Amanti V6-3.8L (2007)
Variable Valve Timing Actuator: Description and Operation
CVVT Oil Control Valve (OCV)
CVVT OIL CONTROL VALVE (OCV)
DESCRIPTION
Continuously Variable Valve Timing (CVVT) system controls valve overlap with forcibly activating the camshaft and adjusts EGR (Exhaust Gas
Recirculation) amount. It decreases exhaust gas (NOx, HC) and improves fuel economy, idle state, torque in low speed and power in high speed. This
system uses engine oil pressure and consists of the two CVVT Oil Control Valves (OCV) in each bank which supplies oil to cam phaser according to
PWM (Pulse Width Modulator) signal of the PCM, a CVVT Oil Temperature Sensor (OTS) which detects the oil temperature and a cam phaser which is
installed on the end of the camshaft and converts camshaft phase. The oil getting out of the CVVT oil control valve flows into the cam phaser and rotates
the rotor inside cam phaser. At this time, the camshaft rotates with the rotor and the cam phase is changed.
1. When camshaft rotates engine rotation-wise: Intake-Advance / Exhaust-Retard
2. When camshaft rotates counter engine rotation-wise: Intake-Retard / Exhaust- Advance
