Component Location





General Description

The CVVT (Continuously Variable Valve Timing) system is installed to the chain sprocket of the camshaft. This system controls the camshaft to provide the optimal valve timing for every driving condition. The ECM controls the Oil Control Valve (OCV), based on the signals output from mass air flow, throttle position and engine coolant temperature. The CVVT controller regulates the camshaft angle using oil pressure through the OCV. As result, the relative position between the camshaft and the crankshaft becomes optimal, and the engine torque improves, fuel economy improves, exhaust emissions decrease under over all driving conditions.

DTC Description

ECM monitors CAM phasing average rate while cam signal is normally generating.
ECM determines that a fault exists and a DTC is stored while vehicle is tip - in and out driving for 5 minutes.
ECM monitors CAM phaser error while CMP signal is normally generating and vehicle is driving in 2000 - 3000 rpm.
If the CAM phaser does not move although ECM commands OCV duty cycle ECM determines that a fault exists and a DTC is stored.
ECM monitors OCV stuck while cam sinal is normally generating and Valve cleaning is not in progress.
If the CAM Actual Position is too high or low and Difference between Cam Actual Position and Desire Position is higher than 20° ECM determines that a fault exists and a DTC is stored.

This example shows a typical Crankshaft Position Sensor (CKPS) and Camshaft Position Sensor (CMPS) waveform at idle. (Fig.1) If the 17th signal of the CKPS after missing tooth is aligned with the high signal of the CMPS at idle, ECM recognizes that Synchronization between CKPS and CMPS is completed. Under accelerating condition, the number of teeth between missing tooth and tooth aligned with edge of the CMPS high signal is decreased from idle condition. (Fig.2)
