A "closed loop" air/fuel metering system is utilized for driveability, fuel economy and emission control. While in closed loop, VCM monitors oxygen sensor signal voltage and adjusts fuel delivery based on signal voltage. A change in fuel delivery can be monitored using a scan tool and is indicated by Long Term (LT) and Short Term (ST) fuel trim values. Ideal fuel trim is about 128. If a lean condition is present, VCM will increase fuel, resulting in a fuel trim value greater than 128. If a rich condition is present, VCM will reduce fuel, resulting in a fuel trim value less than 128. DTC will set if an excessively lean condition is detected.
