Intake Valve Timing Control Solenoid Valve: Description and Operation
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The valve timing control system is utilized to control intake valve opening and closing timing. Engine coolant temperature signals, engine speed and
throttle position are used to determine intake valve timing.
The intake camshaft sprocket position is regulated by oil pressure controlled by the intake valve timing control.
When ECM sends ON signal to intake valve timing control solenoid valve, oil pressure is transmitted to camshaft sprocket. Then, intake side camshaft
is advanced.
