Two rocker arm oil control solenoids open and close based on commands from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM), and oil pressure is applied then removed from the Valve Pause System (VPS) to alter valve timing and valve operation.
The PCM monitors the switching mechanism’s oil pressure using an Engine Oil Pressure (EOP) sensor and a rocker arm oil pressure switch downstream of the rocker arm oil control solenoid. The PCM compares the oil pressure based on the PCM command and the oil pressure status from the EOP sensor and rocker arm oil pressure switch to determine if the system is operating normally.

The A/F sensor is a planar dual-cell limit current sensor. The sensing element of the A/F sensor is the combination of a Nernst concentration cell (sensor cell) with an oxygen pump cell, which transports ions. It has a heating element within the element.
The sensor is capable of accurately measuring λ=1, but also in the lean and rich ranges. With its control electronics, the sensor outputs a clear and continuous signal over a wide λ range (0.7 < λ < air).
The exhaust gas components diffuse through the diffusion gap at the oxygen pump electrode and the Nernst concentration cell, where they are brought to thermodynamic equilibrium.
An electronic circuit controls the pump current through the oxygen pump cell so that the composition of the exhaust gas in the diffusion gap remains constant at =1. Therefore, the A/F sensor is able to indicate the air/fuel ratio by this pumping current. Additionally, a heating element is built into the sensor to ensure the required operating temperature of 700 to 800°C (1,292 to 1,472°F).
