What it is, I can tell you with certainty. Since 2012, I have worked as a technician for Kia, and I have been a mechanic since 1980. Variable Charge Motion Actuator is referred to as VCM. If your vehicle has a p200a history code or is still within the production date, which I assume it is since you received a notice to bring it in, This update has nothing to do with the body and is a component of the engine control module. It is an element of the emission system that controls the vents inside the intake manifold by opening and closing them. It is attached to the intake manifold. The update is used to periodically calibrate the system, and Kia began experiencing problems with these updates in the middle of 2014 on a variety of models, including the Sorento and, in some cases, Sportage. Recalibrating the ECM is a quick and easy process that won’t take more than 30 minutes to complete. The intake manifold will need to be replaced if it cannot be calibrated. Although I have completed many of these modifications and have not yet needed to replace an intake manifold, I figured I should still let you know in case your car is among the 1% that will malfunction. The important question is whether the check engine light is on or has ever been illuminated while a P200A code has been stored.

Describe a VCM motor.
An electric motor known as a voice coil motor (VCM) or voice coil actuator (VCA) is made up of a coil, a magnet, and a yoke.
The location of the magnet, the type of magnet, the surrounding structure, etc., can all affect how effective the device is.
Some examples of applications of VCM
When used as the vibration source in a variety of industrial shaking applications, voice coil actuators (VCAs) offer cutting-edge solutions.
For cell phone camera applications, a closed-loop feedback signal produced by a Hall element was employed to accurately position the lens using a voice coil motor (VCM) actuator.
Advantages of VCM
The most basic kind of electric motors are linear DC motors, voice coil motors (VCM), or voice coil actuators (VCA). The magnetic housing and the coil are the two independent components that make up these motors.
A voltage applied across the motor’s terminals causes it to rotate in one direction. The motor will turn in the opposite direction if the applied voltage’s polarity is reversed. The amount of current flowing through the motor coil determines how much force is produced. In the motor’s defined stroke range, this force is virtually constant.
Voice coil motors don’t use commutation and are brushless. High positioning resolutions given by external position sensors and motion controllers are supported by their structural stability.
What exactly is vCMA?
A virtual appliance called VMware vCenter Mobile Access (VMware vCMA) is used by administrators to control a data center from a mobile device like a smartphone or tablet.
Administrators may manage, monitor, or debug their VMware systems from anywhere in the world thanks to vCMA, which is a necessary backend for the vSphere Client for iPad. Although the vCMA is an unsupported fling, there is a community forum for it and the iPad version of the vSphere Client. Users are able to post queries and get unofficial assistance from VMware staff members and other users.
The most recent version of vCMA is available for users to download from the VMware Labs website. Both a zipped file with the virtual machine (VM) already deployed and an Open Virtualization Format (OVF) file that can be loaded into vCenter Server are options.
Should I turn off VCM?
Disabling VCM should lower your car’s oil usage if the cylinder rings are not entirely worn out. The sooner you apply VCMTUNER to your car if high oil consumption is a recent issue, the less wear and damage your engine will sustain.
What’s the process of cylinder deactivation?
The force of a gas-air mixture combusting in an engine’s cylinders causes pistons to rise and fall, turning a central crankshaft. The force generated by the crankshaft’s rotation ultimately turns the wheels.
The mechanism closes the exhaust valves, which expel spent gases, and the intake valves, which suck in air when a cylinder deactivates. Additionally, fuel injection into the cylinder is stopped. The piston still goes up and downit must because it is connected to the rotating crankshaftbut it is now merely a passenger.
Not just half of the cylinders receiving gasoline accounts for the increased efficiency. Your engine isn’t performing at its best when you’re not putting a lot of strain on it, like when you’re traveling at a constant speed. Pumping loss is the amount of energy lost when the pistons pull in and push out air.
