Continuous Monitor (Wiggle) Test - Systematic Use
- Visually inspect sensor, switch or solenoid affected. Enter CONTINUOUS SELF-TEST and lightly tap sensor, switch or solenoid.
- Push/pull on sensor, switch or solenoid connector while not disconnecting. Test and wiggle (shake) harness vigorously, working from sensor, switch or solenoid toward dash panel and from the dash panel to ECA in small sections.
- If volt/ohmmeter does not have a positive indication of an intermittent fault, carefully disconnect sensor, switch or solenoid from harness. Remove terminals from connector.
- Inspect terminals at both ends for corrosion, bad crimps and improperly seated terminals. Reconnect after inspection and unplug processor from harness.
- Inspect terminals for corrosion, bad crimps and improperly seated terminals. If volt/ohmmeter does not indicate an intermittent fault plug in connector and erase CONTINUOUS SELF-TEST codes. See CONTINUOUS SELF-TEST for clearing codes.
NOTE:
If there is trouble in more than 2 places, the fault indication will be for the lowest code number first. If after a malfunction has occurred, and the ignition is turned off, the malfunction indicator will not be displayed. The ECA has a built-in, fail-safe mechanism. If a malfunction occurs during driving, the ECA will operate on its own initiative as shown in the above chart and driving performance will be affected. If the problem is corrected during indication, ECA memory must be erased by disconnecting negative battery cable for 5 or more seconds.
NOTE:
If there is trouble in more than 2 places, the fault indication will be for the lowest code number first. Even if the problem is corrected during indication, 1 cycle will be indicated. If after a malfunction has occurred, and the ignition is turned off, the malfunction indicator will not be displayed. The ECA has a built-in, fail-safe mechanism. If a malfunction occurs during driving, the ECA will operate on its own initiative as shown in the above chart and driving performance will be affected.
