<H5>Circuit Description</A></H5>
The powertrain control module (PCM) controls the air/fuel metering system in
order to provide the best possible combination of driveability, fuel economy, and
emission control. Fuel delivery is controlled differently during Open and Closed Loop.
During Open Loop, the PCM determines fuel delivery based on sensor signals without
oxygen sensor (O2S) input. During Closed Loop, the O2S inputs are added and used by
the PCM to calculate short and long term fuel trim fuel delivery adjustments. If the
O2S indicate a lean condition, fuel trim values will be above 0percent. If
the O2S indicate a rich condition, fuel trim values will be below 0percent.
Short term fuel trim values change rapidly in response to the heated oxygen sensor
(HO2S) voltage signals. Long term fuel trim makes coarse adjustments in order to maintain
an air/fuel ratio of 14.7:1. If the PCM detects an excessively lean condition, DTC
P0171 or P0174 sets.</P>

<LI>The control module illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp
(MIL) on the second consecutive ignition cycle that the diagnostic runs and
fails.
</LI>
<LI>The control module records the operating conditions at the time
the diagnostic fails. The first time the diagnostic fails, the control module
stores this information in the Failure Records. If the diagnostic reports
a failure on the second consecutive ignition cycle, the control module
records the operating conditions at the time of the failure. The control
module writes the operating conditions to the Freeze Frame and updates
the Failure Records.
