that is a neat light, I got a green one last time I was on there truck. It has a good magnet with a uv light for a/c testing.

[@glenohara6563]

I have a couple of pieces of white chalk in the tool box for those noisy slipping belts, run the engine and rub the chalk on the friction surfaces of the belt, makes them grip and shut up. Great for when coolant gets on the belts, dries them out. Keep up the vids great viewing as usual.

[@ScannerDanner]

+Glen O'Hara yes! that works great. the tire chalk right? the waxy kind?

[@glenohara6563]

+ScannerDanner No the black board type, it makes the belt grip. Just like the powdered chalk the weight lifters rub their hands in before a lift for grip on the bar.

[@davidb.fishburn9338]

Good video, Paul. Very interesting. Is that the 4.0? I recognize the engine family, it goes all the way back to the early 70's Capri/Mustang 2. Back at that time, it was a 2.8 Liter, and used a distributor. One thing i'd like to add here, i had a P0340 in my 04 Neon R/T, it turned out to be the little tabs inside the wire terminals in the connector. The tabs were spread apart, pushed them back in, solved the problem for good. That was a couple of years ago. Something to keep in mind when troubleshooting any electrical problem.

[@ProudArmyVet1]

I have the exact truck as in this video. Sensor tested good. What are your thoughts in regards to videos and discussions that the AC voltage or noise from alternator can cause this code to trigger when cam sensor is working correctly?

[@deyantodorovski4805]

Brilliant!

[@timconley2565]

How about using the the old Vantage to see the cam signal? that would work wouldn't it?

[@DiezCallejeros]

i replaced my camshaft synchronizer on my 2001 f150. was running good for a week and randomly gave me the same code again, now it stalls at stops and runs really rough sometimes. sometimes it runs good what do you recommend? thank you

[@sandspritpark]

[@jesusmalagon4336]

thanks thanks thanks thanks paul

[@movingupautodiagnostics8645]

Hey Paul, since this is a VRS type and produces an analog signal, can I still use a test light and watch for flickering? Also, I don't know circuit design here, does this signal goes to an AD converter so I can use the test light to test the square wave??

[@ScannerDanner]

I never tried on a VRS. And yes they all go to an AD converter but most of them are part of the PCM itself, so nothing you can do.

[@movingupautodiagnostics8645]

I see, definitely need that uScope.

[@billrimmer5596]

Thank u for setting up in poor conditions!! So when your customer replaces the synchronizer, will the scan tool allow u to check cam crank correlation? With no data pid, I am guessing not. The GM cars give u that. Will it set a code if he is off a tooth? Thanks again!!

[@ScannerDanner]

+Bill Rimmer no, you need to use a special tool from Ford to align it properly or it can be done with a scope. I've shown the scope method in another video on a Ford.

[@djmajiktuch82]

What kind of symptoms does one get with a failing cam sensor?

[@G0NMY]

when you looked for the cam sensor signal you were set to 20volts range (checked for good ground). Would the signal not show up from the sensor on that voltage scale what sort of voltage level is expected is it +/- 5v ac? Just curious no picking fault? I enjoy your diagnostic methods Thanks Mark

[@ScannerDanner]

+markg0nmy for sure, I could have lowered my voltage scales but you would have seen it on a 20v setting as well. Especially with the engine running. Remember the higher the RPM the higher the amplitude on this type of sensor. It would have been at least a 2v peak to peak signal at idle.

[@donniemiller3621]

Did you have the ignition on or off

[@Discretesignals]

I believe on this Ford's EDIS, the VRS CKP uses a floating ground and the VRS CMP is non floating. You have to be careful when checking the full amplitude of the CKP signal if you go across both sides of the sensor and you have ADCs that share grounds inside your scope. You connect another channel ground to the chassis or battery while having another channel across the floater CKP, the engine will stall or won't run. Another thing you have to think about on the CKP is which side of the sensor your on so your not seeing it upside down. A rising edge of the sync notch is what the ECA is looking for.

[@ScannerDanner]

+Discretesignals good info bro. Thanks

[@Discretesignals]

+ScannerDanner Learned most of it from you and the guys over at Autonerdz. I really never understood voltage drop testing till I ran across an old video of you checking an ABS sensor fault. That was 4 years ago. Because of you sharing your knowledge on here, you had opened up a whole new world for me and made me a better technician. I can't even remember how I repaired drive-ability and electrical issues before. I guess I was constantly changing the battery in the ohm meter back then.

[@tmoney6482]

Can i just replace the sensor that's the code that come up?

[@jeremyrainwater2175]

Is there any way I could donate my 2006 Ranger 3.0 Vulcan that will no longer start up after we heard a bad squealing sound and we had thought it was a belt but I believe it's the cam. Also a friend said he believes has an open ground or wire because he wasn't getting some kinda test correct on that wire your testing in the video here. I just don't know if the 2006 is different then the 2001.

[@goenitzlopez9391]

Is there any way this could be checked with a regular cheapy voltmeter paul? Maybe probing both wires coming out? What does this cause? Poor engine performance, poor mileage? Thanks for the great video

[@ScannerDanner]

+Goenitz Lopez yes, you could do that but the amplitude would be very low and difficult to see during a cranking situation (no start problem). With the engine running, you would be able to see it better (if it runs, some cars will not run without the cam sensor)

[@stevvas2548]

hi paul on the uscope can an 10:1 attenueator be used for protection on fuel injectors from another company

My question is would this cam synchronizer and or sensor is it possible to have the truck do a crank but no start does anybody have any idea because my truck was making these exact same noises before it quit

depending on your system, it is possible? But I think these can run without the cam signal? It's been awhile. I'm sure I covered that in here.

Mr Danner I am so so confused I did a timing chain on a 2006 5.4 3v ,I made my marks and took off the chains and put them on the marks I made and put back together and p0345and p0349 electrical codes then I found out that the chains had no colors so you have to make your own and that's where the timing has to be set and so I did it again and no codes why didn't it give me a out of correlation code? When I first did it and it was off timing, I am so confused any help so I can understand thanks a lot

[@ScannerDanner]

Daniel I've never done chains on this engine but I will tell you that if you have a correlation fault code, you are most likely going back in to do it again. My friend FordTechMakuloco has a series on this. Here is part 1 kzbin.info/www/bejne/pIK5fKGaZ9dgrdk Please let him know I sent you okay?

[@ispychris]

+Pablo A I just don't want anyone to waste there money changing something out when that doesn't solve the problem.

[@Pablo_Automotive]

+fishing frenzy This is the first intention of the channel (no change parts to change), but I think you can not know everything, because there are many conditions that only they know the engineers who designed the PCM, and who do not share with mechanical, even within the official dealer I was working for several years at authorized dealers, and not always share everything But Paul does not act in bad faith

[@ispychris]

The dealer knows everything if they have good intentions. Some dealers do not, so they just create large warranty bills. That's why you find some cars cheaper at certain dealers, because they don't try to scam money out of the manufacture and hire techs that want to learn not just parts change. Here you go with the key word think?.....Your just like an unqualified tech. Don't say you think this would work or it might or maybe it should. Hahahaha and i'm not even a shade tree mechanic, i'm a no tree mechanic. I doubt this was the problem on this vehicle. I would like to see more evidence.

[@ScannerDanner]

[@SgtJStupid]

Diesel tech here. In school we were told to never put a test-light in series with a computerized circuit; such as a cam sensor. The reason being, some computer circuitry can only handle so many amps that the test light bulb's resistance could attain and may lead to bricking the ecm. NOW! My question, to you is simply out of curiosity and not criticism as everyone has their own way of doing things. Did you teach yourself to do that on circuits going into the ECM? Did somebody else teach you to do that? Sure, the amperage may be small. But some of those circuits may have such a slight tolerance. Looking for your opinion on my question. We all may be set in our ways, but god dammit we can still be friends!

[@ScannerDanner]

+Sgt Stupid just answered your other question about this

[@SteveRobReviews]

👍👍

[@ispychris]

On these older trucks, i would say before pulling your hair out checking sensors just fill your tank with some non ethanol fuel. That might just clear up all your problems. Between summer and winter blend gas and all the ethanol they drown the gas out with, gunk is bound to clog up something.

[@ScannerDanner]

+fishing frenzy you must have deleted your own post because I don't see it here but it is in my email inbox. So I'll answer your questions. 5:17 It is an ignition coil, some systems will not power the coil with just the key on. I proved this one did. Do you know why this test was important? 7:24 ridiculous, I explained this variable very clearly. These housings for the cam sensor go bad all the time. The bushings wear out and then damage the sensor. It needs to have both replaced AND they come as a unit! 7:57 I said I do not think I have a data PID for the cam sensor, so I checked and I was right! I didn't! ALL CARS ARE DIFFERENT! 8:11 "I don't think I have the option on this one", meaning one of the tests I like to do I cannot do because there is no cam data pid. 9:43 wiring "could be" shorted to ground and not a bad sensor. SO I PROVED IT WASN"T SHORTED IN THE REST OF THE VIDEO!! 12:34 do you even know what a floating ground is? I suspected it was and then altered my testing procedure when I found that it wasn't Okay, I'm not sure where your beef is with me but there is something you need to know. I film my troubleshooting procedures LIVE. These are not staged. You are watching me form hypotheses along the way and then either prove them or disprove them as I go. Every single, "I think" and "could be" was answered in this video. I left nothing open ended. I'm not even sure why I'm bothering to respond to this ridiculous argument. And finally, your suggestion for a P0340 CAM position sensor fault code is to run non ethanol fuel? You are clearly on the wrong channel.

[@ispychris]

Go off roading and you'll get all kinds of weird codes that mean nothing. Are you doing a part 3?........I want to see some worn out bushings please. You back probed the ignition coil and said probably 12 volts here?.....Does that vary?.............

[@ScannerDanner]

+fishing frenzy That's a much better tone I am sensing from you. Thank you. I'm sure, if you go off roading, all kinds of things can happen but you will never set a P0340 cam sensor code from any particular type of fuel being used. Here is a video on the worn out cam synchronizer assembly that I did kzbin.info/www/bejne/pYa0oaGdh9Ngl8k start watching about 17 minutes in

Anyone remember NRVSIF? haha, no joke though, and it still applies.

[@LynxStarAuto]

Paul I'm not sure how it works in your State, but in my State technicians need to be licensed (besides certifications), and that license must be renewed biannually, before the tech's birthday. We do that by completing 16 hr trainings, and receiving a completion cert we present to renew. If you could tie that into your premium channel, it would be superb for everyone.

[@ScannerDanner]

+Lynx Star Automotive (Gabe V) How would we prove the 16 hours?

[@ScannerDanner]

+ScannerDanner I'm game for trying to figure out how to do this for you guys.

[@LynxStarAuto]

ScannerDanner You would need to supply a certificate of completion. You know those diplomas techs get for attending a training seminar, or webinar. I usually do mines with PTS. I attend their webinars, and they allow me to print the diploma once I am done. I can then take said diploma to the county, and renew my license. You would need to do some homework on your end and figure out what you need to do, to provide legal documentation to your students, and/or audience. I think you are halfway there. I'm sure someone at Rosedale can guide you on that subject matter.

[@jeremyrainwater2175]

You didn't test the sensor itself. You only tested the input coming from the trucks hardness. I have got to cut mine off and replace it. Wish you could tell me what wire goes where. Think I could call Standard auto parts and ask them which wire goes where

what is floating ground? is it come through high ohm resistor from ground?

[@killer2600]

+Raju Yadav A floating ground is a ground that isn't connected to main/battery ground. Think of two cars in a parking lot or driveway, both have ground wires but they aren't connected together. Between the two cars ground is floating.

[@RajuYadav-fd9wl]

thanks bro, understood !

[@YouTube.TOM.A]

+Raju Yadav THINK about if you climbed up on a electrical tower. [ don't do that ] one electric wire is 5000 volts the one below that is 3000 volts. there is an electrical potential difference of 2000 volte. If you touched both wires the lower value [ 3000 volts ] wire will act as a ground and current will flow through from the higher voltage to the lower [ approximately 2000 volts of potential difference ]. absolute ground is the same value as a wire connected to earth or the negative post on your battery. The bird sitting on a 5000 volt wire all day long is in no danger because there is no higher or lower voltage nearby

[@YouTube.TOM.A]

+Killer2600 One error in my explanation is that current flows from the negative to the positive. It's different to how our brain wants to conceptualize it but lightning goes up from the ground not down from the sky. You may also check to see if there is a Scannerdanner Tutorial on floating grounds on this or his premium channel I am sure you will benefit from viewing it.

[@killer2600]

Tom A That's technically not a floating ground. Floating grounds have electrical isolation. As per my simple explanation, if you hook the positive end of say a test light to one car and the negative/ground to other car the light won't light despite having proper positive and negative connections to two charged batteries.

[@LoreMaster2006]

Couldn't you just unplug the sensor and put the scope across the sensor pins then start engine? There always has to be them haters that give you thumbs down. Not from this guy, thanks Danner.
