Note On Intermittents

If an intermittent Code B420 is being set. Manipulate related wiring in output function and watch for relays to cycle. Since this code only monitors the control (winding) side of relays, it is possible for the relay to fail and/or circuits on relay contacts, preventing RAP operation, without setting this code. The BCM cannot tell the difference between operating one or 2 relays.
