Computerized Emission Control (CEC) System: Operation: Initialization

The initialization function occurs when ignition switch is turned to "ON" position. This sets initial air bleed metering rod position by signaling the stepper motor to drive them first to a full rich position (fully toward front of vehicle) and then, by a preprogrammed number of steps, in lean direction (toward rear of vehicle). This serves as a starting point of mixture control operation.
