Deceleration Fuel Shut-Off (DFSO)

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Mercury Mariner and 2010 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

During a DFSO event the PCM disables the fuel injectors. A DFSO event occurs during closed-throttle, deceleration; similar to exiting a freeway. This strategy improves fuel economy and allows for increased rear heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) concern detection.
