This video is not intended to call out parts stores. The point is for people to realize that a simple scan of the vehicle with a print out of the most common fixes is not a proper diagnosis. It needs to be looked at by a professional so you don’t waste money on parts. Some parts stores do this to sell parts. Others properly educate their customer to go get it looked at by a shop. This misfiring Dodge Caravan will show you why it’s so important not to trust the scan and print out given at some parts stores. Always test, don’t guess. We hope it helps. Enjoy!

I have always known that. They are looking to sell parts associated with the trouble code they find in the vehicles ECM. They find a common P0420 and they are off trying to sell a cat or O2 sensors. It is all a gimmick. They use global obd 2 readers and do not drive the vehicle looking at graph's and live data. I get customers all the time that ask me how much do you charge to replace this or that component and I tell them I have to first diagnose the vehicle to verify there complaint. People are walking out of these parts stores with components they do not even need. Thank you Royalty Auto Service. Great video.

Even if they had scanners with live data. They would not know how to interpret the data. And it's a liability issue too. You don't want the parts store employees driving around with a scanner they don't know how to use or read and get into an accident, do we. 😅😅😅

We need bunches and bunches more of people of this caliber. There are others on You Tube as a matter of fact Ivan (PHDS) in State College PA is another one. Sherwood is the kind of guy I would give my keys, my car and a blank check (with a sane budget of course) and say go to it. I feel like he would determine the problem, tender a plausible and realistic diagnosis and execute a repair based on facts not speculation. I cannot find the words to commend this fine fellow adequately for his determination and honesty!

Autozone and O'Reilly's are a joke. They hire people who know nothing about cars. Their "diagnosis" always means you need a part, and when they sell you that part they give you repackaged Dorman junk. I really appreciate your channel and those like it where we learn real diagnosis and repair, and I'm really grateful for Rock Auto where I can get name brand parts 40% lower than the junk at Autozone. Thank you for all you do! Now, I need to get out to the driveway where I properly diagnosed BOTH a bad starter and a horribly corroded cable from the battery to the starter. Thanks to what guys like you have taught me, I did a voltage drop test and found the bad cable, which I believe killed the starter by bringing it too little current, frying the motor/solenoid.

@2nickles647 Месяц назад

@@Amarillobymorning777Not, it's just a report, with the possible ways to fix problems. My brother in law had his truck scanned. Code said fuel pump press sensor failure. He bought the part. Drove it to my house to install. As I was installing the part. He mentioned the truck will just stall/or quit running and then restart. I hooked up a real scanner, I selected the PIDs to see what the fuel system was doing. We drove 3 miles, she shut down and restarted. We drove home. Told him, it a bad fuel pump., not the sensor. As I was disassembling the bed. He went to get a new pump. By the time he got back. I had the bed raised enough. I installed the new pump and we did a test drive again. No more stalling and old fuel pump sensor installed. So the report was no where accurate by any means. I don't believe in the AutoZone so called Diagnostic test. I've seen to many come backs. It's a two fold issue. It's the same as going to a shop and ask for a diagnostic test. You pay for their time. And you called them Technicians. So, the Parts place guys are Technical also. 😅 I agree, the parts stores hire anyone who knows what a battery does. 😅 The part stores tell the employees how to use the code readers. The report is spit out. They so call train the employees. You can train your kid how to plug in a code reader and print the reports. Many customers fall into the trap, stating, I want a diagnostic run on my car. I have a check engine light 🚨. Many customers don't have a clue on what codes mean, period. You can talk to a customer what the code reads. If the customer and the parts person has no clue. It's a very bad situation. The customer ends up being the fall guy. Believing what the employees tells them. So now. The customer buys the parts. Vehicle still runs like crap. Is it the parts guy at fault for the customer not fixing their vehicle issues? Or is it the parts person. ? Again, the customer wants to buy at a low cost, what is it going to take to fix my vehicles..? Again, if the customer has no clue on what they are being told what the code means, what is the use to tell the customer? Unless the parts person is a mechanic and has experience, then sometimes they will ask questions. They may actually get lucky. I once had a customer ask me, she was having engine miss issues. I told her, before you sink $$$$$ on the car. Try using fuel injector cleaner. But 5 containers, add I can per fill up. About a month later she said her car is fixed. No more misfires, no more stumbling, power has come back. She said she was quote $$$$ to replace her fuel injectors. Anyway, I'm getting off my horse. Cheers.

@michaelpowers4731 Месяц назад

Yes they are normal o2 sensors. They use a bias voltage to check for circuit integrity. The reason trims weren’t moving is because it was in open loop fault

@Jpilgrim30 Месяц назад

Exactly. Chrysler has been using that 2.5v bias voltage for a long time. I can’t tell you how many jeeps I’ve seen where people put in brand new Bosch oxygen sensors that short the bias voltage and make it run pig rich or not run at all. I wonder if Bosch or any of the parts guys selling those sensors ever figured out that they don’t work correctly in Chrysler vehicles. I had one come in with a truckload of new parts on it trying to solve an issue they created by installing those Bosch sensor. That customer certainly learned the value of paying for a proper diagnosis by a reputable shop that day. They had to have at least a grand tied up in parts including a new PCM before bringing it in 😂

I don’t think those are wideband oxygen sensors on that engine. Being a Chrysler those O2 sensor signals ride on top of a 2.5v bias voltage. You have the PID for the raw information with the bias voltage included and they also give you a pid that is 0-1v so you can see the O2 sensor voltage without that bias voltage included since we’re used to seeing it that way.

Hi Sherwood, At the beginning of the initial scan tool data, you were looking for long - and short-term fuel trims. I realize fuel system status on both banks was open loop, That to me would be an indication of data was substitute value for the engine to run. You are right about oxygen sensors, not switching, but why.

First of all If you have a check engine light on it is good to know if it is critical like a cam sensor. Auto parts stores serve a purpose for that with out costing you a dime. Dealerships will charge a fee for the same service. You must know that a code reader is just that a basic understanding of a trouble code. A misfire code could be related to a half dozen items. So selling a coil pack is a shot in the dark. I have dealt with this for years. I steer people to the internet after giving them the codes. Blogs and youtube can help save people a lot of money which is the bottom line for a DIYer. For those that have no knowledge I steer them to a mechanic.

@alexanderzubar9593 Месяц назад

Parts stores sell part off the scans but many service centers are not good at diagnosing and they charge a lot for the misdiagnosis. The parts store diagnosis mistakes are less costly than the bad service diags. Many times the parts store diags and parts sales fix the problem. The customer is just being diligent and looking out for themselves. If they had a reliable service center, I’m pretty sure they would go there instead. .

@harrylister804 24 дня назад

The cheapskate scan at the parts store, if foolish enough to believe it is actually a diagnostic, uses probability based on mechanic input. Mechanics report that changing the O2 solved the problem 9/10 times, so the scan report suggests an O2. Buying parts based on that report is rolling the dice, but as you said, so is going to some shops a more expensive gamble.

@greg7886 Месяц назад

Prior to the new MAP, Could it have been in CL, due to the MAP circuit code? Unfortunately, you did not show loop status during the testing pid list. If it was in CL, that could account for those anomalies in trims and O2 sensor readings prior to repair. I know some cars will go on CL if any issue with MAF or MAP since they are so critical to A/F ratio.

Chrysler 3.6L pentastar uses narrowband sensors that are biased from 2.5V-3.5V. You are correct that the number you are seeing is made up, however they are not wideband sensors, they use 2.5V to 3.5V to bring them up off ground to prevent noise from all the other electronics. Your data PID's will include both this raw data (2.5V - 3.5V) and filtered data (0V - 1V). Chrysler is pretty behind the times, they haven't adpoted wideband sensors except for their multiair engines.

No the oxygen sensors you have there are the normal cheap sensors that oscillate up and down, like what you have there. Wide band sensors, also referred to as Air Fuel Ratio sensors don't oscillate up and down they go strait across using a 1 volt reference line and work on a Lamda data pid. These sensors are only used in the upstream position and are mostly used on foreign cars, I don't know for sure if and when Chrysler ever used them but they usually cost 2-3 times more then regular sensors. The parts store can tell you which one it is just by the price.

My dad's friend has a Chevy Silverado and one time he was driving and all of the sudden he got a flashing engine light on he said. He took it to the auto parts store and they said it needed a O2 sensor that cost $80. Luckly, he said no and will have my dad and I hook it up to our scan tool. So anyways, this is when I heard about it and I said sure, I can put my scan tool on it. So I get there and the thing is misfiring, I can feel it. So I said, well first of all, you have a misfire problem, an O2 sensor being faulty is not going to fix that. I pulled the codes with my expensive scan tool, sure enough there was the O2 fault that the parts store saw, but no misfire code. I pulled the misfire data and it showed heavy misfire on cylinder 3. So I said, lets swap the spark plug between 2 and 3, misfire cylinder switched to 2. So he replaced the spark plug and the flashing engine light went away and just was a solid engine light now because of the O2 sensor code. Parts store people should have been able to just feel the vehicle and know its misfiring without needing a scan tool to tell you that and that an O2 sensor is not going to cause a misfire, especially on a single cylinder.

Hey RU-vid mechanic dude, how much do you pay your camera man?

@theroyaltyautoservice Месяц назад

We aren’t professionals cameramen. Just doing the best we can. Most of our stuff is with an iPhone. But go ahead with whatever you have to say and get it out of your system. Lol

After 45 years I retired from the automotive service business. Got bored after about 9 months so went to Auto Zone for a part time job. All they care about is selling parts. Everything is set up like a retail store. When I interviewed they were all excited about my experiance. Once I went to work there they wouldn't let me use any of it.

I don’t believe you. Your DNA is to help and repair. if a customer walk in and you scan the vehicle I’m pretty sure you give your wise advice 😊

Its always pissed me off that people don't clean their shit out before they bring it in and have it worked on! And many times a fellar is stuck working under the dash or something. No common sense in this world it seems. Have some respect customers!!!

2:20 "I'm not poking fun" You were 100% poking fun. Why lie about it to yourself?

Bad take from a service business. You don't make yourself look good by making others look bad. This is like the politics of ass kissers/back stabbers in the corporate world. A different approach might have a totally different outcome. Anyone with any common sense knows a code reader is perfect recipe for a parts cannon dealer or a diyer. Yet, the first thing you do for diagnosing is break out the high dollar scanner.

No shit, Sherlock. How the hell else would they read the DTC and look at pertinent data? They're called tools of the trade. You types of people are funny always coming with that.

@@Charlie-dv7ev Why compare a code reader to a scanner, Einstein? Use your general relativity. The parts store is just looking at possible related parts. Of course they want to sell you parts. I had a mechanic take an alternator to a parts store to test it. It tested good, but he wanted to replace it anyway.
