Troubleshooting

Tool does not fit correctly

Double-check that you have the correct tool for your specific engine variant and that the engine is positioned at the correct TDC (Top Dead Center) mark as per the vehicle's service manual. Ensure no debris is obstructing the tool or the engine component.

Difficulty locking camshaft/crankshaft

Confirm the engine is at the correct rotational position. Refer to the vehicle's workshop manual for precise alignment marks. Ensure the locking tools are fully engaged in their designated slots.

VVT sprocket tool seems loose

Verify that you are using the correct side or orientation of the VVT tool if applicable, and that the engine is at the specified position for locking. Consult the vehicle's manual for the exact procedure.
