When the engine is first started the system is in "Open Loop" operation.
In "Open Loop", the ECM ignores the signal from the oxygen sensors.
When various conditions (ECT, time from start, engine speed & oxygen sensor
output) are met, the system enters "Closed Loop" operation.
In "Closed Loop", the ECM calculates the air fuel ratio based on the signal from the
oxygen sensors.

This displays the exhaust oxygen sensor output voltage.
Should fluctuate constantly within a range between 10mV (lean exhaust) and
1000mV (rich exhaust) while operating in closed loop.
15 B1 O2 Sensor

Yes/No Yes Yes
16 B2 O2 Sensor
Ready (Bank 2)
Yes/No Yes Yes
This displays the status of the exhaust oxygen sensor.
This display will indicate "Yes" when the ECM detects a fluctuating oxygen sensor
output voltage sufficient to allow closed loop operation.
This will not occur unless the oxygen sensor is warmed up.

Fuel Trim (Bank
1)
% -10 20 -10 20
18 B2 Long Term
Fuel Trim (Bank
2)
% -10 20 -10 20
The long term fuel trim is delivered from the short term fuel term values and
represents a long term correction of fuel delivery for bank in question.
A value of 0% indicates that fuel delivery requires no compensation to maintain the
ECM commanded air fuel ratio.
A negative value indicates that the fuel system is rich and fuel delivery is being
reduced (decreased injector pulse width).
A positive value indicates that a lean condition exists and the ECM is compensating
by add fuel (increased injector pulse width).
Because long term fuel trim tends to follow short term fuel trim, a value in the
negative range due to canister purge at idle should not be considered unusual.
Excessive long term fuel trim values may indicate an rich or lean condition.

6E-146 3.5L ENGINE DRIVEABILITY AND EMISSIONS
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The mass air flow (MAF) sensor measures the amount
of air which passes through it into the engine during a
given time. The Engine Control Module (ECM) uses the
mass air flow information to monitor engine operating
conditions for fuel delivery calculations. A large quantity
of air entering the engine indicates an acceleration o
r
high load situation, while a small quantity or air indicates
deceleration or idle.
The MAF sensor produces a frequency signal which
can be monitored using a Tech 2. The frequency will
vary within a range of around 4 to 7 g/s at idle to around
25 to 40 g/s at maximum engine load. DTC P0101 will
be set if the signal from the MAF sensor does not match
a predicted value based on throttle position and engine
RPM.
DIAGNOSTIC AIDS
An intermittent may be caused by the following:
Poor connections.
Mis-routed harness.
Rubbed through wire insulation.
Broken wire inside the insulation.
Refer to Intermittents under service category
Symptoms.
Any un-metered air may cause this DTC to set. Check
for the following:
The duct work at the MAF sensor for leaks.
An engine vacuum leak.
The PCV system for vacuum leaks.
An incorrect PCV valve.
The engine oil dip stick not fully seated.
The engine oil fill cap loose or missing.
