fuel trims

Fuels are  variations added by the ecu to allow for wear and tear in sensors and the engine itself ie valves pistons etc.
A  recent case with a vauxhall zafira illustrates this.Testing the 02 sensor off the car  found it to be  very sluggish.A new sensor was  put in  and the short term fuel  trims began to change  but the long term  stayed at 12.5  after dropping from 14,1 with the  short term fuel trims at zero.


Below the live data  before  the o2sensor  was fitted  notice open loop

After the new 02 sensor was fitted  note short term trim now giving data and closed loop.
Long term at 12,5 will drop as the ecu  adapts to the new o2 sensor
