The exhaust valve timing intermediate lock control solenoid valve opens/closes the path of oil pressure acting on the lock key in the camshaft sprocket (EXH).

• When the solenoid valve becomes ON, oil pressure to the lock key is drained to perform intermediate lock.
• When the solenoid valve becomes OFF, oil pressure is acted on the lock key to release the intermediate lock.
