Loop Status

(Open Loop/Close Loop):
The loop status indicates when the VCM is controlling fuel delivery which is calculated using the HO2S bank 1 and 2 inputs. This is called Closed Loop fuel control. During Open Loop, the VCM ignores the HO2S input and bases fuel delivery upon Throttle Position (TP), engine coolant, and Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor input.
