摘要： In detecting the occurrence of an abnormality in a variable valve timing mechanism, which continuously changes a valve timing by advancing or delaying the displacement angle of an intake-side cam shaft with respect to a crankshaft, an abnormality detecting apparatus for a valve timing control apparatus determines that the variable valve timing mechanism is failing when the absolute value of the difference between a target displacement angle and a correct real displacement angle, obtained by subtracting the maximum delay-angle learning value from the real displacement angle, is greater than a first predetermined value and the absolute value of the difference between a correct real displacement angle and a previous correct real displacement angle is equal to or smaller than a second predetermined value.

摘要： A valve timing control apparatus that continuously controls the valve timing of an intake valve or an exhaust valve of an engine. This apparatus includes a hydraulic variable valve timing mechanism, a hydraulic control valve and an electronic control unit for controlling the control valve. The variable valve timing mechanism alters the valve timing to change the valve overlap of the intake valve with respect to the exhaust valve. The hydraulic control valve controls the hydraulic pressure supplied to the variable valve timing mechanism. The real phase of the valve timing is coincided with a target phase that corresponds with the running conditions of the engine. When the real phase of the valve timing approaches the target phase, the hydraulic control valve is controlled to sustain the phase of that instant. The electronic control unit, which learns the control state of the valve-timing sustaining control, sets an initial learning value that reduces the valve overlap when the learning has started. A restricting means for restricting a correction means is included.

摘要： An improvement of a valve timing control apparatus for an engine is disclosed. The apparatus has an intake valve and an exhaust valve which are alternately opened and closed in a valve timing sequence according to a rotation of a cam shaft. A timing pulley mounted on the cam shaft has a housing accommodating a plunger movable therein and a sleeve secured to the cam shaft. The housing has a first and second pressure chambers defined by the plunger and sealed with respect to each other. The plunger is arranged to move in an axial direction to selectively advance and retard the cam shaft based on differential pressure between the first pressure chamber and the second pressure chamber. A controller controls an electromagnetic valve with a specific control value to adjust the fluid pressure to be supplied to the first and second pressure chambers to maintain the valve timing sequence converged to a target valve timing. The controller corrects the specific value based on a rotational speed of the engine when the plunger is in one of the extreme positions in the chambers, and adjusts the fluid pressures based on the corrected specific value.

摘要： A cam shaft of an engine is provided with a timing change mechanism (VVT) which is driven by hydraulic pressure to alter the timing of a intake valve (valve timing). This VVT is controlled to change the valve overlap of the intake valve and an exhaust valve, thereby adjusting the suction and exhaust in and from a combustion chamber. To control the VVT, an electronic control unit (ECU) computes a target value for the valve timing in accordance with the running condition of the engine and controls the supply of the hydraulic pressure to the VVT based on the target value. The ECU determines the level of the actual hydraulic pressure given to the VVT. When the actual valve timing does not lie in a predetermined range with respect to the target value, the ECU determines that an abnormality has occurred in the VVT, and executes a predetermined fail safe routine. When the hydraulic pressure is equal to or smaller than a reference value, the ECU suppresses VVT malfunction determinations.
