Possible Fault Causes
- Loose reluctor on VVT sensor
- Defective VVT servo motor (soft interturn short circuit makes resistance too low in motor winding)
- Short circuit in wiring harness (wire between VVT servo motor and DME)
- 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.
