Continuous Memory Self-Test: Description

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 26 other vehicles, including the 1999 Mercury Tracer, 1999 Mercury Sable, 1999 Mercury Mystique, 1999 Mercury Mountaineer, and 1999 Mercury Grand Marquis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Continuous memory self-test is a functional test of PCM performed under any condition (engine running or off) with ignition on. Unlike KOEO and KOER self-tests which can only be activated on demand, continuous monitor is always active in monitoring the system. When a fault is detected, DTC will be stored in memory. This makes it possible to diagnose intermittent faults.

There are 2 types of Continuous Memory DTCs. Emission related type DTCs will turn on the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) on instrument cluster. Non-emission type DTCs will never turn on MIL.
