2. COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
The variable valve lift system optimizes the intake valve lift by switching between the low lift cam and the high
lift cam according to the engine RPM. The amount of intake valve lift is varied by controlling the oil switching
solenoid valve duty according to signals from the ECM.

A: INSPECTION
1) Remove the oil pressure switch from cylinder
block. Pressure Switch.>
2) Connect the oil pressure gauge hose to cylinder
block.
3) Connect the ground cable to the battery.
4) Start the engine, and measure the oil pressure.
OIL PRESSURE (at oil temperature of 80°C
(176°F)):
Standard:
135 kPa (1.4 kgf/cm2, 20 psi) or more (at
600 rpm)
500 kPa (5.1 kgf/cm2, 73 psi) or more (at

CAUTION:
•If the oil pressure is out of specification,
check oil pump, oil filter and lubrication line.

•If the oil pressure warning light is turned ON
and oil pressure is in specification, replace the
oil pressure switch. SPECTION, General Diagnostics Table.>
5) After measuring the oil pressure, install the oil
pressure switch. LATION, Oil Pressure Switch.>
