Run Mode

The Run Mode has 2 conditions: Open Loop operation and Closed Loop operation. When the engine is first started and the engine speed is more than a predetermined value, the system goes into Open Loop operation. In Open Loop operation, the engine control module (ECM) ignores the signals from the oxygen sensors and calculates the required injector pulse width based primarily on inputs from the manifold absolute pressure (MAP), intake air temperature (IAT) and engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensors.

In Closed Loop, the ECM adjusts the calculated injector pulse width for each bank of injectors based on the signals from each oxygen sensor.
