Intermittent Simulation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1995 Toyota Land Cruiser. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

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

Lightly vibrate component. See VIBRATION METHOD .
Wiggle or bend wiring harness. See VIBRATION METHOD .

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.
