INTAKE VALVE TIMING CONTROL
DescriptionINFOID:0000000005149073
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
*: This signal is sent to the ECM through CAN communication line
This mechanism hydraulically controls cam phases c
ontinuously with the fixed operating angle of the intake
valve.
The ECM receives signals such as crankshaft posit ion, camshaft position, engine speed, and engine coolant
temperature. Then, the ECM sends ON/OFF pulse duty si gnals to the intake valve timing (IVT) control sole-
noid valve depending on driving status. This makes it po ssible to control the shut/open timing of the intake
valve to increase engine torque in low/mid speed range and output in high-speed range.
