Deceleration Mode

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

When the driver releases the accelerator pedal, air flow into the engine is reduced. The PCM reads the corresponding changes in TP, MAP, and MAF. The PCM shuts OFF fuel completely if the deceleration is very rapid, or for long periods, such as long, closed-throttle coast-down. The fuel shuts OFF in order to protect the 3-way catalytic converters (TWC).
