Recreating the Fault
Recreating the concern is the first step in isolating the cause of the intermittent symptom. A thorough investigation should start with the customer information worksheet located in the back of this manual. If freeze frame data is available, it may help in recreating the conditions at the time of a malfunction indicator lamp diagnostic trouble code (MIL DTC). Listed below are some of the conditions for recreating the concern:

| Engine Type Conditions | Non-Engine Type Conditions |
|---|---|
| Engine Temperature | Ambient Temperature |
| Engine RPM | Moisture Conditions |
| Engine Load | Road Conditions (Smooth-Bumpy) |
