Open Loop Mode

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 15 other vehicles, including the 2003 Hummer H2, 2003 GMC Yukon XL, 2003 GMC Yukon, 2003 GMC Sierra, and 2003 GMC Savana. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

When engine is cold and engine speed is greater than 400 RPM, PCM operates in open loop mode. In open loop mode, PCM calculates air/fuel ratio based upon coolant temperature and MAP sensor readings. Engine remains in open loop mode until oxygen sensor reaches operating temperature, coolant temperature reaches a preset temperature and a specific period of time has elapsed after engine starts.
