Cold Start Variable Cam Timing (VCT) Monitor
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 32 other vehicles, including the 2019 Lincoln Navigator, 2019 Lincoln Nautilus, 2019 Lincoln MKZ, 2019 Lincoln MKT, and 2019 Lincoln MKC. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
If the VCT cam phasing is used during a cold start to improve catalyst heating, the VCT system checks the functionality by monitoring the closed loop cam position error correction. If the correct cam position cannot be maintained and the system has an advance or retard error greater than the malfunction threshold, a cold start emission reduction VCT control malfunction is indicated.
