Component DescriptionNBEC0705Intake valve advance unit position sensors are located in the front
cylinder heads in both right/left banks.
This sensor uses a Hall IC (element).
The cam position is determined by the intake primary cam sprocket
concave (in three places). The ECM provides feedback to the
intake valve timing control for appropriate target valve open-close
timing according to drive conditions based on detected cam posi-
tion.

ECM Terminals and Reference ValueNBEC0707Specification data are reference values, and are measured between each terminal and ground.
CAUTION:
Do not use ECM ground terminals when measuring input/output voltage. Doing so may result in dam-
age to the ECM's transistor. Use a ground other than the ECM terminals, such as the ground.
