Fuel Shut-Off Mode
ECM has the ability to completely turn OFF all of the injectors or selectively turn OFF some of the injectors when certain conditions are met. These fuel shut-off modes allow the ECM to protect the engine from damage and also to improve the vehicles driveability.
ECM will disable all of the 6 injectors under the following conditions:
- Ignition OFF. This prevents engine run-on.
- Ignition ON but no ignition reference signal. This prevents flooding or backfiring.
- A high engine speed, above redline.
- A high vehicle speed, above rated tire speed.
- The extended high speed closed throttle coast down - reduces the emissions and increases engine braking.
ECM will selectively disable the injectors under the following conditions:
- The torque management enabled, transmission shifts or abusive maneuvers.
- The traction control enabled, in conjunction with the front brakes applying.
