Intermittent Simulation
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1993 Volkswagen Passat, 1993 Volkswagen Fox, 1993 Volkswagen EuroVan, 1993 Volkswagen Corrado, and 1993 Volkswagen Cabriolet. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
To reproduce the conditions creating an intermittent fault, use the following methods:
- Lightly vibrate component.
- Heat component.
- Wiggle or bend wiring harness.
- Spray component with water.
- Remove/apply vacuum source.
Monitor circuit/component voltage or resistance while simulating intermittent. If engine is running, monitor for self-diagnostic codes. Use the test results to identify a faulty component or circuit. For system or component testing refer to the appropriate I - SYS/COMP TESTS article in this section. See the menu below:
- For Cabriolet, see: SYSTEM/COMPONENT TESTS
- For Corrado SLC, see: SYSTEM/COMPONENT TESTS
- For EuroVan, see: SYSTEM/COMPONENT TESTS
- For Fox, see: SYSTEM/COMPONENT TESTS
- For Passat GL 2.0L 4-Cylinder, see: SYSTEM/COMPONENT TESTS - 4-CYL
