Toyota Sienna Service Manual: Check for intermittent problems
1. CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS
HINT: For use of the intelligent tester only: Inspect the vehicle's ECM using check mode.
Intermittent problems are easier to detect with an intelligent tester 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.
- Clear the DTCs.
- Switch the ECM from normal mode to check mode using an intelligent tester.
- Perform a simulation test.
- Check and wiggle the harness(es), connector(s) and terminal(s)
