The initialization function occurs when ignition switch is turned to "ON" position. This sets initial air bleed metering rod position by signaling the stepper motor to drive them first to a full rich position (fully toward front of vehicle) and then, by a preprogrammed number of steps, in lean direction (toward rear of vehicle). This serves as a starting point of mixture control operation.
