    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    You can use a stepper output (they can function like a DPO) but you have to make sure it is set to low side control in the wiring screen. If it is set to high side it won't hurt anything but it just won't work either.

    If I had my laptop with me, I could take a look. I think it is low side. However, the Passenger OCV just makes an occasional loud fast rattle/clicking noise, but very little if any phase change.

    Sounds like part failure (could be the solenoid or the actual phaser unit, I know some toyota phase units leak internally when they go bad), but always worth verifying the wiring and setup first. Maybe it has bad continuity on the +12v side or something.

    The phaser itself is brand new OEM. I just installed last weekend basically. The OCV could be culprit. Since it is off of a used engine of mine.
