Intermittant Codes or Code Set But Problem Not Present

If the malfunction is not present while performing a test procedure, the diagnostic procedures will not locate the problem.
- In this case, the stored code can only suggest an area to inspect.

If the following codes are being set intermittently, the ASDM should be replaced:
- Safing Sensor Open
- Safing Sensor Short
- Diagnostic Module Type #2, #3 or #4
- Passenger Low Stored Energy
- Driver Low Stored Energy
- Internal Diag #1

If any other intermittent codes are stored, check for the following:
- Loose or corroded connections
- Damaged components
- Damaged wiring

If no obvious problems are found, erase stored codes, and with the key ON, wiggle the wire harness and connectors.
- Recheck for codes periodically as you work through the system.
- This procedure may uncover a difficult to locate malfunction.
