Intermittent Simulation
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1995 Cadillac Seville and 1995 Cadillac DeVille. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
To reproduce the conditions causing 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 diagnostic trouble codes. Use test results to identify a faulty component or circuit.
