Deceleration Mode
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
When the driver releases the accelerator pedal, air flow into the engine is reduced. The PCM monitors the corresponding changes in the TP, the MAP, and the MAF. The PCM shuts OFF fuel completely if the deceleration is very rapid, or for long periods, such as long, closed-throttle coast-down. The fuel shuts OFF in order to prevent damage to the catalytic converters.
