Note on Intermittents

If an intermittent Code 38 is being set, manipulate related wiring while observing engine data parameter .0.5. If the failure is induced, the "MAT" reading will drop from its normal value to the "open" reading of -40° to -35°C. This will help to isolate the location of the malfunction.
