conditions:
Resistance out of specification
Valve does not move when voltage is applied
Foreign debris cannot be removed from the OCV

WARRANTY CLAIM INFORMATION:


Use Normal Warranty Procedures which includes diagnostic time.
