Camshaft Position Failure Mode Effects Management (FMEM)
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 26 other vehicles, including the 2020 Lincoln Navigator, 2020 Lincoln Nautilus, 2020 Lincoln MKZ, 2020 Lincoln Corsair, and 2020 Lincoln Continental. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
During camshaft position FMEM the COP ignition works the same as during engine crank. This allows the engine to operate without the PCM knowing if cylinder 1 is under compression or exhaust.
