P1062 MINI Meaning
The Valvetronic system (VVT) is a variable valve lift (VVL) system that, in combination with variable valve timing, allows infinite adjustment of intake valve timing and duration. The system helps improve fuel economy and emissions while eliminating the need for a throttle body during normal operation. Valvetronic electronic control depends on voltage limits, adaptations, current, and power stage temperature. The VVT must be in emergency operation mode (meaning no VVT sensor signal is present) and the unit moves to the upper stroke limit at a 30% pulse duty cycle for the VVT motor. Mass air intake flow is used as an indicator to determine whether maximum VVT stroke has been achieved.
