Variable Cylinder Management

A System in some Honda engines that allows it to disable cylinders for increased fuel economy.

Variable Cylinder Management (VCM) is Honda's term for its variable displacement technology, which saves fuel by deactivating the rear bank of 3 cylinders during specific driving conditions—for example, highway driving. It was first introduced in the 2005 Honda Odyssey minivan. The second version of VCM (VCM-2) took this a step further, allowing the engine to go from 6 cylinders, down to 4 or 3 during cruising and deceleration. This version had an "ECO" indicator light on the dashboard. The most recent version of VCM (VCM-3) reverted to the previous 3- and 6-cylinder operation.
