Doesn't matter if you already have a bunch of EVAP videos. More of the same videos just helps reinforce what you taught us before. Plus I'm very forgetful in my old age so it always helps me. :) Nice quick & too the point video. I like the explanations that you added at the end.
The best instructors show critical points in two ways, to make sure everybody is on the same page. That circuit drawing at the end was golden. Great teaching, Paul!
Thank you for the reiteration at the end, with all the crap going on in the shop, I was confused and not picking it up, the diagram you drew was perfect. You are an awesome teacher brother. Thank you for all you do.
Very cool. I like your no-nonsense explanations for those who may not be very good at electrical work yet. The grounding by switch instead of switching the hot line reminds me of the VWs I worked on in the 70's.
Voltage drop is the most useful electrical test on simple circuits that do work. I use it all the time. Can't recall the last time I measured the resistance of a circuit during a test.
Hello Is manny here Ism a fork lift mechanic I just started watching your videos I really really like the way your word and your videos are very Professional Thank you
ScannerDanner iv never seen anyone so confident / dedicated & so quick at jumping onto test the next fault that youv got planned out in your head , YOUR DEFO THE BEST ON RU-vid ..........
Hey mate im in Australia and ive qualified recently as a autolec, your videos have helped me so much with my diagnostic skills. We have a few different cars over here but regardless of make or model you've given me some of the best tips and fault finding methods. For that i thank you :)
I second, liking that look on your face. The genuine technician " Can I bleeping help you?" Face Ha ha. I am ordering your book this week for my birthday.
Another excellent video, honestly how can anybody put a thumbs down to this? I have worked on cars for over 40 years,and the speed of change has been incredible. Us older guys have to keep up with technology,if not we will all end up extinct. The last thing i want is to be is some old guy pushing a broom around,and talking about the good old days of carbs and contact breakers. My advice to any serious mechanics, techs or whatever they call us now, sign up to scanner danner premium,listen and learn.
🤣🤣Did you say you hate this song.?🤣🤣 And the random guy watching..haha Now you have thousands of random guys watching 😲 But that is the plan. Always a treat to watch you Paul..in fact, I find myself coming back to watch the already viewed videos again even months later... just because they truly are that good and educational. As always Paul..Thank you for taking the time Cheers, Kevin
One of my auto teachers let me take a look at your book. It's really good. A lot of great info in there. A lot better than the regular textbooks the course wants to use.
Don't knock the random guy watching. I ended up furthering my career with the same company because i was a watcher. LOL A Supervisor noticed i showed a lot of interest watching a mechanic troubleshoot one of our machines that was down. Asked me if i would be interested in going into the shop as an apprentice mechanic in the new year, ended up going to trade school, got my Heavy Duty Certificate. Spent my entire career working for the same company. If i hadn't been a "watcher", it probably would have never happened.
Thank you, Paul, as always enjoying the way you do things don't forget to show us a little more of Verus ,and vantage also I would like to recommend Caleb to get close to you as close as he can for better shots good job thank you
Your facial expression at 1:48 reminded me of the old labor rate sign that varied rates if you watched or helped. (ha ha) Always interesting and informative. Thank you for sharing.
Mr Paul! I wish I could have given this video 5000 thumbs ups. If that makes sense. That bit at the end was so vital! I finally understand this. I have your e book but haven't read that section yet... Thanks!!!
Love your videos! They are very well done and the information you provide is priceless even after 25 years in the field the learning never stops. I'm definitely subscribing to your premium channel. I use a noid light is circumstances like this same outcome just easier to manage without that 3rd hand. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge!!!
Great work again scanner danner, you ran through it so fast I had trouble working out what was happening. But the diagram breakdown at the end was great. Top work
Ryan, I did this one fast because I've done these about 5 or 6 other times. Glad to hear the diagram helped at the end. Check out this playlist if you need some more info about what I was doing as why. ru-vid.com/group/PLAFYVCyenqcp9opu7j14E53UAIbn0b1r0
ScannerDanner just to let you know am going to go premium, hopefully I can get some more information. We have a lot of diesel engine (4 cylinder) over here with EGR, under boost, D.P.F temp sensors / pressures , ad-blue knocks sensors , diesel Turbo problems with mechanical vacuum pumps problems etc etc. Do you cover some of them in your premium . Thanks again buddy .
I don't work on any diesel systems but I have many happy customers from primarily diesel markets (The UK for example). So much of the material transfers directly between gas and diesel systems. Temp sensors, pressure sensors, knock sensors, solenoids, switches etc, it's all the same. Thank you so much! Sign up for the 14 day free trial, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
ScannerDanner that's fine scanner Danner no worries, as you say, they are are the same. I think I speak for a lot of people here when I say THANK-YOU, thanks for the information and the dedication to putting together your videos and channels. A lot of work , preparation and time is put into them and we thank you for taking the time and effort to to it. And big thank you to the camera man for his patience also. And thanks again for the reply. Top work.
I had to rewind it a few times because I couldn’t figure out why you blurred out the data link connector. Then I realized what it was when the cameraman kinda stayed on the picture on the wall a little extra longer 😂😂😂😂
We're all randomly watching you mate.... Ps I brought your ebook, nice work... it looks like next I'm gonna have to setup PayPal and become a premium subscriber.... Stay Safe, Regards Andy
I love to see your awesome videos. I have learned a lot with them. thank you so much. God bless your family and you too. greetings from Tamaulipas Mexico
Those wires can be a "Highway to Hell" but, Scanner Danner videos makes it all work out in the end... and if you get paid may just be a Stairway to Heaven , lol
"Simple stuff", uh huh!! I understand the mechanical side of vehicle operations, I'm still trying to comprehend the computerised-electronical side of these things. I'm reading through the book of my automotive course and watching tons of these kinds of videos waiting for the light to come on. The next step in this parade is the subscription to the Premium channel you offer, I'm gonna skip any free trial and just get to it. I'm a DIYer trying to get side work rolling. I'm sure there is a book titled "Automotive Computers and Electronics for Dummies"!
You will absolutely love it. It is game changer material, I promise. Thanks so much! I look forward to hearing from you in the comments of the SD Premium videos. Have a great day.
HAHAHA! "I hate this song" - I said the same exact thing the second I heard it playing, lol! I was about to comment, "The music was so good until 2:52 ... " :D I hated it the first time I ever heard it back it the day! It hits a nerve and always has. Super annoying! Great lesson as always brother! I think once I start doing more of this sort of thing hands on, I'll be able to retain it better. I learn faster by doing. I need alot of repetition from book or video learning. Just the way I'm wired. Got your book here ready to go in that new section of my barn once it's built. Speaking of that, the trusses are on their way - supposed to be here any minute! Foundation and drainage work is all done. All I need is the building and the concrete floor and I'm ready to rock! My 10k lb. lift is all tarped up outside - just need a place to put it. :) The scope is going to have to wait another year, unfortunately - been bleeding money this month as you can imagine. I've got 3 test lights though, lol ... plus the most important tool - your BOOK! :) For now, I've got to drag myself back out of my warm house into 36°, and crawl back under this 2500HD that's in my driveway for a steering box & pitman arm, plus tensioner, belt and idler. Came in for some lunch while the bubbles settle down in that hydro boost system. What a pain to bleed! Who was that random guy? Google / RU-vid spy? LOL! Talk to you next time! God bless!
Hopefully your video is not getting flagged for the music in the background. :( Nice video and camera work as usual! Edit: I'm always amazed how well you know your chapters out of your mind on the spot! Every student of yours should be happy to have you or that they had you as a teacher! I wish I had someone like you as my math teacher. :(
I was wondering I was doing coil amp test on a 2010 kia soul wire over plug system and once in awhile the ramp would jump really high and bobble at the top never at the turn off just right before the turn off halfway through the dwell it would jump high and bow out what I'm I looking
Now when you did your testing was it AC or DC and was that the car from The Highway ta Heck? Well Professor Paul at least it's not the End of the World as you know it. Excellent explanation Professor and you sealed the deal with the schematic you drew.
ScannerDanner, awesome troubleshooting skills...I look forward to getting a subscription ....I have an 09 Escalade hybrid with the P0449 and followed one of your other evap vids titled " evap on any GM" I am convinced it's an open in the coil inside the vent solenoid, because I get no click at all when I bench tested it with my power probe... I supplied 12v to the hot wire and negative on control wire....I tried to follow the second route you demonstrated...the one with just the probe and not a test light, because I didn't completely understand the 1st procedure...my question is you said to be very careful not to send current, because it could fry the pcm, however when you back probed your test light onto your "Phil's" tool, and then supplied from your power probe, did that send power to the "driver"? And if so, please explain how that is any different than just using power probe alone, and supplying power. Hopefully, you understand what I'm trying to say...sorry for the dumb question, but I was just curious on the difference. Right, from the start I'm probing, 12v on the hot and 0 on the control and when I turn the solenoid off using scan tool the control wire makes probe beeb and light up green, negative 0 volts..so I am assuming this means driver is testing good? Thanks again.
Without watching this video to address your question specifically. I think I can answer from a foundational point of view. First, it has to do with the driver design (power or ground side switching). If you want to use the existing wiring to help you "energize" an output, you MUST know your circuit design. If it is power side switched by the computer, then one of the wires goes to a constant ground. If it is ground side switched by the computer, then one of the wires goes to a constant power. What you then need to do is to provide what the computer provides. If it is power side switched you give the correct wire power. If it is ground side switched you give the correct wire a ground. BUT DO NOT get this mixed up!!! If you do it wrong, you can provide the wrong polarity and cook the computer driver. Hope that makes sense. By the way, this would be my Chapter 3 material we are talking about now.
Now I'm wondering if it was an evap problem that gave me grief with a caravan I had years ago. When I would tank up, it would run like crap for about 30 seconds then run fine. Had to stay on the gas or it would die. No check engine light, did it almost every time I got gas. Didn't matter if I filled it or just put a few gallons in. Never did find the problem. Had good fuel psi, held it too when I shut it off.
Some Engine Management Systems don't set a P0449...pre 2004 - P0449, post some set P02422.. Unfortunately OBD II is not consistent. Check out the detecting conditions for a 2011 Santa Fe...Fuel tank pressure sensor too low. DTC - P0449, no circuit malfunction. If this vehicle has an open it sets a P0447 for CCV...check it out...
I'm not 100% sure this will help you but it's worth a look www.scannerdanner.com/forum/post-your-repair-questions-here/16-need-service-info-check-here/unread.html
R HEIDEMAN ..disconnect one of the hoses that connects to your evap canister, I honestly don't remember which one of the two. If you can get gas after disconnecting the hose, the problem is the canister
How can I get a hold of you durectly? I've already had Ivan (Pine Hollow) look @ my 2000 Malibu 3.1L vin code J. He had smoked tested the entire EVAP system and found out that the Purge valve solenoid had a small leak in it and that the vent valve solenoid was perfectly fine. So I had replaced the Purge valve solenoid and now I am getting the same 2 codes again! P0443 and P0449. I also had to replace the catalytic converter which I also did! What I mean by the vent valve was fine is it too was smoke tested and bi-directional controlled (NO LEAKS)
And just to be 200 percent check the solenoid with ohmeter, just to make sure it's not a corroded connection at the solenoid. Just talking to others that may not be sure, not to you Paul.
The placement of the lab scope and how to set it up, hinges greatly on your understanding of the circuit you are trying to test. This is what I focus on the most. If you buy the eBook, you will be able to check out the material without risk as I will give you a full refund if it is not for you. This would also be my suggestion if you wanted a paper version, I can apply the cost of the eBook toward the paper book if you wanted to exchange it. Thank you so much!
Thanks for the vid Paul. Always a joy to watch (especially when off work lol) need your honest opinion of the new snap on Zeus? My boss bought one recently.
