Intermittents and Poor Connections

INTERMITTENTS AND POOR CONNECTIONS
As with most electronic systems, intermittent malfunctions may be difficult to diagnose accurately. The following is a method to try to isolate an intermittent malfunction.
If an ICS malfunction occurs, the ICS indicator will illuminate during the ignition cycle in which the malfunction was detected. If it is an intermittent problem, which seems to have corrected itself (ICS indicator off), a history DTC will be stored. Also stored will be the history data of the DTC at the time the malfunction occurred. Use the scan tool modular diagnostic system to read ICS history data.
Most intermittents are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring, although a solenoid can occasionally be at fault.
