A relatively new auction car with that many blown fuses and units out of calibration probably had a dead battery and someone momentarily hooked up jumper cables backwards, or someone looking for a bargain sabotaged it hoping no one else would bid on a car with that many problems.
Considering all the blown fuses someone must have reversed the jumper cables. Other reviews on XTool scanners have mentioned some quirks. Topdon appear to be more user friendly.
I have the Xtool D7w, seems like they don't care about North America , Europe, or Asia. I get lots of support and updates for Chinese makes very few for all others. Need to find another brand.
Toyota electric windows need to be cycled up and down individually to be operable from the driver side masters, especially after a dead flat battery or disconnect. i.e. push window switch down & hold button down for 2secs after window reaches bottom, do the same when it reaches the top, do this for each door. You will now find them working at the drivers side. I have also struck this on the odd Subaru. I presume the battery went dead and someone has j/strtd this reverse polarity. Lucky for them Toyota's are usually well fuse protected. Cheers.
For the past two years, my go-to scan tool has been the TopDon Phoenix Elite. I will probably upgrade to the Phoenix Smart because it has more protocols and a quick scan that seems to go a lot faster.
My wife now has a set of gear solely for my work purposes (Black T-shirt / Old Jeans) after I got couple stains/holes on some of my clothes. Does your SO give any trouble with you wearing dress shirt/pants?
What I do on my D8 (xtool) is just go into the module that you're messing with.. BCM in this case.. then you can go into live data from there and you won't have to search through so many pids. The D8 has actuation tests (and special functions) from there too, and you can usually see some live data as you do the actuation test. These are still pretty good scantools, you just have to use them a little differently on some things.. You get used to it when it's the only one you got. :)
@@advancedleveldiagnostics thank you! I ordered a package of those connectors that night of your comment and they showed up today... hopefully have time this weekend to solder one on!
on your scan tool, you are on "topology" if clic on "list" you have all calculator listed with trouble code, it's on a left top corner under the back touch
Seems like every scan tool has something another one doesn’t . I have a launch X431, a Xtool D7W. The X tool gave me headaches in the very beginning the VCI and tablet would not communicate and after many emails customer service finally sent me a return label and sent me a new replacement and it works great. If you need a contact in customer service email Phoebe she is surperb. Has the fuse problem by any chance reoccurred ? Thanks for sharing stay cool. Artie 👍
another awesome video, I love how you don't just jump into the wiring part but actually take your time to read the schematics and test the component integrity before going deep into it! I bought the top don recently and I've been loving it I work at a shop that don't really do too many diagnostics too much but watching your videos inspires me to do them when ever something does pop in although Itake forever to find issues lol
Whenever you have an Auction car with many blown fuses, I assume it was reversed boosted. Since there is no history on it, I don't worry about it unless it happens again.
He put a light on the circuit. if it was shorted out the bulb would have lit up. And also the new fuses would have blown right away. someone jumped this car backwards cables. happens alot at auctions. battery dies from sitting. People not paying attention hooking up cables or jump boxes
