Variable Valve Timing Mechanism
Function
• The variable valve timing mechanism continuously modifies the phases of the variable valve timing actuator
and the intake camshaft using hydraulic pressure controlled by the oil control valve (OCV) so that optimal valve
timing is obtained according to engine operation conditions.
• The oil control valve (OCV) operation is based on signals from the PCM according to engine operation
conditions and it controls hydraulic pressure to the variable valve timing actuator.
Operation and purpose according to driving condition
Idling range, light load range
• Due to a reduction in the amount of overlap, less combusted gas is returned to the intake port. This stabilizes
idle speed in the idling range, improving fuel economy, and also ensures engine stability in the light load range.
Medium load range
• Overlap amount has been increased and the EGR ratio inside the cylinder is higher. This reduces engine
friction loss (pumping loss), lowering the combustion temperature and reducing the amount of NOx the in
exhaust gas. The amount of hydrocarbon emission has also been reduced through reignition of non-combusted
gas.
Heavy load, low-middle speed range
• The intake valve is closed early, and high volumetric efficiency is obtained to improve low-middle speed torque.
Heavy load, high speed range
• Timing for intake valve closure is delayed and high volumetric efficiency is obtained to improve maximum
output.
When temperature is low
• The overlap amount has been minimized to prevent combusted gas from returning to the intake port and to
reduce the additional fuel injection amount. This improves fuel economy and stabilizes fast idle speed.
When engine is started or stopped
• Startability has been improved because the overlap amount has been minimized to prevent combusted gas
from returning to the intake port.

Component and Function
Operation outline
• The variable valve timing actuator has two hydraulic chambers: a valve timing advance chamber and a valve
timing retard chamber. They are located between the integrated housing of the camshaft sprocket and the
camshaft integrated rotor. The oil pump supplies engine oil. to each chamber. Hydraulic pressure applied to
each chamber is controlled by the oil control valve (OCV) and the relative phases of the camshaft sprocket and
the camshaft are modified to obtain optimum valve timing according to engine operation conditions.
At engine start
• When the stopper pin in the variable valve timing actuator engages with the rotor, which is at the position of
maximum valve timing retard due to spring force, the camshaft sprocket and the camshaft rotate as one unit.
When the oil pump pressure rises and the stopper pin is disengaged, it becomes possible to modify the relative
angles of the camshaft sprocket and the camshaft.
Advancing valve timing
• When the spool valve in the oil control valve (OCV) moves to the left according to the PCM signal, hydraulic
pressure, from the oil pump, feeds into the valve timing advance passage and finally to the valve timing
advance chamber in the variable valve timing actuator. Then, the rotor integrated with the camshaft rotates in
the valve timing advance direction, against the housing driven by the crankshaft, and the valve timing is
advanced.
Variable valve timing actuator
• Continuously modifies the phases of the intake camshaft and crankshaft at the forward
end of the intake camshaft using hydraulic pressure from the oil control valve (OCV).
Oil control valve (OCV)
• Operated by current (duty signal) from the PCM. Switches the hydraulic oil passages
to the variable valve timing actuator.
CKP sensor
• Inputs engine revolution signal to the PCM.
CMP sensor
• Inputs cylinder identification signal to the PCM.
PCM
• Controls the oil control valve (OCV) so that optimum valve timing is obtained according
to engine operation conditions.
