CLOSED-ONE 02S:
Closed loop, but fault with at least one oxygen sensor-may be using single oxygen sensor for fuel control
CALC LOAD (CALCULATED LOAD VALUE, %)
Engine load displayed as a percentage of maximum possible load. Value is calculated mathematically using the formula: actual (current) intake air volume divided maximum possible intake air volume x 100%.
TOTAL FUEL TRIM (%)
The value of total fuel trim is calculated by using values of short term fuel trim and long term fuel trim. This value indicates how much correction is necessary to keep the air/fuel mixture stoichiometrical.

FUEL TANK LEVEL (%)
This parameter indicates approximate fuel level in the fuel tank. As the detectable range of the fuel level sensor is set as 0 to 100%, however, with some models whose fuel tank capacity is smaller, the indicated fuel level may be only 70% even when the fuel tank is full.
