Which of the following statements about fuel trim is not true?
a. A positive fuel trim value means that the PCM detects a lean mixture and is decreasing the pulse width to add more fuel to the mixture.
b. Short-term fuel trim represents changes made immediately in response to HO2S signals.
c. Long-term fuel trim represents changes made to set a new base pulse width.
d. Long-term fuel trim responds to the trends of the short-term fuel trim.
