PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a variable cam timing system to perform the control based on the switching value. SOLUTION: The method according to the present invention to control the variable cam timing system for an internal combustion engine, works with a process to determine the measuring angle phase between a cam shaft and a crank shaft using measuring pulses, a process to determine the switching value equivalent to the difference between the set point and the measuring angle phase, and a process to control an on-off solenoid on the basis of the switching value. If the switching value is larger than zero, the on-off solenoid is turned on to allow the fluid to flow in the first direction between a plurality of chambers, and if smaller than zero, the solenoid is turned off to allow the fluid to flow in the second direction opposite the first direction between the chambers.
