Check For Intermittent Problems

HINT:

Inspect the vehicle's ECM using check mode. Intermittent problems are easier to detect with the Techstream when the ECM is in check mode. In check mode, the ECM uses 1 trip detection logic, which is more sensitive to malfunctions than normal mode (default), which uses 2 trip detection logic.

1. Clear DTCs (See DTC CHECK / CLEAR ).
2. Switch the ECM from normal mode to check mode using the Techstream (See CHECK MODE PROCEDURE ).
3. Perform a simulation test (See HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING ).
4. Check and wiggle the harness(es), connector(s) and terminal(s) (See ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT INSPECTION PROCEDURE ).
