In order for the target valve timing is always reached, camshaft or crankshaft position sensor gives a signal in response correction.

Easily VVT-i system will continue to correct the valve timing or line out of fuel and air. Adjusted by stepping on the accelerator and expenses incurred in order to produce optimum torque at each wheel and engine load.
