Intermittent Simulation

To reproduce the conditions creating an intermittent fault, use the following methods:

Lightly vibrate components.

Heat component.

Wiggle or bend wiring harness.

Spray component with water.

Remove/apply vacuum source.

Monitor circuit/component voltage or resistance while attempting to simulate intermittent. If engine is running, monitor for self-diagnostic codes. See G - EEC TESTS W/CODES article in the ENGINE PERFORMANCE Section. Use the results to identify a faulty component or circuit.

NOTE: For information on connecting test equipment, see G - EEC TESTS W/CODES article in the ENGINE PERFORMANCE Section.
