Check for Intermittent Problems

3UR-FE ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM: SFI SYSTEM: CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS

CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS

HINT: Inspect the vehicle's ECM using check mode. Intermittent problems are easier to detect with the Techstream 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 (DTC Check / Clear).
2 Switch the ECM from normal mode to check mode using the Techstream (Check Mode Procedure).
3 Perform a simulation test.
4 Check and wiggle the harness(es), connector(s) and terminal(s).
