Control Svstem
To control air/fuel ratio feedback, the PCM uses
short term correction and long term memory. Before
the PCM can alter the programmed injector pulse
width, it must enter closed loop operation. The re-
quirements for closed loop operation are listed be-

For example:
If the PCM were in cell 3, the MAP voltage must
be between 1.38 and
2.OV
and engine rpm must
be greater than 2048. This is the cell that the control
system would update.
