LETTER "C" ACRONYMS/DEFINITIONS
| Acronym | Definition |
|---|---|
| CANP | CANister Purge solenoid or its control circuit |
| CSE GND | CaSE GrouND (eec-iv processor case) |

| CCS | Coast Clutch Solenoid or its control circuit |
| CES | Clutch Engage Switch |
| CFI | Central Fuel Injection: A computer controled fuel meteringsystem which sprays atomized fuel into a throttle body mounted atop the intake manifold |
| "CHECK ENGINE"/ "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" Light | A dash panel light used either to aid in the identification and diagnosis of EEC system problems or to indicate that maintenance is required on non-EEC equipped vehicles. |
| CID | Cylinder IDentification sensor or its signal circuit |
| CLC | Converter Lock-up Clutch |
| CLUTCH | CLUTCH engagement switch or its control circuit |
| COC | Conventional Oxidation Catalyst |
| Computed Timing | The total spark advance in degrees before top dead center.Calculated by the EEC-IV processor based on input from a number of sensors |
| CKT | "CirKuiT" |
| ContinuosSelf-Test | A continuous test of the EEC-IV system conducted whenever the vehicle is in operation |
