In this video I look at a customers 2007 Toyota Sienna (with the big 3.3) that has a customer complaint of a SES light with a P0340. The customer played hopscotch with a ebay special cam sensor but didn't make any progress. Now it is my turn to guess what's wrong with it.

Used to ride/race dirt bikes too, and it's cool watching riding videos; feels like your out there in your mind, but your safe and comfortable sitting in your desk chair!! I always considered the electrical system as the Achilles Heal of cars! It's funny as they have multiplied the electronics by fifty now, and I wont buy a new car!

Nice video and great diagnosis. Never forget about pin drag testing. It almost cost me a $1000 for calling a control module on my Webasto boiler the other day. After going through all the troubleshooting it called for replacement of the module. Last thing I did used my AES Wave kit and checked the drag on the female connectors. Found a loose one and after tightening it up we’re back in business with heat and unlimited hot water.

@SirDeanosity Год назад

As a coworker of mine once said "electrical things are a study in bad connections ".

@NBSV1 Год назад

Yep. I had a truck a few years ago that threw a bunch of extra codes after someone had checked the pins at the ECM. Turns out they’d basically jammed the meter lead into the ECM terminals. After nearly re-pining the whole connector is was at least down to the original problem.

@gonesideways6621 Год назад

Worked in connector industry 30 plus years we had a test called insertion and extraction which measured the number of times you could plug and unplug connector module most machinery autos, industrial equipment never approached threshold of failure, we had hardly no complaints.

I learn a lot of technical troubleshooting with the use of your electronic Oscope tools. I'm an electronic engineering person and can follow what you are doing. Excellent approach. I also watch Rainman Ray's channel and he approaches things kind of the same up front (codes downloaded) and then takes a bit of a different tact without using the Oscope. Your two channels complement each other very well. You both know how to find the bad parts very well. Thanks for sharing.

The sensor from AutoZone got it started, but the crank time went from instant to 5-10 seconds. Ordered the Denso from Rock Auto and went back to instant. I don't mess with non OEM sensors anymore on Toyota.

as always, being able to "actually point to the failure" is sooooo much nicer than the "best guess/more than likely the culprit" mentality is what helps you sleep at night.
