1. CVVL Sensor
CVVL (Continuously Variable Valve Lift) is a system that can change the valve lift continuously and it controls the amount of air flow by variable valve lifting. CVVL drives the valve lifts with optimization for engine RPM and improves fuel efficiency through reducing the pumping and friction loss. Also it can reduce the activation time of catalyst by improvement of response speed for acceleration.Motor control power is supplied through CVVL relay. ECU sets DTC when CVVL relay has a electrical problem.
ECU sets P103C when there is an electrical error for CVVL relay.
