Intermittent Simulation
To reproduce the conditions creating an intermittent fault, use the following methods:
- Lightly vibrate component
- Heat component
- Wiggle or bend wiring harness
- Spray component with water
- 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.
