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

Lightly vibrate component.
Heat component.
Wiggle or bend wiring harness.
Spray component with water using spray bottle.
Remove/apply vacuum source.
Monitor circuit/component voltage or resistance while simulating intermittent. If engine is running, monitor for self-diagnostic codes. Use test results to identify a faulty component or circuit.
