Fuel Trim
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. The PCM monitors the HO2S signal
voltage while in Closed Loop and regulates the fuel delivery by adjusting the pulse width of the fuel injectors
based on this signal. The ideal fuel trim values are around 0 percent for both short term and long term fuel trim.
A positive fuel trim value indicates the PCM is adding fuel in order to compensate for a lean condition by
increasing the pulse width. A negative fuel trim value indicates that the PCM is reducing the amount of fuel in
order to compensate for a rich condition by decreasing the pulse width. A change made to the fuel delivery
changes the short term and long term fuel trim values. The short term fuel trim values change rapidly in
response to the HO2S signal voltage. These changes fine tune the engine fueling. The long term fuel trim makes
coarse adjustments to the fueling in order to re-center and restore control to short term fuel trim. A scan tool can
be used to monitor the short term and long term fuel trim values. The long term fuel trim diagnostic is based on
an average of several of the long term speed load learn cells. The PCM selects the cells based on the engine
speed and engine load. If the PCM detects an excessive lean or rich condition, the PCM will set a fuel trim
diagnostic trouble code (DTC).
EVAPORATIVE EMISSION (EVAP) CONTROL SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
EVAP System Operation
The evaporative emission (EVAP) control system limits fuel vapors from escaping into the atmosphere. Fuel
tank vapors are allowed to move from the fuel tank, due to pressure in the tank, through the vapor pipe, into the
EVAP canister. Carbon in the canister absorbs and stores the fuel vapors. Excess pressure is vented through the
vent line and EVAP vent solenoid valve to the atmosphere. The EVAP canister stores the fuel vapors until the
engine is able to use them. At an appropriate time, the control module will command the EVAP purge solenoid
valve ON, allowing engine vacuum to be applied to the EVAP canister. With the EVAP vent solenoid valve
OFF, fresh air is drawn through the vent solenoid valve and the vent line to the EVAP canister. Fresh air is
drawn through the canister, pulling fuel vapors from the carbon. The air/fuel vapor mixture continues through
the EVAP purge pipe and EVAP purge solenoid valve into the intake manifold to be consumed during normal
combustion. The control module uses several tests to determine if the EVAP system is leaking.
Large Leak Test
This tests for large leaks and blockages in the evaporative emission (EVAP) system. The control module
commands the EVAP vent solenoid valve ON and commands the EVAP purge solenoid valve ON, with the
engine running, allowing engine vacuum into the EVAP system. The control module monitors the fuel tank
pressure (FTP) sensor voltage to verify that the system is able to reach a predetermined level of vacuum within
a set amount of time. The control module then commands the EVAP purge solenoid valve OFF, sealing the
system, and monitors the vacuum level for decay. If the control module does not detect that the predetermined
