2. Fuel System Monitor
This Monitor uses a Fuel System Correction program, called  Fuel Trim, inside 
the on-board computer. Fuel Trim is  a  set  of  positive and  negative  values  that 
represent adding or subtracting fuel from the engine. This program is used 
to correct for a lean (too much air/not enough fuel) or rich (too much fuel/not 
enough air) air-fuel mixture. The program is  designed  to add or subtract fuel, 
as needed, up  to a certain  percent.  If the correction  needed  is too large  and 
exceeds the time and percent allowed by the program, a fault is indicated by the 
computer.
The Fuel  System Monitor  is supported  by both  “spark  ignition”  vehicles  and 
“compression ignition” vehicles. The Fuel System Monitor may be a “One-Trip” 
or “Two-Trip” Monitor, depending on the severity of the problem.
3. Comprehensive Components Monitor (CCM) 
This Monitor continuously checks all inputs and outputs from sensors, actuators, 
switches and other devices that provide a signal to the computer. The Monitor 
checks for shorts, opens, out of range value, functionality and “rationality* (
See 
Note
).”
Rationality: Each  input  signal is  compared  against all other  inputs and 
against information in the computer’s memory to see if it makes sense under 
the current operating conditions. 
Example: The signal from the throttle position sensor indicates the vehicle is 
in a wide-open throttle condition, but the vehicle is really at idle, and the idle 
condition is confirmed  by  the signals from all  other  sensors. Based on the 
input data, the computer determines that the signal from the throttle position 
sensor is not rational (does not make sense when compared to the other 
inputs). In this case, the signal would fail the rationality test.
The  CCM  is  supported  by  both “spark  ignition”  vehicles  and “compression 
ignition” vehicles. The CCM may be either a “One-Trip” or a “Two-Trip” Monitor, 
depending on the component.
2.6.2 Non-Continuous Monitors
“Non-continuous” Monitors perform and complete their testing once per trip. The 
“non-continuous” Monitors are:

 Sensor Monitor
The Oxygen Sensor monitors how much  oxygen  is  in the vehicle’s exhaust.  It 
generates a varying voltage of up to one volt, based on how much oxygen is in 
the exhaust gas, and sends the signal to the computer. The computer uses this
