Purpose, Function

• The OCV switches the oil passage to the hydraulic variable valve timing actuator to control the opening/closing period of the exhaust valve.



Construction

• The OCV is installed to the exhaust camshaft cap (No.1).
• The OCV consists of a spool valve which switches the engine oil passage and a plunger, coil, and return spring which operate the spool valve.

Middle point maintenance

• The spool valve is moved to the closed position of the oil passage to the exhaust camshaft by the signal from the PCM.
• The construction is designed to supply a small amount of oil to the advance and retard oil passages even while the middle point is maintained, improving holding stability while at low oil pressure.
