Today, more and more of you are embracing the use of the scope and are taking advantage of the diagnostic power this relatively simple tool provides in helping you locate the cause of problems not just in electrical systems, but nearly every system on the vehicle.
But on this edition of The Trainer, I want to address those of you who have not yet joined the ranks - for whatever reason that may be - and introduce you to the variety of ways a scope can be used in the hopes that you’ll at least try this powerful diagnostic aid for yourself.
Let’s get started!
Learn from Pete starting with the beginning set up of your scope! Great series for any user using any brand scope for automotive testing. Series starts with How2 #16:

Great information !!

Very good! Been using scopes for CAN concerns for years (problem vehicles). The new Specialty scopes do scope and CAN bus concerns like wake up and keep alive. If you can dedicate time to learn this Technology it is a game changer in the shop. Granted, I work on trucks and cars of the same brand.

Pete excellent video and presentation. Thank You for sharing your knowledge and info. So many videos and so much to learn definitely keeps me busy during these trying times. Also. meet a lot of great techs like yourself taking all the webinar classes. Stay safe and well and happy new year Artie 🇺🇸😊

Have you checked out the Auto Ditex Two Channel Tablet Based Viso Scope ? There are a lot of pre loaded set ups and a help section to make it easier to use . Diagnose Dan and Romano's Automotive have several videos on it . There is a lot of wasted time and parts on misdiagnosis . I don't see how they get away with NOT fixing the car , while passing huge bills to customers . These cars are not easy , but either is not fixing the problems . You can do a relative compression test with the Snap On MT-2400 Vantage , which has been around for decades . So there really is no excuse . Some shops are still in the stone age .

I have not tried the Auto Ditex. Maybe, if they're watching, they'll contact us!

Used one today to diagnose a fault in a starter circuit. To the ear it sounded like a slow starter but the scope showed different. No fault with the starter.

@seftonplayer32 3 года назад

What ended up being the fault? Which vehicle was it?

@MotorAgeMagazine 3 года назад

Yeah, don't leave us hanging!

@Byzmax 3 года назад

@@MotorAgeMagazine. It is a 1950's Lancia Flaminia. The Starter circuit has protection system to stop it being engaged when the engine is running. (large capacitor and relay using the dynamo output) Just by using a current clamp on the battery with the ignition coil disconnected you could see that there was a very short drop out of supply to the starter on every other revolution (720 degrees). Working back from there and bypassing the lock out circuit the problem dissappeared. The customer had already changed the battery. The detail that the scope showed was great. As the current rose it would drop out for 50ms then kick back in and the trace actually showed the increase in current required on that compression to get back up to speed. You would not have known otherwise. As matter of note, I'm new to scopes from an automotive point of view. I have been trying to show benefits to a company I do some body fabrication work for (my trade, I'm not a Mechanic) Your videos, South Main Auto and Scanner Danner got me interested so I bought a PICO and cobbled together some other bits and after testing it out on my own car I have now used it a few times at work. In one case it took me about 20 minutes to find an intermittent ignition fault that had accrued many hours of part swapping and head scratching. So keep up the good work of pushing this message.

Happy New Year Pete. Thanks for showing the possibilities of a scope. I watch Paul Danner and Bernie at ATS and the problem for me is the cost of the equipment. Do you have any recommendations on entry level equipment that you can grow over the time? I have looked at ATS, Autel and SnapOn and I’m looking at $6000 to $10000 for the equipment.

@MotorAgeMagazine 3 года назад

If you're looking for just a scope, and want a unit that you can expand, take a close look at both the ATS PC-based scope and the PICO PC-based scope.

@fryreartechnology7611 3 года назад

Not sure if I missed it in the video but on the scope what kind of sample rate do you need I have some old school bench o-scope 20mHz? What you says is a good price for a diy’er who does advance work on family and friends cars too. I dream of having a shop someday. Thank you

@MotorAgeMagazine 3 года назад

Even basic scopes will perform well on most automotive systems. As a good friend once told me, "Any scope is better than no scope." And, after you've used it a while, you may outgrow it and want to move up to something more potent...

@fryreartechnology7611 3 года назад

@@MotorAgeMagazine do you have one you like over other with your wisdom in tooling? One that has all the fun attachments for in-depth troubleshooting?

@MotorAgeMagazine 3 года назад

@@fryreartechnology7611 I like both the ATS and the PICO. I don't think you could go wrong with either one. I think you can download the software for both and play with them in demo mode, so try that before you buy.

Question: (Love the scope videos Still somewhat New to the scope, I can only analyze samples if I have a known good of my exact application. ) Does placing the pressure transducer (what size transducer) on the dipstick of a DIESEL engine (ie: 6.0 Powerstroke) , will that sample be the same analysis as a gasoline engine?

@MotorAgeMagazine 3 года назад

Haven’t tried but I’m sure it would be.

@cowboy41231 3 года назад

@@MotorAgeMagazine ok thanks for reply, I thought diesels crsbkcase were always under a (positive) pressure whereas a gasolines engine vacuum would change or different range of #'s (ie: 2"hg to 2psi)

I've learned so much off you that I know you'll pick-up on it quick... would love to see some diesel stuff added to your channel!

When you going to talk about diagnostics like air bag systems abs diagnostics. Can bus testing. This channel could be huge it’s repetitive voltage drop and scope talk.

@MotorAgeMagazine 3 года назад

You'll see a lot more of what you want in 2021. We're adding our TechTips series and expanding our How2 series, and adding more diagnostic content in our Trainer series. March is all about CAN bus troubleshooting!
