SYSTEM
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
When starting the engine by cold start, ECM judges the
locked/unlocked state when ignition switch is turned
ON. When judged as locked state (fixed at the intermedi ate phase), the intake valve timing intermediate lock
control solenoid valve is activated. Since oil pre ssure does not act on the lock key even when the engine is
started, the cam phase is fixed at the intermediate phas e and the intake valve timing control is not performed.
When the engine stops without locking the cam phase at the intermediate phase due to an engine stall and the
state is not judged as locked, the intake valve timing intermediate lock control solenoid valve and the intake
valve timing control solenoid valve are activated and the cam phase shifts to the advanced position to be
locked at the intermediate phase. Even when not locked in the intermediate lock phase due to no oil pressure
or low oil pressure, a ratchet structure of the camshaft sprocket (INT) rotor allows the conversion to the inter-
mediate phase in stages by engine vibration.
When engine coolant temperature is more than 60 °C, the intake valve timing is controlled by deactivating the
intake valve timing intermediate lock control so lenoid valve and releasing the intermediate phase lock.
When the engine is started after warming up, ECM releas es the intermediate phase lock immediately after the
engine start and controls the intake valve timing.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
This mechanism hydraulically controls cam phases c
ontinuously with the fixed operating angle of the exhaust
valve.
The ECM receives signals such as crankshaft position, camshaft position, engine speed, and engine oil tem-
perature. Then, the ECM sends ON/OFF pulse duty signal s to the exhaust valve timing (EVT) control solenoid
valve depending on driving status. This makes it possible to control the shut/open timing of the exhaust valve
to increase engine torque and output in a range of high engine speed.
INTAKE MANIFOLD RUNNER CONTROL
INTAKE MANIFOLD RUNNER CONTROL : System DescriptionINFOID:0000000009462098
SYSTEM DIAGRAM
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Intake manifold runner control valve has a valve portion in the intake passage of each cylinder.
While idling and during low engine coolant temperature, t he intake manifold runner control valve closes. Thus
the velocity of the air in the intake passage increases , promoting the vaporization of the fuel and producing a
intake manifold runner in the combustion chamber.
Because of this operation, this system tends to in crease the burning speed of the gas mixture, improve
exhaust emission, and increase the stability in running conditions.

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 a 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 normal engine oil pressure, ECM turns OFF the oil pressure warning lamp.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
This system improves engine operation when the air conditioner is used.
Under the following conditions, the air conditioner is turned off.
• When cranking the engine.
• At high engine speeds.
• When the engine coolant temperature becomes excessively high.
• When operating power steering during low engine speed or low vehicle speed.
• When engine speed is excessively low.
• When refrigerant pressure is excessively low or high.
