Fuel Cut Off Mode

The PCM has the ability to shut OFF the fuel injectors completely or selectively when certain conditions are met. This fuel shut off mode allows the powertrain to protect itself from damage and also improve the driveability.

The PCM will disable the injectors under the following conditions:
^ Ignition OFF (prevents engine run-on)
^ Ignition ON but an ignition reference signal is not present (prevents flooding or backfiring)
^ High engine speed (above red line)
^ High vehicle speed (above rated tire speed)
