Let's have a look at this 1998 Dodge Intrepid ES 3.2l V-6 that was towed in for a no start, no crank. Assuming it may be just a simple starter I did not bust out the camera right away but I soon discovered the security light was on. So join me as we have a look into this car to find it is a no communication issue from module to module on the Chrysler PCI BUS however we can still talk to the ECM!? Sounds like fun right!?

I had one of these cars for about 8 years, when you said you had to find the bcm I literally laughed out loud! Have to lay on your back with your head under the dash to get at it. Love the channel!

@krugerblue 7 лет назад

Man, I so much admire you for your diagnostics. This is exactly what 99% of shops lack. If something is not immediately relevant, they just ship you down the road to another shop.

@alexmiller499 7 лет назад

MJR Performance That's the truth. I own my shop and people don't understand the time involved in diagnostics or the money in good equipment. so many repairs take longer to diagnose than the actual fix. hit someone up for 4 hrs on diag time for a 15 min repair and your a crook, that's why shops punt cars.

@wyattoneable 7 лет назад

The fact that you can remember acronyms and understand the basics of that vehicle's electronics is amazing. It gives you a direction in pretty short order. This video will surely help many people working on the same issue. Oh man, nice OTC tool. Sweet diagnosis.

@dakotastevens9245 3 года назад

Definitely a very very thorough diagnosis. Im a Chrysler certified tech at a dealer currently and you my friend have more stuff up in your noodle about electrically diag than anyone I’ve truthfully ever seen.

@mhadlock78 5 лет назад

IT guy here that also does his own wrenching. I have been binge watching your videos. I am impressed with your troubleshooting ability with regards to the computer systems and related modules on these vehicles. It takes time but as you say gotta go slow to be fast. Truer words have never been spoken. I regularly train a team of help desk and project engineers and will definitely be using that phrase in the future.

@stephenbrake3941 6 лет назад

This kind of knowledge is the best knowledge, constantly wanting to improve the quality of your work, always determined to sharpen your skills more and more. Usually people loose interest after years of working on vehicles. Such a positive turn to the video when you say you are open to critism, no room for hate in that comment haha. Keep up the great work, I watch your videos almost every day faithfully. Your the best on RU-vid!! Mrs O is always a pleasure to watch haha you both are a sensation on RU-vid, would like to see more collaboration with you both ! Thanks for all the amazing videos !

@robinsonsauto 7 лет назад

This is gold! i would love to work alongside you any day! if you cant take something away from this video your just being a thick noodle lol that even goes for the most seasoned techs. the thought processes alone are point on and honest. so many similarities in direction when following along, then you take it to the next level every time! very sharp. im not ashamed to admit i strive to be at the same level and you do it with ease. some day :)

@forrestmiller4055 7 лет назад

Your diagnostic skills are absolutely fantastic Eric, I wish I had some of those .......

@rpierce62 4 года назад

Eric, kudos to you for being the master of vehicle IT. You are more than a mechanic. In fact a program analyst. Your videos involve so much centralized data, not many mainstream mechanics could handle. I am always impressed by your ability...And a bit ashamed to admit you have more knowledge then my mechanic, who is always good. Long time viewer and always learning. Thanks.

@haywardsautomotive6156 7 лет назад

Bravo! Thanks for such an interesting case study. As a backyard hack, I'm in awe of your troubleshooting abilities.

@ecwurban 7 лет назад

I love how you talk about cutting the wire between the two modules and checking to see which side is active. I've done that before a few times because it would have taken way too much time to get to each module. But I felt so guilty doing it! Even though I soldered them back nicely and used the adhesive double walled heat shrink. Makes me feel better that other reputable people have done it too!

@DependableAutoTruck Год назад

in the south there are still a lot of these running i am go glad you leave these old videos up wonderful information i often watch some of these just to refresh memory thanks again

@Mr92cadi 7 лет назад

Amazing, so much to know, as well as having the right tools, including the wiring diagrams, and understanding how different companies 'wire' their systems. A bit mind boggling for me yet at the same time very simple and basic. Thanks for sharing.

@spelunkerd 6 лет назад

I wish I didn't find these no-comm videos so bewildering. When you and Keith describe these problems it sounds like a foreign language, and I don't really understand it at all. What I find most astonishing is the rabbit out of the hat success you guys have, which is ironically even more frustrating, ha ha.

yep..I discovered Eric channel back when he had 200 subscribers..watched the first one...watched another...and subscribed so I would never miss one. I have learned so much about the diagnostic process from he and Ivan ..and can now read with confidence a wiring diagram and figure out the flow of the electric pixies before them it was just a bunch of lines on a paper :)

@marktaft1987 2 года назад

I appreciate your knowledge base and thorough approach

@kyleschuh9985 7 лет назад

love your way of checking powers and grounds at a module. my instructor always tells me to voltage drop the wire to battery ground or possitive... and to do it on the scope. so it's nice to learn some more simple ways to diagnose simple circuits.

@SouthMainAuto 7 лет назад

Test light for the win. Twice as fast and just as accurate.

@dantracy4291 5 лет назад

Your top shelf I've been working on curse 30 years and you diagnosed that in the usual one hour diagnostic time that they give you at the shop I was thinking ECM myself although I would have done pretty much almost similar what you would have done only with the Power Probe to check power that way but I learned something thanks for your little trick

@zcvyvyan 7 лет назад

I'm liking your use of the cold open as of lately.

@johnnyestrada5635 Год назад

Mr O you did a good approach

@slashnburndotcodotuk 3 года назад

As you asked so nicely. I would have unplugged the ECM once i had seen communication on that wire under the bonnet, to see if the comms trace was going in or coming out of the ECM. Had i seen evidence of comms on the scope, i would have unplugged the BCM, noted the scope trace, then reconnected the ECM This would have established wiring integrity between the BCM and the ECM, and that communication was only coming from the BCM. For the home mechanic without a dual trace scope, an LED test lamp would suffice to see comms between the modules. Greetings from England. Learned a lot from your videos. So thanks for that😁

@alasdairmunro1953 4 года назад

Well I was gonna cut it but came up with plan B. Hope the lady wants to fix it so we can get closure :D

@torvaldk7709 7 лет назад

FYI, easy to 'click' the LIKE button when viewing...HOWEVER, the 'Bell' icon for notification IS NOT available when watching on Roku TV connected devices. Perhaps you might mention to us viewers that this 'Bell' notification option must be done from our computers, because on my ROKU TV there is no 'Bell' for notifications. Mine was a 1999 Red, 3.2L that drove me nuts until I replaced the PCM. The auto-stick tranny was really reliable in my experience and did well with just routine service. Always informed and entertained! Great shows! Just share with viewers that if watching on ROKU or other TV such devices that to keep up-to-date with your show, they need to 'click the Bell' through their computer.

Amazing how network problems can cause BIG problems. Most network codes I've seen are accompanied by "P or B" codes. Fix them, the "U" codes are gone. This one's definitely different. Great Video! Hopefully, there's a follow-up.

@kevinschmitt4050 7 лет назад

in Chrysler school they tell you to just pull the bus to ground at any suspect module or behind any suspect wiring to see if you can crash the bus. if so wiring is good. works quick, works good. also be careful what wires you cut or modules you unplug because a low resistance module or two is wired in parallel with all of the other high resistance modules to set the termination resistance
