- •【Benefits】Those solenoid, as components of VVT system, can help it to provide smoother idling, better power delivery for everyday needs, improved fuel economy, and superior emissions control.
- •【Symptoms】 There are some symptoms that show the solenoids are not functioning well, Check Engine Light On, Dirty Engine Oil, Roughness in Idling Engine and Decline in Fuel Efficiency.
- •【OBD-II Trouble Code】 OBD-II Trouble Code caused will point to failed parts, like P0010 (intake side circuit malfunction), P0011 (intake side actuator solenoid timing over-advanced), P0013 (exhaust side circuit malfunction) , P0014 (exhaust side actuator solenoid timing over-advanced).

Installed this set of solenoids on my daughters 2008 G6 2.4L 4 cyl engine in early October of 2019 due to codes P0013 and P0014 being set. She has driven the car approx 3,000 miles since without issues. I am a retired GM tech so this job was kind of a no brainer since I had replaced many of these in the past due to mileage and codes. Replacing them is not difficult or time consuming and can be completed in about 30 to 40 mins if done properly. I do suggest you have some engine repair experience before attempting.
Be sure to use good quality tools to prevent damage to the heads of the small bolts as they can be locked in place and sometimes hard to break loose.
*****FIRST STEP IS DISCONNECT THE NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL! *****
After removing top engine covers and accessing the solenoid area at the front (right side) of the top of the cylinder head be sure to clean the areas around the solenoids with compressed air or a spray cleaner before removing. This will prevent dirt and debris from falling into the holes after removal and causing damage to internal parts of the engine.
Carefully disconnect wiring harness from old solenoids to prevent breaking the small tabs. They become brittle with age and heat.
Remove one solenoid at a time. They may be difficult to remove and need to use a screwdriver to pry them out of the hole due to the seals locking in place. Be careful not to damage head surfaces or other surrounding parts. Penetrating lube can be used to help aid in loosening the seals hold. Wait about 5 minutes to let the lube soak in just be sure to clean away any lube before installing new solenoids.
Remove the correct corresponding new solenoid from the box and lube the seals with clean oil before inserting into hole to aid in seating solenoid completely to surface to head. Finger start the mounting bolt to prevent cross threading. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN MOUNTING BOLTS! Torque to manufacturers specs.
Reconnect the electrical terminals carefully.
Reconnect negative battery terminal.
Clear all codes stored. (This can be done before service too. Disconnecting the battery will not clear stored codes.)
Start engine and check for leaks before reinstalling the top engine covers.
