2.5L TBI "C" Charts: Description
The Computer Command Control (CCC) system used on the 1985 General Motors vehicles monitors as many as 19 engine/vehicle functions. This system controls engine operation and lowers exhaust emissions while maintaining good fuel economy and driveability. The Electronic Control Module (ECM) is the "brain" of the CCC system. The ECM controls as many as 12 engine related systems constantly adjusting engine operation.
The CCC system is primarily an emission control system, designed to maintain a 14.7:1 air/fuel ratio under all operating conditions. When the ideal air/fuel ratio is maintained, the catalytic converter can control oxides of nitrogen (NOx), hydrocarbon (HC) and carbon monoxide (CO) emissions.
