Check for Intermittent Problems

2007 Toyota Highlander 4WD L4-2.4L (2AZ-FE)SECTION Check for Intermittent Problems
CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS

Intelligent tester only:
Inspect the vehicle's ECM using check mode. Intermittent problems are easier to detect when the ECM is in check mode with the intelligent tester. In check mode, the ECM uses 1 trip detection logic, which has a higher sensitivity to malfunctions than normal mode (default), which uses 2 trip detection logic.

1. Clear the DTCs.
2. Set the check mode.
3. Perform a simulation test.
4. Check the connector and terminal.
5. Wiggle the harness and the connector.
