Variable Intake Module
Variable Intake Manifold: In the N62 engine, the infinitely variable intake manifold is operated by turning the rotor in the intake manifold.
Adjustments to the intake manifold are carried out by the ECM controlling a drive unit. The drive unit is mounted on the rear of the intake manifold.
The drive unit consists of a 12 V DC electric motor with worm gears and an integral potentiometer for the intake manifold position feedback.
The drive unit is equipped with a 5-pin connector. If the drive unit fails, the system remains in its current position. The driver may notice a loss in power.
