Engine Reaches a Certain RPM.. then your ECU will check for the following
OIl pressure - Must be at least 55psi
Water Temp- must be at least 140 degrees F
Speed- Must be going 10 mph

And once that certain RPM Hits. The Vtec solenoid activates and Oil pressure pushes a Pin to Lock the Rocker Arms together and it activates the High Cam lobe.
