Toyota 13830-97201 VVT Oil Control Valve Solenoid

The 13830-97201 Variable Valve Timing (VVT) solenoid, also referenced as Oil Control Valve (OCV), regulates hydraulic oil flow to the camshaft phaser actuator. Precise control of intake and exhaust valve timing optimizes engine torque, fuel efficiency, and emissions across the operating range. This unit features a 12V DC two-pin electrical connector and a heat-resistant polymer housing with internal metal spool valve construction designed for direct exposure to engine oil pressure. Engineered as a direct replacement for Toyota and Daihatsu 1.0L three-cylinder engines (EJDE, EJVE, K3VE / 1KR-FE), it resolves common diagnostic trouble codes P0010, P0011, P0013, and P0014 related to camshaft position actuator circuit performance. The solenoid mounts directly to the cylinder head via integrated bolt flange. Cross-references include OE numbers 15330-97201 and 15330BZ050, and aftermarket interchanges MAXGEAR 27-3503 and BGA OCV9119.
