When your JCB throws a fault, you might find yourself cursing, turning it off, and then starting it up again only to see the fault vanish. That’s the classic intermittent code in action. But what’s usually causing these little gremlins, and how can you catch those sneaky problems before they disappear again?
 
Last spring, my JCB threw a hydraulic fault out of nowhere.
I turned it off and on, but that didn’t help. Turns out, it was just a loose sensor wire a classic move.
Now, I always check the connections first to avoid stressing out.
 
I had the same issue at a muddy site. The fault popped up, disappeared, and then returned. When I investigated, I found dirt was messing with one of the connectors. Those intermittent codes really enjoy playing hide-and-seek!
 
There was this one time when my JCB showed a random engine fault right in the middle of a lift it disappeared after I restarted it. After some sleuthing, I discovered a corroded pin in the harness. Since then, I always check the wiring first; those sneaky gremlins love to hide!
