VCT Operating Ranges
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2019 Jaguar XJ and 2018 Jaguar XJ. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
| CAMSHAFT | VALVE OPENS | VALVE CLOSES |
|---|---|---|
| Intake | 33 degrees before top dead center (BTDC) to 29 degrees after top dead center (ATDC) | 197 to 259 degrees ATDC |
| Exhaust | 236 to 186 degrees BTDC | 6 to 56 degrees ATDC |
The system consists of a VCT unit and a VCT solenoid for each camshaft. The ECM controls the system using pulse width modulation (PWM) signals to the VCT solenoids.
The torsional energy generated by the valve springs and the inertia of the valve train components are used to operate the system.
