Check For Intermittent Problems [01/2017 - ]

HINT: 

Inspect the vehicle ECM using check mode. Intermittent problems are easier to detect with the Techstream 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 [01/2017 - 05/2023] , or refer to DTC CHECK / CLEAR [05/2023 - ] 

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

    Refer to CHECK MODE PROCEDURE [01/2017 - ] 

  3. Perform a simulation test.

    Refer to HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING [01/2017 - 04/2020] , or refer to HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING [04/2020 - 05/2023] , or refer to HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING [05/2023 - ]

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

    Refer to ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT INSPECTION PROCEDURE [01/2017 - ]
