VCT control
In VCT control, the engine ECM determines the appropriate intake valve opening timing according
to the signals from the sensors. According to the engine operating conditions, the OCVs are oper-
ated and the VCT assemblies advance and retard the intake valve opening timing in order to
increase the intake and exhaust efficiency at low and mid-range engine speeds and obtain greater
acceleration.
