Intermittent Simulation
To reproduce the conditions creating an intermittent fault, use the following methods:
- Lightly tap on component.
- Heat component using a heat gun.
- Wiggle or bend wiring harness.
- Spray component with water.
- Remove/apply vacuum source.
Monitor circuit/component voltage or resistance while simulating intermittent. Use test results to identify a faulty component or circuit. If no faults are found, go to CIRCUIT TEST Z in the TESTS W/CODES article.
