HEAT METHOD: When the problem seems to occur when the suspect area is heated.
Heat the component that is the likely cause of the malfunction
with a hair dryer or similar device. Check whether or not if the
malfunction occurs.
NOTICE:
(1)
Do not heat to more than 60°C (140°F). (Exceeding this
temperature may damage components.)
(2)
Do not apply heat directly to parts in the ECU.

WATER SPRINKLING METHOD:
Sprinkle water onto the vehicle and check whether or not if the
malfunction occurs.
NOTICE:
(1)
Never sprinkle water directly into the engine compart-
ment. Indirectly change the temperature and humidity
by applying water spray onto the front of the radiator.
(2)
Never apply water directly onto electronic components.
HINT:
If a vehicle is subject to water leakage, the leaked water may
damage the ECU. When testing a vehicle with a water leakage
problem, special caution must be taken.
