EDITOR’S NOTE: This article replaces the one posted in March 2017 to extend the article’s shelf life. The issue(s)
covered are still being addressed.
Does the engine rattle at startup for about 1 to 3 seconds? What’s happening is the lock pin inside the VTC actuator
isn’t holding the actuator properly. This lets the vane turn within the housing, causing a short rattle at startup.
Currently there aren’t any countermeasures for the market, so do not replace the VTC actuator at this time. It’s very
unlikely that doing so will fix this concern.
We’re anticipating a service bulletin with troubleshooting and repair info in the near future.
