Stupid Sprinter Scan Tools And Smart Ones Too 

No one watches these ones unfortunately. I’d do more but they’re super unpopular. What would u want me to cover in a longer form?

maybe instead of 'scan tool' keywords, try specific check engine codes and repair. Content around how a scan tool can help you diagnose and troubleshoot check engine lights. For example, scanned my check engine light with a cheap scanner got the codes P006, P0299, P0101 and still had to take it to the dealership for a deeper dive. The Dodge Dealership says it's the mass airflow sensor (they told me there were 15 ECU codes when they scanned) and the Mercedes dealership says its the EGR and EGR cooler need replaced. Would be cool to know how to reset the ECU after changing out the EGR and EGR cooler (they quoted 4-5 hours of labor) once I swap the parts myself (vs paying big bucks to the dealer)@@sprinterfix

very welcome, I have a couple old videos on my channel where I demo the delphi, I'd be happy to make a new one, what would u like me to cover?

@@sprinterfix My main issues with my 2008 seem to be exhaust, airflow and glow plug codes. I have replaced the glow plugs and module many times, struggling with egr and mass air sensor type codes, and exhaust temp codes. Honestly an exhaust maintenance video would be incredible. Options to repair and replace video without using a dealer. I have temp codes in a couple different places on my exhaust. And I must say, it is very cool you even asked! I apologize for not responding sooner!

@@davidcrismon8346 man. I’m sorry to hear that. If I had to guess the glow plug codes may have played a part in preventing your exhaust from doing any active regen. Exhaust temp codes are a little less common. But that could have prevented regen too. I’d measure the data stream of the temp sensors before any repairs. Finally maf and egr codes are interchangeable. So maf codes can be due to egr. Can also be caused by boost sensor which no one talks about. Also against popular opinion maf cannot be cleaned. And I’d say most people clean egr wrong. Can do more harm then good. And exhaust maintenance video is certainly in order I’m not a huge fan of doing liquoly + forced regen. Not because it doesn’t work. It works incredibly well. But not as well as removal and taking it somewhere to be cleaned.

That’s a reasonable way to go. I just like how fast the tablets are. With passthru devices it can take up to 2 minutes to do a health report. What did u use for passthru for your xentry.

@@sprinterfix Drew Tech CarDaq J2534. I know it is not for typical DIYers.

@@derekkchung I recently prepared a laptop for someone with xentry and gave them a cheap tactrix openport. he had the expensive drewtech cardaq 3 and was asking me if it would work. I guess that question is settled now.

Wait really? What exactly do u have? And what are u hoping to do? I’m usually nothing but impressed with mine but launch pushes a few scanners with the x431 stamp. Interesting. Yea. The other videos where I demo the Delphi were all on 07s and 08s

Where is the delphi sold?

@@brett639 lots of places, its a European scan tool so most of market here are Chinese clones which work great, yoyo diagnostics youtube channel goes into more specifics on the exact chips and hardware used, as lots of them have same outside shell but slightly different chips inside. I know walmart.com 3rd party sellers had them a while ago. more options on aliexpress

@@sprinterfix Launch X431 V+ V3. Sold it today. On newer vehicles it was very impressive but not so much on pre 2010. Couple months after purchasing it injector shutoff feature stopped working…

Meh. I’d just wait until u need one. Scan tool pricing having been dropping super rapidly as more and more competitors come on the scene. The 50 dollar delphi though is usually all anyone needs. But I’m. Not sure the 2021 model year is available for delphi. And they’re are very hard to set up on windows computers

Had to look that one up. Seems over priced for what it is. Do u need to input year make and a model before reading codes?
