Deceleration Mode

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 GMC Sierra and 2007 Chevrolet Silverado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

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.
