Data Parameters Engine Parameters
RIGHT O2S (LAMBDA) CONTROL FAULT
Range: __________________________________________________________ YES/NO
Used on ME10 systems. This parameter indicates whether or not the ECU has recognized a
failure on the left oxygen sensor (O2S), or Lambda control, circuit. The ECU prevents closed
loop operation if an O2S fault is detected. The display reads NO during normal operation, a
reading of YES indicates a fault is present.
RIGHT O2S (LAMBDA) CONTROL W/O O2S2
Range: _______________________________________________________ –25 to +25%
Used on ME10 systems without a downstream O2S. This parameter represents the short-term
fuel metering correction based on the signal of the upstream O2S on the right cylinder bank.
Zero is the base setting, no correction. Positive readings indicate the ECU is correcting for a lean
condition by increasing injector on time, while negative readings indicate the ECU is correcting
for a rich condition by reducing injector on time.
RIGHT WOT (FULL LOAD)/DECEL.SHUT-OFF
Range: __________________________________________________________ YES/NO
Used on ME10 systems. This parameter indicates if the ECU has shut off fuel delivery to the right
cylinder bank to reduce emissions during deceleration. The display should read YES on
deceleration following wide-open throttle (WOT), full load operation, and NO at all other times.
RON CORRECTION
Range: __________________________________________________________ variable
Used on HFM systems. This parameter indicates the ECU ignition timing adjustment for different
octane fuels. The research octane number (RON) represents the anti-knock quality of fuel. The
higher the RON, the greater the resistance to knocking. Depending on the system, ignition timing
may retard 4 to 6 degrees to compensate for the fuel being used.
RON INDEX
Range: __________________________________________________________ ON/OFF
Used on HFM systems. This is the value of the reference resistor used for determining the
internal fuel injection and ignition maps of the ECU. The research octane number (RON) is the
anti-knock quality of fuel at lower speeds. Motor Octane Number (MON) is the anti-knock quality
of fuel at higher speeds. U.S. government legislation simplified the issue requiring pumps to post
the minimum octane number determined by “Cost of Living Council” (CLC). The CLC number is
derived from both RON and MON. On this system the higher the RON, the greater the resistance
to knocking. Depending on the reference resistor, ignition timing may be retarded 4 to 6 degrees.
SAFETY CONTACT
SAFETY FUEL SHUT-OFF
Range: __________________________________________________________ ON/OFF
Used on ERE/EVE/ASF (IFI Diesel)), HFM, LH, ME10, ME20, ME27, and ME28 systems. These
parameters indicate the state of the safety contacts in the electronic accelerator actuator. The
display normally reads OFF and ON when the safety contacts are closed. The ECU is connected
to safety switch contacts in the electronic accelerator actuator or the cruise control/idle speed
control actuator. During normal operation, the switch sends a positive signal to the ECU. If the
throttle opens more than the position specified by the accelerator pedal and the cruise control is
not engaged, the switch sends a ground signal to the ECU. In response, the ECU switches the
fuel injectors off. Injection switches back on when engine speed drops below 1200 RPM.
