SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
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.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
• The engine protection control at low engine oil pressure warns the driver of a decrease in engine oil pres-
sure by the oil pressure warning lamp before the engine becomes damaged.
• When detecting a decrease in engine oil pressure at an engine speed less than 1,000 rpm, ECM transmits
an oil pressure warning lamp signal to the combination meter.The combination meter turns ON the oil pres-
sure warning lamp, according to the signal.
• When detecting a decrease in engine oil pressure at an engine speed 1,000 rpm or more, ECM transmits an
oil pressure warning lamp signal to the combination meter.
The combination meter turns ON the oil pressure warning lamp, according to the signals. When detecting a
decrease in engine oil pressure, ECM cuts fuel if the engine speed exceeds the specified value.
*: When detecting a normal engine oil pressure, ECM turns OFF the oil pressure warning lamp.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The fuel filler cap warning system alerts the driver to the prevention of the fuel filler being left uncapped and
malfunction occurrences after refueling, by turning ON the fuel filler cap warning display on the combination
meter.
ECM judges a refueled state, based on a fuel leve l signal transmitted from the combination meter.
When a very small leak is detected through the EVAP leak diagnosis performed after judging the refueled
state, ECM transmits a fuel filler cap warning display signal (request for display ON) to the combination meter
via CAN communication.
When receiving the signal, the combination meter tu rns ON the fuel filler cap warning display.
CAUTION:
Check fuel filler cap installation condition when the fuel filler cap warning display turns ON.
Reset Operation
The fuel filler cap warning lamp tunes OFF, according to any condition listed below:
• Reset operation is performed by operating the me ter control switch on the combination meter.
- When the reset operation is performed, the combination me ter transmits a fuel filler cap warning reset signal
to ECM via CAN communication. ECM transmits a fuel filler cap warning display signal (request for display
OFF) to the combination meter via CAN communication. When receiving the signal, the combination meter
turns OFF the fuel filler cap warning display.
• EVAP leak diagnosis result is normal.
• Fuel refilled.
• DTC erased by using CONSULT.

In the medium speed range, the ECM sends the ON si
gnal to the VIAS control solenoid valve. This signal
introduces the intake manifold vacuum into the power valve actuator and therefore closes the power valve.
Under this condition, the pressure waves of the exhaust stroke do not disturb the pressure waves of the intake
stroke of each opposite bank. Therefore, charging efficiency is increased together with the effect of the long
intake passage.
However, in the high speed range, the ECM sends the OF F signal to the VIAS control solenoid valve and the
power valve is opened. Under this condition, the pressure waves of intake stroke are resonant with those of
each opposite bank exhaust stroke. Therefore, charging efficiency is also increased.
In addition, both valves 1 and 2 are opened or closed in other ranges mentioned above. Thus maximum
charging efficiency is obtained for the various driving conditions.
