Inspect the vehicle's ecm using check mode. Intermittent problems are easier to detect with the intelligent tester when the ecm is in check mode.

Clear the dtcs (see page es-35).
Switch the ecm from normal mode to check mode using the intelligent tester (see page es-38).
Perform a simulation test.
Check and wiggle the harness(es), connector(s) and terminal(s).
