LIMP-IN MODE
A condition where the vehicle's on-board computer has detected a faulty or failed input device (switch, sensor, etc) and has substituted a known value for the failed input. When this condition occurs, driveability is greatly affected; but will allow the operator to get the vehicle to a service facility.
LINEAR
A mathematically expressed relationship, the graphical representation of which is a straight line.
LOAD

LOCK UP TORQUE CONVERTER
Converter with internal mechanism that locks turbine to impeller when engaged.
LOCK-UP TORQUE CONVERTER SOLENOID
A transaxle-mounted solenoid, operating under control of the vehicle's on-board computer, which engages the torque converter to directly connect the engine to the transaxle.
LOGIC MODULE
A microprocessor (located in the vehicle's on board computer) which receives inputs from the vehicle's engine control system sensors, and generates the output signals to control engine operation an an optimum balance between engine performance, vehicle emissions and fuel economy.
LOGIC PROBE
A device used to verify operation of a logic (on/off) circuit.
Long Term Fuel Trim
A program in the vehicle's computer designed to add or subtract fuel from the vehicle to compensate for operating conditions that vary from the ideal A/F ratio (long term).
