Intermittent Simulation
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Jeep Wrangler, 2003 Jeep Liberty, and 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
To reproduce the conditions creating an intermittent fault, use the following methods:
- Lightly vibrate component.
- Heat component.
- Wiggle or bend wiring harness.
- Spray component with water.
- Remove/apply vacuum source.
Monitor circuit/component voltage or resistance while simulating intermittent conditions. If engine is running, monitor for DTCs. Use test results to identify a faulty component or circuit.
