When the onboard diagnostic system (OBD) detects a malfunction in the variable valve lift function, the software program may freeze, causing the OBD malfunction indicator light not to illuminate as required. This could lead to the intake valve operating at maximum lift, resulting in increased emissions and posing an unreasonable emission risk.
