Question
Why do technicians review long-term fuel trim values?
Answer
They indicate sustained mixture adjustments by the ECU.
Explain
Long-term fuel trim trends show how the ECU compensates for airflow changes, vacuum leaks, fuel delivery problems, or sensor misreadings. CHEPQ tools plot these values across driving conditions, enabling early detection of inefficiencies before they escalate into major performance issues or fault codes.
