Camshaft Position Failure Mode Effects Management (FMEM)
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 31 other vehicles, including the 2018 Lincoln Navigator, 2018 Lincoln MKZ, 2018 Lincoln MKX, 2018 Lincoln MKT, and 2018 Lincoln MKC. 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.
