  14. REMOVE CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE VALVE LIFT CONTROLLER ASSEMBLY


    1. A01GB40C02
      *a No. 3 Cylinder
      *b No. 1 Cylinder

      Rotate the crankshaft clockwise until the intake camshaft position at the No. 1 cylinder and No. 3 cylinder are as shown in the illustration.

      Tech Tips

      If the intake camshaft position is not as shown in the illustration, rotate the intake crankshaft clockwise again so that the camshaft is aligned as shown in the illustration.

    2. Turn the crankshaft counterclockwise approximately 10 to 15°.

    3. A01GA1R

      Using a screwdriver, slide the valve lift control actuator connector clip from the valve lift control actuator connector.

      Note

      Slide only the upper part of the valve lift control actuator connector clip, as the straight pin will falls out from the bottom if the valve lift control actuator connector clip is completely removed.

    4. A01GC11

      Using 2 screwdrivers, lightly pry the valve lift control actuator connector to make a space between the continuously variable valve lift controller assembly and camshaft housing sub-assembly.

      Note


      • Do not forcefully pry the valve lift control actuator connector.

      • Do not damage the camshaft housing sub-assembly and camshaft bearing cap.

    5. A01GA1F

      Using a magnet hand, remove the straight pin from the valve lift control actuator connector.

      Note

      Do not drop the straight pin into the engine.

      Tech Tips


      • The straight pin can be removed by utilizing the space between the continuously variable valve lift controller assembly and camshaft housing sub-assembly to move the continuously variable valve lift controller assembly so that there is no load on the straight pin.

      • If the straight pin cannot removed easily, slightly turn the crankshaft clockwise and then counter clockwise.

    6. A01GCK3

      Using a screwdriver, remove the valve lift control actuator connector clip from the valve lift control actuator connector.

      Note

      Do not drop the valve lift control actuator connector clip into the engine.

    7. A01GDB8

      Remove the bolt, 2 nuts and wire harness clamp bracket from the continuously variable valve liftcontroller assembly.

    8. A01GAF4

      Remove the continuously variable valve lift controller assembly from the camshaft housing sub-assembly.

    9. A01GCY0C01
      *1 O-Ring

      Remove the O-ring from the continuously variable valve lift controller assembly.

    10. A01GAX5

      Remove the valve lift control actuator connector from the valve rocker shaft.
