Intermittent Simulation
To reproduce the conditions creating an intermittent fault, use the following methods:
- Lightly vibrate component. See VIBRATION METHOD .
- Heat component. See HEATING METHOD .
- Wiggle or bend wiring harness. See VIBRATION METHOD .
- Spray component with water. See WATER APPLICATION METHOD .
Monitor circuit/component voltage or resistance while simulating intermittent. If engine is running, monitor for diagnostic trouble codes. Use test results to identify a faulty component or circuit.
