Default VVT Connector Pins Ne

Hi,

I've discovered why I am getting a VVT Actuator code. The connector bottom half and pins were sheared off at some point in the past.
The connector I've located but I am having a problem locating the pins. Photos for reference. Does anyone have a resource or a section of existing harness can buy?

Thanks !

The wiring diagram lists that wire as a .5 mm^2 cross section, aka 20 awg. I'm not sure if that constitutes a "small terminal", but it seems the crimp ends are out there:

Not sure if you need the female grips or the male pin for your situation.
There are repair wires with already crimped connections, but since this is a engine harness wire, it needs that "single wire seal". Doubtful it would slide over the pre-crimped ends.
There's a lot of info in the "Electrical Equipment General Information" repair manual about harness connector repair, such as only crimp, no solder.

I'd probably call a shop or the dealership and point out you need to repair the connector on the harness to the valve lift actuator and see if they can tell you what they would use, a particular repair wire part number or crimp pin part number or something.

apologies for reviving an old thread, however, I have this exact issue, Looks to be in the same location as yours also.

Where did you find the connector?


Thank you.
