Possible Fault Causes

  1. Loose reluctor on VVT sensor
  2. Defective VVT servo motor (soft interturn short circuit makes resistance too low in motor winding)
  3. Short circuit in wiring harness (wire between VVT servo motor and DME)
  4. Abuse of accelerator pedal module. Brief, rapid repeated pressure on the accelerator pedal extending over a period of time increases current flow within the VVT system.
