SYMPTOM SIMULATION
”Intermittent troubles or problems” are the malfunctions about which the customer has a complaint, but which
do not occur and can not be confirmed in the workshop. The intermittent problems also include complaints about
the ”CHECK” engine warning light going on and off erratically.
The self–diagnostic system stores the circuit of the intermittent problem in memory even if the ignition switch
is turned off.
And, for accurate diagnosis of the problems, ask the customer to obtain information as much as possible follow-
ing the customer problem analysis check sheet (See page
), and try to reproduce the intermittent problem.
The problem simulation methods described below are the effective ways for this nature of problem to produce
the problem conditions by applying vibration, heat, and humidity.
1
VIBRATION METHOD:
When vibration seems to be the major
cause.
CONNECTORS
Slightly shake the connector vertically and horizontally.
(Inspection of connectors)
(a) Is it loosely connected?
(b) Does the wire harness connecting with its
corresponding part have insufficient slack?
(c) Are the terminals dirty?
(d) Are the terminals making loose contact due to
terminals spread?
