Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Additive adaptation
If closed loop continuously corrects a deviation in the fuel system, it will be adapted. Adaptation occurs every 5 minutes and takes 30 seconds. The additive adaptation, which is 0.000 mg fuel/combustion when the control module is new or has been disconnected, is always added to the fuel quantity. The additive adaptation takes place at idling speed. Purging is stopped during adaptation because other factors that can affect the fuel must not be active.
