Nissan Altima (L32) 2007-2012 Service Manual: Intake valve timing control
System Diagram
System Description
INPUT/OUTPUT SIGNAL CHART
*: This signal is sent to the ECM via the CAN communication line
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
This mechanism hydraulically controls cam phases continuously with the fixed operating angle of the intake valve.
The ECM receives signals such as crankshaft position, camshaft position, engine speed, and engine coolant temperature. Then, the ECM sends ON/OFF pulse duty signals to the intake valve timing (IVT) control solenoid valve depending on driving status. This makes it possible to control the shut/open timing of the intake valve to increase engine torque in low/mid speed range and output in high-speed range.

P0181 FTT sensor
Description
The fuel tank temperature sensor is used to detect the fuel temperature
inside the fuel tank. The sensor modifies a voltage signal from
the ECM. The modified signal returns to the ECM as the fuel temperature
input. The sensor uses a thermistor which is sensitive to the
change in tem ...
