FUEL INJECTION, FLEX FUEL AND GAS > OPERATION > MODES OF
OPERATION
As input signals to the PCM change, the PCM adjusts its response to output devices. For example,
the PCM must calculate a different injector pulse width and ignition timing for idle than it does for
Wide Open Throttle (WOT). There are several different modes of operation that determine how the
PCM responds to the various input signals.
The multi-port fuel injection systems has the following modes of operation:
Within these modes of operation, there are two different types of operation, OPEN LOOP and
CLOSED LOOP.
During OPEN LOOP operation the PCM receives input signals and responds according to preset
PCM programming. Inputs from the upstream and downstream heated oxygen sensors are not
monitored during OPEN LOOP operation, except for heated oxygen sensor diagnostics (they are
checked for shorted conditions at all times).
During CLOSED LOOP operation the PCM monitors the inputs from the upstream and downstream
heated oxygen sensors. The upstream heated oxygen sensor input tells the PCM if the calculated
injector pulse width resulted in the ideal air-fuel ratio of 14.7 to one. By monitoring the exhaust
oxygen content through the upstream heated oxygen sensor, the PCM can fine tune injector pulse
width. Fine tuning injector pulse width allows the PCM to achieve optimum fuel economy combined
with low emissions.
For the PCM to enter CLOSED LOOP operation, the following must occur:
2. O2 sensor must read either greater than 0.745 volts or less than 0.29 volt.
OPEN LOOP operation is used for engine start-up (crank), engine warm-up, deceleration with fuel
shutoff and wide open throttle. Under most conditions, acceleration, deceleration (with A/C on), idle
and cruise modes, with the engine at operating temperature occur in CLOSED LOOP operation.
FUEL INJECTION, FLEX FUEL AND GAS > OPERATION > MODES OF
OPERATION > ACCELERATION MODE
This is a CLOSED LOOP mode. The PCM recognizes an abrupt increase in Throttle Position
sensor output voltage or MAP sensor output voltage as a demand for increased engine output and
vehicle acceleration. The PCM increases injector pulse width in response to increased fuel
demand.
