2014 Cruze No Crank No Comm How I diagnosed the problem and fixed.

2014 Cruze stick shift. This is a example of how a technician may have to fix other mechanics faults to get to the bottom of the situation or back to the original problem..

Brian, you've always been a very devoted and honest man. I am thankful for all you do for us ❤️ 🙏

Thank you! I appreciate the support!

Hey Brian thanks for sharing your knowledge ! I appreciate videos like this. There’s a lot to pick up from this! Happy easter

[@BrianMann216]

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for the words of encouragement.

[@voodoob1tch]

Really enjoyed the video mate. Just found your channel from all the way over in New Zealand. Keep up the good videos man, appreciated

[@BrianMann216]

Thanks for watching!!

[@oliverrojas3185]

Hello, in this video is really good content that demonstrates a great deal of determination to narrow down the cause of a stalling, no crank vehicle. It is very reassuring that you used a multi-meter to thoroughly decipher electrical flow thru the wiring hanress. It is impressive that rather than buy a new wiring harness, there was stil enough internal mental reserve and physcial capcity to remove one from a another vehicle. Thanks for showing the benefit of exercising patience, knowledge, and persistence to bring the Cruze back gto life.

[@quintonauto5862]

Thx for being so detailed on how you went through this problem, certainly learned some knowledge in how to go through the CAN system, just had this same problem but only found it by luck, looked in that connector because i noticed carpet still very wet months after snow is gone here and was most likely place to find a corroded terminal or 2

[@BrianMann216]

Well you did a good job paying attention to the details. Sometimes that is all that it takes to be quick to the point on a potential time consuming diagnosis. Thanks for watching.

[@mrblonde2013]

Persistence and skill wins in the end😄 excellent job Brian.

You got that right! Do not give up !!

Dude you are a genius! I have a Cruze that I could use your assistance on lol.. I had a ecu pin burnout problem that I temporarily fixed and now I have put a new ecm on it and fixed the plug issues and I can’t get it running now 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@BrianMann216]

did you get it programmed?

[@kylehayes6498]

Yeah I ordered it from flagship1 and it wants to start but it’s not getting enough spark or something? Pulled the plugs and it looks like only 2 are firing? You don’t happen to have an ecu pin out diagram do you? I need to make sure that I don’t have the wires crossed on my plug and the internet is? Not giving me much information

[@tommymarkham4202]

Great video Brian. The network issues can be a pain, especially when someone has already been messing with it. Videos like this make me happy that I work indoors! Haha.

[@kdautomotive1165]

Watch everyone from start to finish. Definitely learned some new techniques. I under utilize the ohmmeter when troubleshooting networks. I tend to look at the waveform and knock modules off 1 by one. Ohmmeter isolated the fault here

[@BrianMann216]

I am not a huge fan of ohmeter, but using in combination with scope is great

[@ssrbob]

I think the most important thing is you selected the correct scanner to go with the cars color scheme.

[@BrianMann216]

LOL yeah, I think the blue painted plastic makes is go faster!

Hi Brian from the U.K. I’ve been watching all your videos for a very long time and enjoy the content and learning. With the difference in time zones how would getting more involved work with your classes etc Happy Easter 🐣

Thanks for watching. I love these type of problems. Just need a good battery and other people not to mess around! I was really thinking I had it fixed with the fuse block bolts being loose..

[@CubasAutomotive]

@@BrianMann216 those bolts were indeed a great start. It really didn't take you much longer to pinpoint the biggest issue, because I'm sure it was a combination all those little things too... or they would've been soon enough.

Does the topdon have the topology?

[@philh9238]

What scope model is that little hantek? Do you have to use the leads you have to turn a screw to compensate them or can you use regular scope leads on it

[@BrianMann216]

272d it uses bnc leads

[@michaelgreene7019]

So if I have a 2014 Chevy Cruze with same exact engine, only a Automatic, and it's doing the same exact thing, with the same exact Open then Close window message, I should be looking at the control modules? Is that what this video is saying to do?

[@BrianMann216]

No that is not what this video was about.

[@johnnyouk3513]

How you like using that hand tech scope?

[@BrianMann216]

It's ok, clunky compared to pico. But can tell me whether or not we have an issue

[@tracycolorado]

Pull your hair out , B. Your the man. What would you charge the customer for this kluster **** , do you charge by the hour , or the amount of lost blood . Hope you are compensated adequately

[@BrianMann216]

By the hour

[@darrenflounders2803]

excellent

[@BrianMann216]

Thanks!

[@brogren802]

Looks like the stereo install caused tons of problems likely from the mods to the wiring and the vibrations too. That line level converter next to the corroded terminals was definitely related to each other. Some people shouldn't be messing around with wiring unless they have a basic understanding of how things work. What a mess

[@BrianMann216]

YES some people should not work on vehicles!

[@philh9238]

That inititial resistance check of pins 6 and 14 isn’t accurate because you have a gateway module?

[@BrianMann216]

Same readings ( varying) else where, it should be 60, next cruise I get wi will show you.
