Variable Camshaft Timing Unit Schematic - Null
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2015 Jaguar XKR-S, 2015 Jaguar XKR, 2014 Jaguar XKR-S, 2014 Jaguar XKR, and 2013 Jaguar XKR-S. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Once the camshaft has reached the required timing position the ECM adjusts the signal to the VCT solenoid to set the spool valve in the null position. In the null position, the advance and retard chamber oil passages are both closed by the spool valve and the rotor assembly is hydraulically locked to the sprocket housing.
