Check For Intermittent Problems [12/2019 - 10/2022]

HINT: 

Inspect the vehicle ECM using check mode. Intermittent problems are easier to detect with the GTS 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 the DTCs.

    Refer to DTC CHECK / CLEAR [12/2019 - 10/2022] 

  2. Switch the ECM from normal mode to check mode using the GTS.

    Refer to CHECK MODE PROCEDURE [12/2019 - 10/2022] 

  3. Perform a simulation test.

    Refer to HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING [12/2019 - ]

  4. Check and wiggle the harness(es), connector(s) and terminal(s).

    Refer to ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT INSPECTION PROCEDURE [12/2019 - ]
