  1. Clear DTCs (See page Switch the ECM from normal mode to check mode using the Techstream (See ).
  2. Switch the ECM from normal mode to check mode using the Techstream (See page Perform a simulation test (See page ).
  3. Perform a simulation test (See page ). Check and wiggle the harness(es), connector(s) and terminal(s) (See ).
  4. Check and wiggle the harness(es), connector(s) and terminal(s) (See page ).
