Volcano29 Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 Hello I have a 99 rx300 and the code P1354 came out. It reads VVT System Malfunctioning (Bank 2). Does anyone have an idea on what exactly I need to replace. Some say its the oxygen sensors (which one?) Thankyou. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone have an idea on what exactly I need to replace. Some say its the oxygen sensors (which one?) Thankyou. The vvt-i oil control valve needs to be checked for a possible malfunction along with the cam sensors, bank two is the one where the oil cap is located. if you are mechanically inclined you can remove the engine cover and see the oil control valve, it has a black connector and the valve body is gold in color it gets attached to the cylinder head with one 10 mm bolt, remove and pull it out, fairly easy to do. you can bench test it or just get it replaced......

Volcano29 Posted January 19, 2006 Author Share Posted January 19, 2006 Does this code have anything to do with the Throttle position sensor or the ECU? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LexInfo Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 Does this code have anything to do with the Throttle position sensor or the ECU? more so the ecu than the TPS, also it was bank specific so if its ecu related it will throw other codes and if its tps related it will be both banks..... I would check the OCV on bank 2 and go from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NateRx300 Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 I just watched a video where the VVT solenoid was causing brakes to not work intermittently. My 99 rx300 is doing the same thing. I did get a VVT bank 2 code and some misfires on 2,4,6. Initially, I was only getting a Air Fuel Ratio code on bank 1, just replaced it, but not bank 2. I figure Ill do bank 2 Air Fuel Ratio sensor and both the VVT solenoids. REALLY hope this fixes it. Great info on this forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
