INTERMITTENTS
INTERMITTENT PROBLEM DIAGNOSIS
Intermittent fault testing requires duplicating circuit or
component failure to identify problem. These procedures may lead to
computer setting a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) which may help in
diagnosis.
If problem vehicle does not produce DTCs, monitor voltage or
resistance values using a DVOM while attempting to reproduce
conditions causing intermittent fault. A status change on DVOM
