1NZ-FE engine:
For the camshaft timing gear (with VVT-i), when the engine stops, the lock pin locks the vane and the housing by the spring force.
When the engine starts, oil pressure is applied to the lock pin to release it.
For this reason, the lock/unlock action of the lock pin needs to be inspected.
