Thanks... 9 Volts is fine to keep the memory going, without turning on any loads (lights, blinkers, etc). In fact, most EEPROM need only 3.3 volts to stay alive. Thanks for posting.
The issue with CL is that if the fuse is out, you won't know and loose KAM. The OBD-2 tool is a done deal because it's not fused or it is only fused by the ECM use (larger fuse) which is rarely out. Thanks for posting.
The older cigarette lighter tool is found at some tool online outlets. The OBD-2 I've never seen sold, but we've certainly made a few of them. Parts are readily found at MOUSER or Digikey, even the OBD-2 connector for 2 or 3 dollars...Thanks for posting.
Good, you already know what my books are like. We also develop these videos into DVD format. Folks learn in different ways, by reading (Android APPs, Kindle, Printed, etc) or Audio visual (DVD or Android Video APPs). THanks
Yes I do, that's our specialty. We even have an ASE A8 Interactive Software DVD, with videos, diagrams, text, etc and Sample EXAMS. Let me know what you've purchased already through this channel, and I'll guide in the best way possible so you don't have duplicates. Thanks for posting.
That is a nice way, I used to keep the battery connected with "Booster Wires" to another car or battery till i change the battery, I'm going to build this... Thanks.
Ok, good choices. Your next steps are 1) Actuators, injectors, coils & EVAP testing, 2) Scan-Tool PID Diagnostics, 3) Techniques on Using Automotive Diagnostic Equipment, 4) Automotive Computer Network Repair, 5) Automotive Equipment Usage and Repair Strategies, 6) & 7) The Automotive Electronics 1 and 2. Try and follow this order, as I wrote the books with a training formula in mind. I have many other publications, but that's for later. Get them one at a time. Go slow and absorb the knowledge.
Be careful with doing that. The issue with boosters is that they don't really produce a sine wave. They do the charging through a square wave pulse. Super high end chargers do produce a sine wave, but are rare to see at a repair shop. Stick to the tiny 9volt battery and you'll also protect the electronics from electric shock. Thanks for posting.
Hi, well this video series is still ongoing. We're posting new videos everyday. We make it a practice to make it available here on RU-vid first. As soon as the series wraps up, we'll make it available on Books, DVD and Kindle and Android APPs. Stay tuned to the end of the series and we'll announce the availability of our publications here, on Twitter, FB, etc. Thanks for asking and for posting...
thanks for the quick reply. i enjoy all of your videos and have purchased a few of your android apps. off topic, but would you have any good books for engine performance. i need it to study for my ase?
is it true that 9v memory will only work with cigarette lighter circuits that are hot at all times? where as odb2 connector will keep memory alive regardless?
