Long Term FT
Scan Tool Range
-23% to
16%. Long Term Fuel Trim is derived from the Short Term Fuel Trim value and represents a long-term correction of fuel delivery. A value of
0% indicates that fuel delivery requires no compensation to maintain the
PCM commanded air/fuel ratio. A negative value significantly below
0% indicates that the fuel system is rich and fuel delivery is being reduced (decreased injector pulse width). A positive value significantly greater than
0% indicates that a lean condition exists and the PCM is compensating by adding fuel (increased injector pulse width). Because Long Term Fuel Trim tends to follow Short Term Fuel Trim; a value in the negative range due to canister purge at idle should not be considered unusual. The PCMs maximum authority to control long term fuel trim allows a range between
-23% and
+16%. Fuel trim values at maximum authority may indicate an excessively rich or lean system.
