Thanks for watching!

Yesterday i had to work in a Yaris iA 2019, guy took it for service and they recommend a bunch of "upgrades" into the exterior and interior lights system, and after that car was going crazy, check engine, abs, traction control ligth, came on randomly, so obviously the shop wash their hands and says is not related and they don't have time to check the car again, i get called and thanks to YOU as soon as i heard AFTERMARKET LED where installed i went, this is going to be the issue, it had a bunch of Brake Switch circuit A and B correlation, and realized that if you turn your low beams on, the third brake light would turn on, and in the live data the circuit would change to "applied" but the B circuit would stay at "not applied", with lights off, the switch would work perfectly on its own, so i dont know how but the rear led light/brake bulb made current pass through the brake light circuit without pressing the pedal and made the ecm think the brake switch was bad, replaced all the LED with regular bulbs, and 13+ DTC when away, thanks man my brain now is " aftermarket= probably crap"

[@advancedleveldiagnostics]

Thats crazy! Thanks for sharing!

[@juankrajo3874]

@@advancedleveldiagnostics thank you for sharing your videos!

[@tyberzann9713]

On my car i had the dome light also changed, bot not some funny behavior.. i solderd some 220k resistor across, the light, to get the dimming funcion back… maybe it will help? And thanks for the advice. I had to run normally after poorly installed 12/240V inverter with an crying customer and at least one dead battery 😂

[@nima20031]

Maybe they installed a single filament light where a dual filament goes and the connection was bridging between the 2 circuits

[@juankrajo3874]

@nima20031 it was a weird Chinese bulb it look like it had the 4 "legs" like the dual filaments do, but maybe internally they were breaching

Long time not here glad you back

[@ThunderbirdRocket]

@@GeneG-wk2mz Yeah !

[@ziaherebarker1593]

Thank god. A new video. I’ve whole month of waiting !!!!❤😩😭

[@sheerwillsurvival2064]

Great video cold weather makes it a little more challenging. At least for my old low circulation hands 🙌🏻

[@spirokattan3655]

WOW! Who would have thought... It's good that you looked at code set criteria. Great case study. Thanks for posting!!

[@advancedleveldiagnostics]

Thanks for watching!

[@1fastintegra]

I learned long ago, never throw parts away until the customer has picked up

[@ThunderbirdRocket]

Tremendous tutorial ! I’m particularly glad that you are able / willing to give us in depth coaching . You are a great dedicated technician .

[@craiggoodwin9704]

I've reached the point where I test both the old and the new before installation. Usually as simple as just checking resistance but it gives sorts things out before my scan tool goes crazy. Less fun in the cold so an extra appreciation for this video. Thanks for Sharing! 🙃🙂

[@advancedleveldiagnostics]

That's a good way to do it!

[@jimpetty2961]

nice to see your videos again Happy New Year .

[@ToddH-e6r]

Another good video. Please post more. I ran through all of the others after I found your channel a few weeks back.

[@advancedleveldiagnostics]

I'll try to keep them coming!

[@ThunderbirdRocket]

@@advancedleveldiagnostics Nice 👍🏼 ! 👊🏼 ☄️ 🕊

Parts changers at it again!

[@ashercohen4739]

Thanks for sharing.

[@garygarafano2953]

Great videos! You need a little portable cart to lay all your equipment!

[@advancedleveldiagnostics]

I have the Milwaukee packout cart, but I'm always to lazy to bring it out lol

[@MeL1AutoDiagnostics]

What a good catch !!

[@advancedleveldiagnostics]

Thanks!

[@gediminasgribauskas4714]

its only reminds again to put good quality sensors when u do a job.thanks for video

[@advancedleveldiagnostics]

💯

[@calholli]

You had already read that voltage limit earlier. lol. (7:55). I was wondering why you weren't seeing that or making note of it when you started your piercing probes... I get it though. It's easy to forget- or to read over a lot of stuff and things don't really register the first time you read it......... and I agree: I never throw away parts, even after it's fixed. I may need to come back to this problem a month later/ or may need to st3al something off of the old part, like a pigtail or whatever else. I just always keep the old parts until I get rid of the car.. throwing things out is always the wrong move. Edit: Oh, I guess you even noted that you missed it earlier. hahah.. cool stuff

[@advancedleveldiagnostics]

I did feel kind of stupid lol

[@calholli]

@@advancedleveldiagnostics It happens.. I'm bad with reading comprehension if there are too many words in the sentence that I'm not really familiar with. lol.. I have to stop and read it again like 5 times; and even then, it won't register until I watch a video about it and fully understand what it's actually saying. Thank god for videos-- I wouldn't get very far by just reading things.

[@benm5651]

Love the content and love the title of this video😂❤❤

[@3TsMOBILEMECHANIC]

You are back!!!! I was wondering when I’d see your videos again. Great video as always. Also I’ve been looking into scanners with possible cheaper or free updates got any suggestions. My autel is going to cost 1600 for the update I believe.

[@advancedleveldiagnostics]

Thanks! I was a drop burnt out but hopefully will record more now.

[@3TsMOBILEMECHANIC]

@@advancedleveldiagnosticsit can get to you quick. It does to me daily with the extra with KZbin and all the work I do. I had 11 yesterday to get to.

[@WeakPiggy]

When you read the fault description then tested and said 4.8v I was confused why you didn't call the fault. Lol glad you clarified, for my insanity, at the end. Good find. Do you like your handheld scope? Fast enough for data link, ignition, and spark? Thanks!!

[@advancedleveldiagnostics]

lol I felt pretty stupid.

[@weldingjunkie]

Can you zoom in on that little scope ?

[@advancedleveldiagnostics]

I don't think there is a zoom in after you capture the waveform like the pico. You can always lower the voltage to get a closer look if it's live.

[@ADScar]

Nice catch there. Gotta love inferior parts!

[@advancedleveldiagnostics]

It keeps me in business😂

[@mlieser1230]

Since they installed Don'tlast coils my guess is they installed Don'tlast sensors as well.

[@mohdibrahim1350]

I usually get oem sensors from junkyards for waaay cheeper the dealership, trust me its better than new aftermarket junk

[@advancedleveldiagnostics]

💯

[@luigigonzalez5062]

After market parts , close enough isn't good enough

[@s.j.5850]

Not with critical sensors

[@travissheehan6082]

As soon as I heard Duralast coils I figured the sensors were junk

[@s.j.5850]

That shop should know that by now - convenience over quality

[@nicolasornelas-e1t]

That Phoenix elite looks way faster than my Phoenix lite

[@Max-j2r]

[@naseembeg5396]

Long time 🎉🎉

[@mechanixautorepair]

OE parts sounds nice in theory but not when dealing with the customer,you win some lose some! Also they make for good videos😂

[@advancedleveldiagnostics]

I agree, but at least keep the parts you pull out and change with aftermarket if you are not 100% sure. I've never seen a Sienna with 4 bad cam sensors at once.

[@mechanixautorepair]

Sound like there's a whole different kind of issue there lol

[@AmitGupta-zk5wg]

Namste sir I'm from india..which scope u r use Scope name price brought to india

[@tyberzann9713]

Ah yes, the good ol parts cannon. And nothing works afterwards. Easy is that.

[@s.j.5850]

If all techs were as meticulous as you the automotive repair industry would not have such a bad reputation. Those critical sensors should be OEM.

[@John-wz3iu]

Jungle website sensors...😄...

[@advancedleveldiagnostics]

In this case it was Auto Zone, but these days there's not much difference.

[@zoharhagbi6685]

❤

[@thk7513]

With all the problems the aftermarket sensors cause, I am baffled as to why shops and DIYers keep going down this rabbit hole.

[@tyberzann9713]

Normally you can buy aftermarket parts from the, say sensor manufacturer themself, but the crappy party are still there and cheap. If you know where to buy and what to buy, you are good to go. Even as an workshop, or DIYer, haha.

[@jonmullaly7497]

There's a list but customer may prefer aftermarket mainly due to price and availability. Oem often junk as well. Ntk, Hitachi, Bosch, Denso, Delco has been good to me in Japanese applications.....

[@johnnysprocketz]

Cost

[@harveyadams5453]

People always trying to skate and not by OEM components
