Engine Speed Monitor Entry Conditions
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 28 other vehicles, including the 2014 Lincoln Navigator, 2014 Lincoln MKZ, 2014 Lincoln MKX, 2014 Lincoln MKT, and 2014 Lincoln MKS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Barometric pressure of 76.2 kPa (22.5 in-Hg) or greater
- Engine coolant temperature at start is between -17.8°C (35°F) and 37.8°C (100°F)
- Catalyst temperature at start is between -17.8°C (35°F) and 51.7°C (125°F)
- Fuel level is above 15%
- Injector cutout torque reduction is inactive
- Power take off (PTO) operation is disabled
Cold Start Spark Timing Monitor Operation:
Once the waiting period is complete, the monitor compares the average difference between desired and commanded spark to a calibrated threshold that is a function of the engine coolant temperature at start. If the difference exceeds the calibrated threshold, a DTC is set.
- DTC: P050B Cold start ignition timing performance
- Monitor execution: Once per driving cycle, during the first 15 seconds of a cold start
- Monitor sequence: None
- Monitoring duration: Data gathering occurs during the first 15 seconds of a cold start. The decision to set P050B is made 300 seconds after start. This delay gives time for other diagnostics (for example, misfire monitor) to determine if another DTC should set instead of P050B.
