Intermittent Failures

Intermittent failures may cause Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) to flicker or illuminate and go out after intermittent failure goes away. However, the corresponding Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will be retained in Powertrain Control Module (PCM) memory. If related failure does not reoccur within 40 warm-up cycles, related DTC will be erased from PCM memory. Most intermittent failures are caused by a sensor, electrical connector or wiring related problems. See INTERMITTENTS in TROUBLE SHOOTING - NO CODES - GASOLINE article.
