Engine Control - P0028 Intake Valve Control Solenoid Circuit Range/Performance (Bank 2) General Information

Component Location





General Description

The CVVT (Continuously Variable Valve Timing) system is installed to the chain sprocket of the intake camshaft. This system controls the intake 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 intake 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 OCV stuck while cam sinal is normally generating and Valve cleaning is not in progress.
If the CAM Actual Position is too high or low and Difference between Cam Actual Positioned Desire Position is higher than 20° ECM determines that a fault exists and a DTC is stored.

The oil control valve is commanded by a pulse-with-modulated signal from the engine control unit. A duty cycle of zero commands the cam phaser to its default position. A duty cycle of 100% commands the cam phaser to its maximum phased position. When the phaser must be controlled to an intermediate position, the duty cycle is maintained in the region of the 'hold position'. This is a medium duty cycle, usually between 35% and 65%, depending on temperature and voltage conditions.
