Default Throttle position relation to VTEC

I know there are certain requirements that need to be met before vtec would kick in (rpm, oil pressure), but I always thought that you also had to be above a certain amount of throttle. If I were to accelerate very slowly like even less then 10% I would still hear the vtec switch over and my VAFC2 would turn red indicating vtec is on. Is there some setting on the VAFC2 that I might have made wrong for vtec to kick in even at that low of throttle. Or does it have nothing to do with throttle position?

when i was stock and went above 6k rpm with light throttle i would "hear" VtaK, but didn't "feel" it.

How can you do it with the vafc2? I've looked but didn't find anything.
