Fuel Shut-Off Mode
The engine control module (ECM) has the ability to completely turn OFF all of the injectors or selectively turn OFF some of the injectors when certain conditions are met. These fuel shut-off modes allow the ECM to protect the engine from damage and also to improve the vehicles driveability.
The ECM will disable all of the 6 injectors under the following conditions:
- Ignition OFF - Prevents engine run-on
- Ignition ON but no ignition reference signal-Prevents flooding or backfiring
- A high engine speed - Above the red line
- A high vehicle speed - Above the rated tire speed
- The extended high speed closed throttle coastdown - Reduces the emissions and increases engine braking
The ECM will selectively disable the injectors under the following conditions:
- The torque management enabled - Transmission shifts or abusive maneuvers
- The traction control enabled - In conjunction with the front brakes applying
