'96 T100 Stalling-Module Repair

A huge thanks to my friend Tim for not only being an amazing tech diagnosing this issue, but for allowing me to repair this ECM, and for sending those waveforms to help create this video!
I hope you all enjoy!

I enjoy seeing computer boards repaired and saved from the scrap heap.

[@VoltageDropDiagnostics]

It’s fun to do, too!

[@PaulysAuto]

I really enjoy these PJ, I'm learning so much from these. It's fascinating to watch how to repair the actual problem we usually never get to see.

[@VoltageDropDiagnostics]

Thanks buddy! Hope you have been doing well!

[@joshstaton508]

I enjoyed it. Give us a tour of your set up.

[@DanWallis86]

Really enjoy these videos. I’d love to learn more about diagnosing bad capacitors

[@davidwagner3356]

Love how you connected the scope capture with the internals of the PCM and the repair. You rock bro, looking forward to the Prius combo meter fix, I see a lot of them being a hybrid repair Tech

[@VoltageDropDiagnostics]

I just seen this comment! I still need to edit the footage for the prius cluster!

[@davidwagner3356]

@@VoltageDropDiagnostics I am highly looking forward to that video. The shop I work at is a hybrid repair shop so we see a ton of Priuses that needs the cluster repaired. Most of times we get them from the dealer

[@teatoeman]

I really enjoy theses videos. It's really cool to see how these repairs are made. It is also nice to see someone jump in and fix it instead of just "being a parts changer" Keep up the good work.

[@VoltageDropDiagnostics]

Thanks James!

[@alanw5879]

Please do keeping making them, its great to sit and chill in the evening and watch and keep learning...thanks much

Gran video muy ilustrativo. Definitivamente debes seguir haciéndo esté tipo de vídeos de reparación de circuitos! Gracias por compartir!

Great Video PJ !! Really enjoyed watching buddy !! IGT- I GOT TIME IGF- I GOT FIRE 😎👍

[@neverstoplearning382]

Really like this type of videos. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for watching! Love your name, too!

[@jgeorges3061]

PJ, awesome i like the way you do explain how to fix really appreciate the time u spend to show us all this thank you brother more please never stop. cheeeeers

[@VoltageDropDiagnostics]

I appreciate that

[@joshuawood6588]

Great video as always. Keep up the great content.

I LOVE these videos!! Love board-level repair! You're gonna end up being the BigClive of auto electronics repair!!

[@VoltageDropDiagnostics]

haha Maybe one day lol

[@djosbun]

Hello PJ, I hope you and the family are doing well! Thanks for taking the time out of your schedule to make this video for us. Every time you upload a new video, I learn something new. I greatly appreciate what you do!

[@VoltageDropDiagnostics]

Thanks Dave!

[@Ianf1x]

I do auto electrics and with out a little bit of electronic understanding you don't know what's going on . Most circuit's have feed back to keep the setting stable like radios the volume would go up and down with out it I think if you bought some electronics kits to build like a wave generator . I did this and was soon repairing TVs for fun. Great vid well done😁

[@VoltageDropDiagnostics]

Nice! I’ve been working on repairing iPads and things like that. But yes; electronic repair makes me a better tech too imo

[@gregeconomeier1476]

Good video. Nice to see an "expensive" module can be fixed for a more reasonable price.

[@VoltageDropDiagnostics]

Thanks Greg! It’s fun too!

[@Chara-jv4bk]

nice video, we want one like that@ Voltage Drop Diagnostics😍

[@Chara-jv4bk]

can we invite you to do one for us? dear

[@johnvlogmiano9193]

Thanks you for sharing patuloy molang yarn God blessed you. Tin

[@GregoryBirulkin]

Thanks, now we have more skills to fix things when they drop the big one! Good video.

[@VoltageDropDiagnostics]

Thanks Greg

[@richgobin9682]

I enjoyed the video do continue making them

[@VoltageDropDiagnostics]

Will do! Thanks!

[@shamessun]

Good video... yes I like to see more ecm repaire

[@VoltageDropDiagnostics]

Just posted a new one! Check it out.

[@IntradeMotors]

2 options dont cut caps but desolder one leg and rock it to pull the leg out then the other and pull again. And with your tool , try to remove the iron tip and fully seal nozzle over the solder spot then trigger suction you have a secound where solder us still molten when you removed iron. It is how i do it with tools you showed.

[@VoltageDropDiagnostics]

I was unsoldering an smd cap and it popped. That’s why i have been cutting the legs. But I’ll for sure continue working on it! Thanks for the tips

[@hightttech]

@@VoltageDropDiagnostics: NICE JOB. On densely populated boards, you won't be able to cut components off, so simply wear safety glasses and pratice desoldering them. You have flux and low-melt solder, so you are ahead of most guys learning PCB repair 👍. My 2 cents: Don't rock caps (you cannot rock if area densely populated anyway). Simply flux cap, then bridge BOTH legs of cap with a blob of low melt solder, and it will drop right out IF your iron has the heat capacity. Then, add more flux and clear holes with wick or sucker. Get some KIMWIPES to help with final clean-up; they'll help you get the board looking like new. And FYI: the holes in PCB where circuit transitions between top and bottom is called a "VIA". Cheers

Lovely job thank you.

Many thanks!

Thank You !

Thanks for watching!

[@johnmac9055]

Enjoyed the video. It is nice to see some module repair work. I would also be interested in seeing your set up. Thanks.

[@VoltageDropDiagnostics]

That’s a good idea! Maybe I’ll film a video of my soldering setup after i get a couple projects done and everything organized.

[@danman9017]

good work

[@VoltageDropDiagnostics]

Thanks Dan!

[@madmike214]

Really cool!!! What are you Using to clean with? I once fixed a bad instrument cluster on an 80s something I forget but the printed circuit was burnt and I soldered a wire in between...didn't think it would work but it did lol

[@VoltageDropDiagnostics]

I just clean with alcohol. And yeah, installed a jumper wire to a circuit board is a legitimate technique!

[@richardcranium5839]

you should get a pwer supply so you can power it up and check voltages

[@VoltageDropDiagnostics]

I have one! I didn’t think of powering it up! Do you do a lot better of board level repairs? Any suggestions on where to learn more?

[@richardcranium5839]

@@VoltageDropDiagnostics i just tinker pj. years ago i did an electronics course (mail order lol) it was for tv and vcr but the basics never change. when my boy was young i got him a radio shack learning lab and we tinkered and learned together. its out there just gotta find it

[@SoyDeDondeNaci]

Hi jus came across your video how much do you charge to repair ecm modules ?

[@DependableAutoTruck]

i really enjoy them had thought about trying to learn but backed out. would you be willing to try to repair a 1995 dodge ram computer pretty sure i know the problem not charging voltage regulator bad. no one fixes these anymore

[@VoltageDropDiagnostics]

I would give it a shot. Email me at [e-mail] and we can talk about the module.

[@GregoryBirulkin]

One question sir, these circuits on the motherboard were marked how would you trace them if they were not marked? Visual? Voltmeter/Ohmmeter? One more question if you are willing, solder Trace was pretty neat, please explain how that works.

[@VoltageDropDiagnostics]

If the circuit board isn’t marked, you’re going to need a connector pin out and work your way through the board that way. As far as the solder trace. If you use a good flux, the solder will only stick to the copper trace. Not the board.

[@TitusHamilton-vc3ez]

What do you use to clean board?

[@bornforparadise7517]

Excellent video , i have a question concerning a toyota landcruiser prado 2015 , there is a warning on the dash ( fuel filter maintenance required ) to restore this light you should disconnect the connector turn the car on and plug it back in , this method is not working and apparently the message is stuck , replaced the combination meter and still nothing , need help solving this problem , can you please explain the way this warning is working and how to diagnose this error ?!

[@VoltageDropDiagnostics]

Man, we don’t have those Toyota’s here in the states. I can’t even get service info for those! Sorry that i can’t be more help.

Yup, it worked! I actually fixed this about a month or two ago. So the vehicle has been back on the road since.
