Hard to find problems
ECUs share information and their systems may interact with each other. Certain faults may cause more
than one ECU to set a fault code or indication (pilot lamp or message) as the failure of some components
may affect the operation of several systems.

Subsection XX (DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM AND FAULT CODES)
GENERAL GUIDELINES TO SOLVE FAULT CODES
May have been generated due to a system or component that was
momentarily operating outside normal parameters.
May be generated when disconnecting and reconnecting a component,
replacing a burnt fuse, or may be due to a momentary high or low voltage.
Before being "Occurred", a fault has always been "Active"
for a certain time, indicating that an unexpected condition
or problem has been present during the driving cycle.
A frequent momentarily fault or an intermittent fault may never
be seen as "Active" in B.U.D.S. while there is still a pending problem.
This type of malfunctions can be discovered by looking at
the "Occurred" faults and then by evaluating the fault count.
As long as a fault is present, it is displayed as "Active".
Low value: Suggests handling problems
(connections, terminal contact/shape etc.).
High value: Suggests a frequent and unsolved problem.
The problem should be investigated.
Look for abnormal, excessive values.
When the basic troubleshooting has been done and the fault
code(s) persists, often the problem is related to the wiring
harness, connections or electromechanical components.
Short to ground, to battery or between wires.
Wire splices, chafing, terminal problems
(pulled out, bent, out of shape, corroded etc.).
Bad contacts in switch or relay.
