Intermittent Simulation
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1997 Volkswagen Passat. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
To reproduce conditions creating intermittent fault, use 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 DTCs. Use test results to identify a faulty component or circuit.
