Intermittent Simulation

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 9 other vehicles, including the 2002 Nissan Xterra, 2002 Nissan Sentra, 2002 Nissan Quest, 2002 Nissan Pathfinder, and 2002 Nissan Maxima. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

To reproduce conditions creating an intermittent fault, use following methods:

Gently vibrate component.
Heat component.
Freeze component.
Wiggle or bend wiring harness.
Spray component with water.
Turn on all electrical accessories.

Monitor circuit/component voltage or resistance while simulating intermittent. If engine is running, monitor for Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs.) Use test results to identify a faulty component or circuit.
