6. VVT-i (Variable Valve Timing-intelligent) System
General
The VVT-i system is designed to control the intake camshaft within a wide range of 43 (of crankshaft
angle) to provide a valve timing that is optimally suited to the engine condition, thus realizing improved
torque in all the speed ranges and fuel economy, and reduce exhaust emissions.

Construction
1) VVT-i Controller
This controller consists of the housing driven from the timing chain and the vane coupled with the intake
camshaft.
The oil pressure sent from the advance or retard side path at the intake camshaft causes rotation in the
VVT-i controller vane circumferential direction to vary the intake valve timing continuously.
2) Camshaft Timing Oil Control Valve
The camshaft timing oil control valve controls
the spool valve position in accordance with
the duty control from the ECM thus allocating
the hydraulic pressure that is applied to the
VVT-i controller to the advance and the retard
side. When the engine is stopped, the cam-
shaft timing oil control valve is in the most re-
tarded state.

Operation
The camshaft timing oil control valve selects the path to the VVT-i controller according to the advance, re-
tard or hold signal from the ECM. The VVT-i controller rotates the intake camshaft in the timing advance
or retard position or holds it according to the position where the oil pressure is applied.
1) Advance
When the camshaft timing oil control valve is positioned as illustrated below by the advance signal from
the ECM, the resultant oil pressure is applied to the timing advance side vane chamber to rotate the cam-
shaft in the timing advance direction.
2) Retard
When the camshaft timing oil control valve is positioned as illustrated below by the retard signal from
the ECM, the resultant oil pressure is applied to the timing retard side vane chamber to rotate the camshaft
in the timing retard direction.

3) Hold
The ECM calculates the target timing angle according to the traveling state to perform control as de-
scribed in the previous page. After setting at the target timing, the valve timing is held by keeping the
camshaft timing oil control valve in the neutral position unless the traveling state changes.
This adjusts the valve timing at the desired target position and prevents the engine oil from running out
when it is unnecessary.

In proportion to the engine speed, intake air volume, throttle position and water temperature, the ECM cal-
culates an optimal valve timing under each driving condition and control the camshaft timing oil control
valve. In addition, ECM uses signal from the camshaft position sensor and the crankshaft position sensor
to detect the actual valve timing, thus performing feedback control to achieve the target valve timing.
