Variable Camshaft Timing Unit Schematic - Advance
To advance the camshaft timing, the ECM adjusts the signal to the VCT solenoid to move the spool valve so that the advance chamber oil passage is closed and the retard chamber oil passage is connected to inlet oil.
Each momentary increase of the torque acting on the camshaft generates a pressure pulse in the retard chamber. Oil moves
from the retard chamber, through the spool valve and the advance check valve to the advance chamber, to equalize the
pressures in the two chambers. The displacement of oil from the retard chamber causes the rotor assembly to advance in
relation to the sprocket housing. Each momentary decrease of torque acting on the camshaft also generates a pressure pulse
in the advance chamber, but, with the advance chamber oil passage closed, no movement of oil between the advance and
retard chambers occurs and the rotor assembly cannot move in the retard direction.

chamber oil passage and connect the advance chamber oil passage to the inlet oil.
Each momentary decrease of the torque acting on the camshaft causes oil to transfer from the advance chamber, through the
spool valve and the retard check valve to the retard chamber, and so retard the camshaft timing. www.JagDocs.com
