Fault effect and breakdown warning
Breakdown notice:
Continued driving is usually not possible.
Possible apparent symptoms:
If the malfunction occurs while the VVT system is not at its maximum stroke position, the engine stalls/vehicle breaks down. Engine will not restart, as the VVT driver circuit is deactivated and the VVT system reverts to minimum stroke. If the fault occurs at maximum stroke, unrestricted throttled operation is possible.
