Nissan Maxima Service and Repair Manual: P0078, P0084 EVT control magnet retarder
Description
Exhaust valve timing control magnet retarder (1) 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 timing.
The shorter pulse width advances valve timing.
