Intermittent Simulation

Use the following methods to produce conditions for creating an intermittent fault during testing:

• Apply light vibration to components.
• Heat a component.
• Wiggle or bend a wiring harness.
• Apply moisture to a component.
• Remove or apply a vacuum supply source.

While attempting to simulate an intermittent, observe component voltage and/or self-diagnostic codes. Use these test results to identify a faulty component or potential problem area.
