Buick Encore -Towed In, No Crank, No Communication - THE FIX

In a previous video I had a look at a customer's 2018 Buick Encore that had the entire high speed data bus taken down by the rear differential module. Customer wants it fixed and the parts are here so let's find out if we were correct.

Why in the hell do they put electronic modules under the vehicle, It makes no sense,I don't care where you live!

[@ronallen6578]

You are talking about engineering that's looking to support parts and service in the future. I'm sure they want you to buy new, but if you can't then throw a few hundred in parts and 3 times that much in service. We'll thought out by the manufacturer 😁😁😁

[@MoeLarrycurly1]

Well and it goes for the ECM as well ram Dodge and several other manufacturers put it out there by the motor where it gets wet too.. I used to work on furnaces years ago when the electronics first got going and they just they would have problems because they're in a hot cold damp environment inside of a furnace..

Its called "staying in business" they know your gonna need a new one in 3 or 4 years. Or kinda force you into needing one.

Things get soaked inside the car than you think. Its called condensation. I hade a 88 chevy Beretta and its ecu got fried from water and it was under the dash. Water ran down the wiring and inside the box. All if these electronics problems are not a problem on motorcycles and modern bike have sophisticated traction control systems with 6 axis gyros, engine management and abs systems. They're ridden in the rain mud, snow etc. Theres nowhere for condensation buildup on these vehicles like cars.

Whenever I have a connector that is tough plugging in, i just smear a thin film of dielectric grease in the female side of the housing and it clicks right together nice and smoothly every time. You wouldn't think the rubber would bind up like it does but clean rubber against clean plastic just will not slide. Oh and as a bonus the grease provides a little more moisture resistance!

I'd love to hear more of his thoughts on this, and what his preferences in terms of manufacturers are now, if he has any.

[@hochhaul]

I used to be a diehard Toyota guy. The quality has gone to sht with their trucks and I'm no longer interested. If you haven't heard, 2022+ Tundras are eating crank bearings like the cookie monster eats cookies, and Toyota makes a point of being a scummy manufacturer and blaming you for their bad engineering.

[@Wrenchingandnursing]

@@hochhaul I do electric and transmissions as a specialty. The new Tacomas have incredibly weak transmissions. The torque converters in them are made of play doh, and their camera and accessory circuits have horrible insulation quality control and the modules for the cameras themselves are pathetic quality compared to what we expect out of Toyota. They still are probably the most consistent brand for quality, but they have taken a stark nosedive compared to their last 20-30 years. I don't have brand loyalty because they all make great stuff, and they all make bad stuff. The newest generation of Colorados are amazing trucks and I have a ZR2. The quality is hands down the best in the category in my professional opinion, but the great irony is that the colorados before 23 were probably the worst truck ever made with the 3.6, trans, and electrical problems it was plagued with from start to finish. We could pick any brand and find a long history of greatness and failure.

[@hochhaul]

Better than current Toyota trucks. The Tacoma is now garbage imported from Mexico and the Tundra has been having engine failures for 3 years now and nothing done about it by Toyota aside from accusing owners of causing it and replacing only with a new short block and old parts, built by a tech at the dealer. $32k job if it's approved for warranty.

[@johnpereira822]

You make it look easy the way you just narrow down the modules

[@2nickles647]

With a proper scan tool. You can do it. I bought a better scan tool and scope because of Eric and Ivan.

[@Ragnar8504]

Breaking down a circuit into parts to narrow down the location of a fault is the number one technique in any systematic electrical or electronics fault finding. No matter if it's your hallway and kitchen lights at the house or a complicated data network. Figure out how the wires run and start splitting to see which part has the fault. Then split that again, until you've got the culprit. Of course knowing potential causes of a specific symptom is also necessary, like in this case "loss of communication could either be caused by faulty wires or by a faulty module" and knowing how to distinguish between the two, in this case measuring the circuit's resistance to rule out the physical wiring bit.

[@DIYDaveOK]

[@Dr_Reason]

I think the real GM is no longer around. Every part is outsourced and sold at high price.

[@hochhaul]

Steer clear of the Tundra. The 2022+ Tundras have engines that blow up and Toyota will drag you through the coals before they approve the warranty work. $32,000+ job fyi. Toyota is not the company it once was.

[@hochhaul]

@@Dr_Reason Neither is Toyota. the 3rd gen Tacoma was rated least reliable midsize truck by Consumer Reports 4 years in a row for engine issues, trans issues, howling and leaking rear diffs. All Tacomas are now imported from Mexico. The 2022-2024 Tundra are eating crank bearings and Toyota likes to play dumb and accuse you of causing the failure even though it's common knowledge that the engines are failing. The repair is $32k and they are not even replacing the engine with a new crate engine, but instead they send the dealer a block with pistons and crankshaft, and then tell the dealer to build an engine from potentially contaminated parts. Garbage company

Brand loyalty is moronic and Toyota trucks have been trash in recent years. The Tacoma is now an import from Mexico and was rated least reliable midsize truck by Consumer Reports for 4 years in a row, and the 2022+ Tundra has been having engine failures left and right, and Toyota frequently accuses the owner of being at fault even thought they know the crank bearings are failing due to bad engineering.

[@ashercohen4739]

Thanks for the videos i learn your way to find a fault well done

[@rhkips]

Whenever I'm training new folks, I make it a point to drill into their heads: "GMs like naps." Got a code that won't clear even though you know the fault is fixed? Let the car take a nap. Car acting like it's posessed after programming? Let the car take a nap. GMs work hard, they need lots of sleep! As for your passenger presence module issue, as long as you have the VIN in SPS2, might be worthwhile attempting a seat weight sensor calibration. These older bladder-style sensors fail quite frequently, and if they fail way into negative numbers, it can trip a false "internal failure" code. If you're bored, and live data is kind enough to give you an actual calculated weight value, sometimes you can even tease them back into calibration! :D
