Troubleshooting Intermittant Codes

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.

If the following codes are being set intermittently, the air bag control module should be replaced:

- Internal Lamp Driver
- Low Stored Energy Passenger
- Low Stored Energy Driver
- AECM Accelerometer
- AECM Internal Diagnostic 1
- AECM Internal Diagnostic 2
- AECM Output Driver
- AECM Stored Energy

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 malfunction that is difficult to locate.
