Check for Intermittent Problems

CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS

Hand held tester only:
Inspect the vehicle's ECM using check mode. Intermittent problems are easier to detect when the ECM is in check mode with the hand held tester. In check mode, the ECM uses 1 trip detection logic, which has a higher sensitivity to malfunctions than normal mode (default), which uses 2 trip detection logic.
a. Clear the DTCs
b. Set the check mode
c. Perform a simulation test
d. Check the connector and terminal
e. Wiggle the harness and the connector
