Operation

• Engine oil which is suctioned by the oil pump flows to the variable valve timing actuator via the oil control valve
(OCV). The hydraulic pressure applied to the variable valve timing actuator is controlled by the OCV and the
relative phase of the camshaft sprocket and camshaft is changed to optimize the valve timing depending on the
engine operation conditions.

OIL PUMP
• Continuously modifies the phases of the intake camshaft and crankshaft at the forward
end of the intake camshaft using hydraulic pressure from the oil control valve (OCV).
• Operated by current from the PCM. Switches the hydraulic oil passages to the variable
valve timing actuator.
• Controls the OCV so that optimum valve timing is obtained according to engine
operation conditions.
