DTC P0011: Intake Valve Timing Control Performance: Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Nissan Sentra. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The intake valve timing control system is utilized to control intake valve opening and closing timing. Engine coolant temperature signals, engine speed, amount of intake air, vehicle speed and throttle position are used to determine intake valve timing. The intake camshaft sprocket position is regulated by oil pressure controlled by the intake valve timing control. When ECM sends ON signal to intake valve timing control solenoid valve, oil pressure is transmitted to cam- shaft sprocket. Then, intake side camshaft is advanced. See Fig 1 .
