Default Octane table question

How often does the computer check to see which table to use for proper octane? Just on start up or constant? Wondering for example it detects the low octane on start up and retards the timing etc, will it stay that way until the engine is restarted and it detects higher octane? Thanks

It chooses a table based on the amount of spark knock it sees, if you KR is intermittent it will have a low knock learn and stay in the HO table. Jeff

Doesn't it blend the two tables together when it sees knock and uses the learned value?

Good question, I don't believe so, I think when the knock learn reaches a certain threshold it shifts to the LO table, until the next fill up and then it switches back and starts over on the HO table. Jeff

It blends the two tables with respect to how much KR.
