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 components.
Heat component.
Wiggle or bend wiring harness.
Spray component with water.
Remove/apply vacuum source.

Monitor circuit/component voltage or resistance while attempting to simulate intermittent. If engine is running, monitor for self-diagnostic codes. See the TESTS W/CODES - 2.5L article. Use the results to identify a faulty component or circuit.
