What Causes High Short-Term Fuel Trim Values?
1 Answers
High short-term fuel trim values indicate a lean air-fuel mixture. Here is expanded information about short-term fuel trim: 1. Introduction: Short-term fuel trim is real-time correction control of fuel injection quantity based on oxygen sensor feedback regarding the air-fuel mixture richness/leanness in previous working cycles. 2. Air-Fuel Mixture: When the mixture is too rich, the oxygen sensor output voltage increases, short-term fuel trim decreases (meaning the fuel injection pulse width will shorten), and the value displayed on the diagnostic tool will be less than 1. Conversely, when the mixture is too lean, short-term fuel trim increases, and the value read from the diagnostic tool will be greater than 1.
