GENERAL DESCRIPTION |
The CVVT (Continuously Variable Valve Timing) system is installed to the chain sprocket of the camshaft. This system controls the camshaft to provide the optimal valve timing for every driving condition. The ECM controls the Oil Control Valve(OCV), based on the signals output from mass air flow, throttle position and engine coolant temperature. The CVVT controller regulates the camshaft angle using oil pressure through the OCV. As result, the relative position between the camshaft and the crankshaft becomes optimal, and the engine torque improves, fuel economy improves, exhaust emissions decrease under over all driving conditions.
DTC DESCRIPTION |
ECM monitors CAM phaser error while CMP signal is normally generating and vehicle is driving in 2000 ~ 3000rpm .If the CAM phaser does not move although ECM commands OCV duty cycle ECM determines that a fault exists and a DTC is stored.
ECM monitors OCV stuck while cam signal is normally generating and Valve cleaning is not in progress .If the CAM acutal Position is too high or low and Difference between Cam Actual Position and Desire Position is higher than 20° ECM determines that a fault exists and a DTC is stored.

DIAGNOSTIC CIRCUIT DIAGRAM |
SYSTEM INSPECTION |
■ Visual Inspection |
1. |
Check oil level is O.K.
|
2. |
Check oil and OCV is contaminated.
|
3. |
Check for oil leakage around OCV.
|
4. |
Has a problem been found ?
|
COMPONENT INSPECTION |
■ Check OCV and Filter |
1. |
Check resistance of OCV
|
2. |
Check operation of OCV
|
3. |
Check OCV and Filter
|
4. |
Check CVVT(Continuously Variable Valve Timing) Assembly
