PINPOINT TEST HK: Variable Camshaft Timing (VCT): Introduction

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 31 other vehicles, including the 2011 Mercury Milan, 2011 Mercury Mariner, 2011 Mercury Grand Marquis, 2011 Lincoln Town Car, and 2011 Lincoln Navigator L. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:

VCT solenoid (6L713) or (6B297)
spider assembly right bank (6C260) or left bank (6C261)
harness circuits: VPWR and VCT
powertrain control module (PCM) (12A650)
