VVT Sensor

A VVT sensor is mounted on the intake side of each
cylinder head. To detect the camshaft position, a
timing rotor that is provided ont the VVT-i control-
ler is used to generate 3 pulses for every 2 revolu-
tions of the crankshaft.

6. VVT-i (Variable Valve Timing-intelligent) System

General

The VVT-i system is designed to control the intake camshaft within a wide range of 60

° (of crankshaft

angle) to provide a valve timing that is optimally suited to the engine condition, thus realizing improved
torque in all the speed ranges and fuel economy, and reduce exhaust emissions.
