OUTPUT FUNCTIONS -VANOS CONTROL
With the double VANOS system, the valve timing is changed on both the intake and the
exhaust camshafts.
Double VANOS provides the following benefits:
• Torque increase in the low to mid (1500 - 2000 RPM) range without power loss in the
upper RPM range.
• Less incomplete combustion when idling due to less camshaft overlap (also improves
idle speed characteristics).
• Internal exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) in the part load range (reduces NOx and post-
combustion of residual gasses in the exhaust)
• Rapid catalyst warm up and lower “raw” emissions after cold start.
• Reduction in fuel consumption
Double VANOS consists of the following parts:
• Intake and exhaust camshafts with helical gear insert
• Sprockets with adjustable gears
• VANOS actuators for each camshaft
• 2 three-way solenoid switching valves
• 2 impulse wheels for detecting camshaft position
• 2 camshaft position sensors (Hall effect)
The “initial” timing is set by gear positioning (refer to the Repair Instructions for details) and
the chain tensioner. As with the previous VANOS, the hydraulically controlled actuators
move the helical geared cups to regulate camshaft timing. The angled teeth of the helical
gears cause the pushing
movement of the helical cup to be converted into a rotational
movement. This rotational movement is added to the turning of the camshafts and cause
the camshafts to “advance” or “retard”. The adjustment rate is dependent oil temperature,
oil pressure, and engine RPM.

CRUISE CONTROL
Cruise control is integrated into the ECM because of the EDK operation.
Cruise control functions are activated directly by the multifunction steering wheel to the
ECM. The individual buttons are digitally encoded in the MFL switch and is input to the ECM
over a serial data wire.
The ECM controls vehicle speed by activation of the Electronic Throttle Valve (EDK)
The clutch switch disengages cruise control to prevent over-rev during gear changes.
The brake light switch and the brake light test switch are input to the ECM to disengage
cruise control as well as fault recognition during engine operation of the EDK.
Road speed is input to the ECM for cruise control as well as DSC regulation. The vehicle
speed signal for normal engine operation is supplied from the DSC module (right rear wheel
speed sensor). The road speed signal for cruise control is supplied from the DSC module.
This is an average taken from both front wheel speed sensors, supplied via the CAN bus.
