The corrected CO is always printed (with CO
percentage value has to be taken into consideration only when the corrected
CO value turns out to be different from the CO value.
The corrected CO indicates the value of the CO which is emitted by the
engine even when the vehicle exhaust system is not tight.
As a matter of fact the gas values are diluted by the air suction hence they
are not reliable.
The lambda coefficient is always calculated with the CO value.
The corrected CO value is to be taken into consideration only when the
values of measured gases have stabilised.
