Intermittent Simulation
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 TESTS W/CODES - 2.5L article. Use the results to identify a faulty component or circuit.
