Component Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Infiniti G35. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Exhaust valve timing control magnet retarder controls the shut/open timing of the exhaust valve by ON/OFF pulse duty signals sent from the ECM.

The longer pulse width retards valve angle.

The shorter pulse width advances valve angle.
