COMPONENT PARTS
ECM receives the signals as shown in the figure.
Intake Valve Timing Control Solenoid ValveINFOID:0000000009462066
Intake 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.
Intake Valve Timing Intermediate Lock Control Solenoid ValveINFOID:0000000009462067
Intake valve timing intermediate lock control solenoid valve is acti-
vated by ON/OFF signals from the ECM.
The intake valve timing intermediate lock control solenoid valve
opens/closes the path of oil pressure acting on the lock key in the
camshaft sprocket (INT).
• When the solenoid valve becomes ON, oil pressure to the lock key
is trained to perform intermediate lock.
• When the solenoid valve becomes OFF, oil pressure is acted on the lock key to release the intermediate lock.
Exhaust Valve Timing Control Position SensorINFOID:0000000009462068
Exhaust valve timing control position sensor detects the protrusion of
the signal plate installed to the exhaust camshaft front end.
This sensor signal is used for sensing a position of the exhaust cam-
shaft.
The sensor consists of a permanent magnet and Hall IC.
When engine is running, the high and low parts of the teeth cause
the gap with the sensor to change.
The changing gap causes the magnetic field near the sensor to
change.
Due to the changing magnetic field, the voltage from the sensor
changes.

Knock SensorINFOID:0000000009462074
The knock sensor is attached to t
he cylinder block. It senses engine
knocking using a piezoelectric el ement. A knocking vibration from
the cylinder block is sensed as vibrational pressure. This pressure is
converted into a voltage signal and sent to the ECM.
Engine Oil Pressure SensorINFOID:0000000009462075
The engine oil pressure (EOP) sens or is detects engine oil pressure
and transmits a voltage signal to the ECM.
Engine Oil Temperature SensorINFOID:0000000009462076
The engine oil temperature sensor is used to detect the engine oil
temperature. The sensor modifies a voltage signal from the ECM.
The modified signal returns to the ECM as the engine oil tempera-
ture input. The sensor uses a ther mistor which is sensitive to the
change in temperature. The electrical resistance of the thermistor
decreases as temperature increases.

SYSTEM
System Description
This mechanism hydraulically controls cam phases c
ontinuously with the fixed operating angle of the intake
valve.
The ECM receives signals such as crankshaft posit ion, camshaft position, engine speed, and engine coolant
temperature. Then, the ECM sends ON/OFF pulse duty si gnals to the intake valve timing (IVT) control sole-
noid valve depending on driving status. This makes it po ssible to control the shut/open timing of the intake
valve to increase engine torque in low/mid speed range and output in high-speed range.

The intake valve timing intermediate lock control improv
es the cleaning ability of exhaust gas at cold starting
by fixing the camshaft sprocket (INT) with two lock keys and bringing the cam phase into intermediate phase.
Cam phase is fixed at the intermediate phase by two lock keys in the camshaft sprocket (INT). Lock key 1 con-
trols retard position and lock key 2 controls advance position.
ECM controls the intermediate phase lock by opening/clos ing the intake valve timing intermediate lock control
solenoid valve to control oil pressure acti ng on the lock key and locking/unlocking the lock key.
Lock/Unlock Activation
When ECM activates the intake valve timing intermediate lock control solenoid valve, oil pressure generated in
the oil pump is drained through the oil pressure path in t he control valve. Since oil pressure is not acted on the
lock key, the lock key position is fixed by the spri ng tension and the cam phase is fixed at the intermediate
phase.
When ECM deactivates the intake valve timing intermediate lock control solenoid valve, unlocking oil pressure
acts on each lock key. Lock key 1 is not released because it is under load due to sprocket rotational force. For
this reason, lock key 2 is released first by being pushed up by unlocking oil pressure. When lock key 2 is
released, some clearance is formed between lock key 1 and the rotor due to sprocket rotational force and
return spring force. Accordingly, lock key 1 is pushed up by unlocking oil pressure and the intermediated
phase lock is released.
When stopping the engine
When the ignition switch is turned from idle state to OFF, ECM receives an ignition switch signal from BCM via
CAN communication and activates the intake valve timing intermediate lock control solenoid valve and drains
oil pressure acting on the lock key before activating the intake valve timing control solenoid valve and operat-
ing the cam phase toward the advance position.
The cam phase is fixed by the lock key when shifting to the intermediated phase and ECM performs Lock
judgment to stop the engine.

SYSTEM
When starting the engine by cold start, ECM judges the
locked/unlocked state when ignition switch is turned
ON. When judged as locked state (fixed at the intermedi ate phase), the intake valve timing intermediate lock
control solenoid valve is activated. Since oil pre ssure does not act on the lock key even when the engine is
started, the cam phase is fixed at the intermediate phas e and the intake valve timing control is not performed.
When the engine stops without locking the cam phase at the intermediate phase due to an engine stall and the
state is not judged as locked, the intake valve timing intermediate lock control solenoid valve and the intake
valve timing control solenoid valve are activated and the cam phase shifts to the advanced position to be
locked at the intermediate phase. Even when not locked in the intermediate lock phase due to no oil pressure
or low oil pressure, a ratchet structure of the camshaft sprocket (INT) rotor allows the conversion to the inter-
mediate phase in stages by engine vibration.
When engine coolant temperature is more than 60 °C, the intake valve timing is controlled by deactivating the
intake valve timing intermediate lock control so lenoid valve and releasing the intermediate phase lock.
When the engine is started after warming up, ECM releas es the intermediate phase lock immediately after the
engine start and controls the intake valve timing.

• ECM blinks MIL for about 10 seconds if all SRT codes are not set.
MALFUNCTION WARNING MODE
Description
In this function ECM turns on or blinks MIL when it detects a malfunction in the emission control system com-
ponents and/or the powertrain control components (which affe ct vehicle emissions) to inform the driver that a
malfunction has been detected.
Operation Procedure
1. Turn ignition switch ON.
2. Check that MIL illuminates. If it remains OFF, check MIL circuit. Refer to EC-517, "Diagnosis Procedure"
.
3. Start engine and let it idle. • For two trip detection logic diagnoses, ECM turns on MIL when it detects the same malfunction twice in
the two consecutive driving cycles.
• For 1st trip detection logic diagnoses, ECM turns on MIL when it detects a malfunction in one driving cycle.
• ECM blinks MIL when it detects a malfunction t hat may damage the three way catalyst (misfire).
SELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS MODE
Description
This function allows to indicate DTCs or 1st trip DTCs stored in ECM according to the number of times MIL is
blinking.
How to Set Self-diagnostic Results Mode
NOTE:
• It is better to count the time accurately with a clock.
• It is impossible to switch the diagnostic mode when an accelerator pedal position sensor circuit has a mal-
function.
• After ignition switch is turned off, ECM is a lways released from the “self-diagnostic results” mode.
1. Confirm that accelerator pedal is fully releas ed, turn ignition switch ON and wait 3 seconds.
2. Repeat the following procedure quick ly five times within 5 seconds.
• Fully depress the accelerator pedal.
• Fully release the accelerator pedal.
3. Wait 7 seconds, fully depress the accelerator pedal and keep it depressed for approx. 10 seconds until the
MIL starts blinking.
NOTE:
Do not release the accelerator pedal for 10 seconds if MIL starts blinking during this period. This blinking
is displaying SRT status and is continued for another 10 seconds.
4. Fully release the accelerator pedal. ECM has entered to “Self-diagnostic results” mode.

DTC RELATED ITEM
Description
When a DTC is detected, ECM executes a mode (in the
Fail-safe mode) applicable to the DTC. The fail-safe
mode has the preset traveling control mode (acceler ator angle variation and engine output limit) and device fix

to the fuel cut When there is an open circuit on MIL circuit, the ECM cannot warn the
driver by lighting up MIL when there is malfunction on engine control
system.
Therefore, when electrical controlled throttle and part of ECM related
diagnoses are continuously detected as NG for 5 trips, ECM warns the
driver that engine control system malfunctions and MIL circuit is open
by means of operating fail safe function.
The fail safe function also operates when above diagnoses except MIL
