Long Term FT-2

The scan tool displays counts. The PCM derives the Long Term Fuel Trim (FT) from the Short Term FT value. The Long Term FT represents a long-term correction of fuel delivery A value of 0 percent indicates that fuel delivery requires no compensation in order to maintain the PCM commanded air/fuel ratio. A value significantly below 128 indicates that the fuel system is rich and the PCM is reducing fuel delivery (decreased injector pulse width). A value significantly greater than 128 indicates that a lean condition exists and the PCM compensates by adding fuel (increased injector pulse width). Fuel trim values at maximum authority may indicate an excessively rich or lean system.
