Check For Intermittent Problems [06/2020 - ]

HINT: 

Inspect the vehicle ECM using check mode. Intermittent problems are easier to detect with the GTS when the ECM is in check mode. In check mode, the ECM uses 1 trip detection logic, which is more sensitive to malfunctions than normal mode (default), which uses 2 trip detection logic.

  1. Clear the DTCs.

    Refer to DTC CHECK / CLEAR [06/2020 - 10/2022] , or refer to DTC CHECK / CLEAR [10/2022 - ] 

  2. Change the ECM from normal mode to check mode using the GTS.

    Refer to CHECK MODE PROCEDURE [06/2020 - ] 

  3. Perform a simulation test.

    Refer to HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING [06/2020 - ]

  4. Check and wiggle the harness(es), connector(s) and terminal(s).

    Refer to ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT INSPECTION PROCEDURE [06/2020 - ]
