Intermittent Failures
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 68 other vehicles, including the 1999 Saturn SW2, 1999 Saturn SW1, 1999 Saturn SL2, 1999 Saturn SL1, and 1999 Saturn SL. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Intermittent failures cause MIL to flicker or glow and turn off about 10 seconds after intermittent fault goes away. Corresponding DTC, however, will be retained in PCM memory. If related fault does not reoccur within 50 engine starts, DTC will be erased from PCM memory. Intermittent failures may be caused by sensor, connector or wiring related problems. See INTERMITTENTS in appropriate TROUBLE SHOOTING - NO CODES article.
