Intermittent Failures
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2000 Honda Prelude, 2000 Honda Civic, and 2000 Honda CR-V. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
An intermittent failure means that a system may have had a malfunction, but is okay now. Intermittent failures may cause Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) to flicker or illuminate and go out after intermittent fault goes away. Corresponding DTC will be retained in Powertrain Control Module (PCM) memory. Intermittent failures may be caused by sensor, connector or wiring-related problems. See INTERMITTENTS in TROUBLE SHOOTING - NO CODES article.
