Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) System: Overview
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.
The PCV system circulates crankcase gases through the intake air system into the engine where they are burned. The PCV system regulates the amount of ventilated air and blowby gases to the intake manifold.
The PCV systems comply with on board diagnostics (OBD) PCV monitoring requirements to prevent accidental disconnection from the valve cover. For more information about the PCV monitor, refer to POSITIVE CRANKCASE VENTILATION (PCV) SYSTEM MONITOR .
