Recommended Procedure:

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2006 Ford RV Cutaway, 2006 Ford Pickup, 2006 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2006 Ford F450 Super Duty, and 2006 Ford Econoline. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Connect the diagnostic tool.
Key on, engine off.
Access and monitor the FICMSYNC PID while cranking the engine.

No FICM synchronization while cranking the engine with the ICP, RPM and VPWR signals correct usually indicates a loss of the CMP or CKP synchronization signal. Refer to the appropriate pinpoint test for diagnosis. Refer to CONTROL SYSTEM DIAGNOSTIC SHEET REFERENCE for normal operating values.
