| Component | Description |
|---|---|
| K20 Engine Control Module | The control module controls a series of actuators to ensure optimal engine performance. The control module does this by reading values from a variety of sensors, interprets the data and adjusts the engine actuators accordingly. |
| Q6 Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve | A solenoid valve is an electro-mechanically operated valve. The valve is controlled by an electric current through the solenoid. |
The solenoid valve controls the flow of engine oil to the hydraulic actuator that adjusts the angle of the camshaft relative to the position of the crankshaft.
