Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Information
Diagnostic trouble code (DTC) information ECM-640F
Condition
The engine control module (ECM) checks that the camshaft is in the correct position in relation to the position of the crankshaft. If the camshaft position is incorrect, the control module will adjust the adaptation for the camshaft position. The diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is stored if the adaptation is too great.
The diagnosis is active when the engine is on and is warm.
