DTC Confirmation Procedure (Cont'd)
EC-450

SEF354Z
Component DescriptionNBEC0697Intake valve timing control solenoid valve is activated by ON/OFF
pulse duty (ratio) signals from the ECM.
The intake valve timing control solenoid valve changes the oil
amount and direction of flow through intake valve timing control unit
or stops oil flow.
The longer pulse width advances valve angle.
The shorter pulse width retards valve angle.
When ON and OFF pulse widths become equal, the solenoid valve
stops oil pressure flow to fix the intake valve angle at the control
position.

5. Check the following.
IThe angle of a corresponding INT/V TIM (B1)/(B2) to setting TARGET INT/V TIM confirms the variation.
Without CONSULT-II
1. Remove intake valve timing control solenoid valve.
2. Reconnect intake valve timing control solenoid valve harness connector.
3. Supply intake valve timing control solenoid valve terminals with battery voltage as shown below.
