Intermittent Simulation Tests
Consider the following conditions to recreate an intermittent malfunction:
- Drive vehicle on rough road or with engine vibrating at idle (with A/C on).
- Incident occurs on only extremely hot or cold days.
- Water may intrude into connectors and cause corrosion between connector terminals.
- Operate multiple accessories (P/W, P/L, A/C, wipers, lights, etc.).
- Start vehicle either hot or cold.
- Wiring harnesses may be checked by gently wiggling wire harness during testing. Relays and sensors may be checked by gently tapping during testing.
