Intermittent Conditions: Notes

2004 Oldsmobile Bravada RWDSECTION Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Cadillac Seville and 2003 Cadillac DeVille. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

DEFINITION: The problem is not currently present but is indicated in DTC History or there is a customer complaint, but the symptom can not currently be duplicated, if the problem is not DTC related.

NOTE: Perform all resistance and voltage tests with a Digital Volt-Ohmmeter (DVOM) with minimum 10-megohm impedance, unless stated otherwise in test procedures. Ensure ignition switch is in OFF position when performing resistance tests.

For any test that requires probing PCM or a component harness connectors, use Connector Test Adapter Kit (J- 35616-A). Using this kit prevents damage to the harness or component terminals.
