and restore control to the Short Term FT . The Short Term FT and the Long Term FT
can be monitored with a scan tool. A positive fuel trim value indicates that the ECM
is adding fuel in order to compensate for a lean condition. A negative fuel trim value
indicates that the ECM is reducing the amount of fuel in order to compensate for a
rich condition.
