Check for Intermittent Problems
2TR-FE ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM: SFI SYSTEM: CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS
HINT
Techstream only:
Inspect the vehicle's ECM using check mode. Intermittent problems are easier to detect with the Techstream when the ECM is in check mode. In check mode, the ECM uses 1 trip detection logic, which is more sensitive to malfunctions than normal mode (default), which uses 2 trip detection logic.
1. Clear DTCs Reading and Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes.
2. Switch the ECM from normal mode to check mode using the Techstream Check Mode Procedure.
3. Perform a simulation test Electronic Circuit Inspection Procedure.
4. Check and wiggle the harness(es), connector(s) and terminal(s) Electronic Circuit Inspection Procedure.
