Intermittent Simulation

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

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

Lightly vibrate component.
Heat component to normal operating temperature.
Wiggle or bend wiring harness.
Spray component with a water mist.
Remove/apply vacuum source. Monitor circuit/component voltage or resistance while simulating intermittent. If engine is running, monitor for self-diagnostic codes. See appropriate SELF-DIAGNOSTICS article. Use test results to identify a faulty component or circuit.
