    The VVT-i system continuously varies the intake camshaft timing to optimize engine performance for different operating conditions. The ECM controls a camshaft timing oil control valve to advance or retard valve timing based on sensors. This improves torque, fuel economy and emissions by adjusting valve overlap and timing. The system stabilizes idle speed, improves low-speed torque and high-speed output, enhances emissions control and fuel efficiency, and ensures reliable starting.

    8. VVT-i (Variable Valve Timing-intelligent) System


    General
     The VVT-i system is designed to control the intake camshaft within a range of 60 (of Crankshaft Angle)
    to provide valve timing that is optimally suited to the engine condition. This improves torque in all the
    speed ranges as well as increasing fuel economy, and reducing exhaust emissions.

     Using the engine speed, intake air volume, throttle position and engine coolant temperature, the ECM
    can calculate optimal valve timing for each driving condition and controls the camshaft timing oil control
    valve. In addition, the ECM uses signals from the camshaft position sensor and the crankshaft position
    sensor to detect the actual valve timing, thus providing feedback control to achieve the target valve
    timing.

    Construction
    1) VVT-i Controller

    This controller consists of the housing driven from the exhaust camshaft and the vane coupled with the
    intake camshaft.
    The oil pressure sent from the advance or retard side path at the intake camshaft causes rotation in the VVT-i
    controller vane circumferential direction to vary the intake valve timing continuously.
    When the engine is stopped, the intake camshaft will be in the most retarded state to ensure startability.
    When hydraulic pressure is not applied to the VVT-i controller immediately after the engine has been
    started, the lock pin locks the movement of the VVT-i controller to prevent a knocking noise.

    2) Camshaft Timing Oil Control Valve


    This camshaft timing oil control valve controls the spool valve position in accordance with the duty-cycle
    control from the ECM. This allows hydraulic pressure to be applied to the VVT-i controller advance or
    retard side. When the engine is stopped, the camshaft timing oil control valve is in the most retarded state.

    Operation
    1) Advance
    When the camshaft timing oil control valve is positioned as illustrated below by the advance signals from
    the ECM, the resultant oil pressure is applied to the vane chamber of advance side to rotate the camshaft
    in the timing advance direction.

    2) Retard
    When the camshaft timing oil control valve is positioned as illustrated below by the retard signals from
    the ECM, the resultant oil pressure is applied to the vane chamber of retard side to rotate the camshaft in
    the timing retard direction.

    3) Hold
    After reaching the target timing, the valve timing is held by keeping the camshaft timing oil control valve
    in the neutral position unless the traveling state changes.
    This adjusts the valve timing at the desired target position and prevents the engine oil from running out
    when it is unnecessary.
