Control device for variable valve mechanism

摘要

A brushless motor of a variable valve mechanism varies a actuation parameter of an intake valve of an engine. A position sensor outputs a pulse signal when the brushless motor rotates. A position counter calculates a counter value by counting edges of the pulse signal. A motor control device obtains a detection value of a motor rotational angle based on the counter value when the motor control device is in a powered state. An engine control device determines that the detection value of the motor rotational angle is displaced from the actual value when the engine control device detects that the engine is operating and the motor control device portion is in a non-powered state.
