There is great technicians that work in privately owned shops. Just because you go to a dealership doesn’t mean your getting the best workmanship. Some great technicians can’t work at dealerships for personal reasons. But you sir, definitely know what your doing. I’d definitely go to your shop for everything my vehicle needs. Great job on the diagnosis of the vehicle.👍

Thank you for this video. My son owns a Ford F150 and had the "Charging System Service Engine Now" come up on his dash. He took it to Autozone to have the battery and Alternator checked in which Autozone said they checked out good. I looked at it and checked the three wires that went to the Alternator to make sure they were not broken and they were fine. My son then brought his truck to a Ford dealer who had it for 5 days and they told him that everything is fine and that they cleaned things up and it is OK. The next day the "Charging System Service Engine Now" came back on and I did some research and came across this video. He was going to take it back to Ford and I said lets just go buy an Alternator and put it in ourselves which we did and now everything is fine. What is ironic is that my son had his oil changed a week before this problem showed up and they forgot to put the dipstick in and oil blew out under the hood. I cleaned the oil up never suspecting it had anything to do with the Alternator but after watching the end of this video you said the customer had his oil changed as well and they forgot to put the cap on. I concluded that if oil is spraying out under the hood and it gets into the Alternator that it will ruin the Alternator. Thank you again for this video

Great job on the diagnostic. One thing seems very apparent to me, and that is the dealer did nothing to diagnose the problem. All they had to do was the simple test you did of connecting a voltmeter to the battery to see that it wasn't charging. But they saw an opportunity to make money, so they sold him a battery that he probably didn't even need
@justsumguy2u5 жыл бұрын
@Flatus Antiquitous Either that, or they were just too flat-out lazy to do a diagnosis, and just wanted to make some quick and easy money by selling a battery. They don't call 'em "stealerships" for nothing...

I got my battery replaced three times b/o the power shedding (i.e. switching off none essential consumers). Only after I charged the battery and let the car rest for 8 or more hours, the problem seems to be gone. The car dealership didn't tell me about this requirement, I found it in the manual.

The truck never made it inside the ford shop. Most likely the customer did not have the patience to have a proper diagnoses, and instead chose to "wait" instead of leaving the vehicle. So the job got handed over to a hourly lube tech who was told to replace the battery a sap. Dealership more concerned with getting the vehicle fixed quickly then correctly. Partially customers fault for being impatient and not leaving vehicle for proper diagnosis and repair. Still a simply volt meter across both battery terminals would have showed a problem.

If the alternator was good, you should be able to unplug the alternator connector, KOER, the alternator should default charge at about 13.7 VDC. You can also test the GENCOM and GENMON wires by installing a fused jumper wire across the two harness side terminals. KOER, monitor the live data Duty cycle for both GENCOM and GENMON. They should mirror each other, as long as the wiring is good. Have a blessed and safe week.

If this is a 2018 truck shouldn't it still be under warranty? The dealership should pay for the cost of the alternator and labor since they were given a fair chance by their "factory trained" mechanics/technicians. Or that oil change shack should pay for all the repairs since it was their fault. I remember I took my ford windstar to mr.lube for an oil change and got the transmission fluid flushed, this was on a Sunday on Friday I went and got new tires installed at Canadian tire and they told me there was transmission fluid all over my engine. Mind you at that time Indid a lot of driving including on the highway. I go back to mr lube and the guy who did the job said he did not connect the line bAck properly and had come apart. That killed my transmission had to end up getting rid of my van at that point. Great video and you figured it out so easily you are a very honest mechanic and you replace only what needs replacing!

Ya nailed it 100%. Had to do this on a Taurus. You can rebuild the 6G alternators but it can be a PITA to get the right version of the regulator. also the slip ring is a PITA to replace. Best to just get a new OEM one. All aftermarket alternators have the wrong regulator so they default to the full system charge voltage which puts the CEL on and takes a toll on the battery in no time.

I had to do research as well but when I was trying to explain it to someone they were confused and I found your video and showed them and they understood what I was saying. Well done. Only mistake I noticed which is not a big issue at all is you stated the engine is a 2.5L and it is actually a 3.5L v6 twin turbo. In my opinion ford had a good idea but it’s a horrible design and engine. Too many electrical components for everything timing system is known to have issues with the phasers and chain stretch, turbos fail quit often. And the list goes on. I work on these trucks daily. 2009-2022 ford f150 and f150 raptors. They do make excellent power and torque though considering it’s a smaller v6 instead of the v8 but in my opinion they are crap.

Nice video! Load shedding in electrical systems means switching off non-vital loads so that a high priority load does not overload your incoming service. On a vehicle, the PCM switches off the alternator under WOT conditions to gain a few extra HP at the wheels, lower 0-60 time. Many vehicles run electric water pumps for the same reason. Also when system voltage is low, non-vital accessories may be turned off to minimise battery load. For example on some vehicles the HVAC blower will not operate without the engine running. Radio disabled after 20 mins KOEO etc.

The system that uses has been in UK for quite a while called smart charge. You may not get a charge reading if the battery is fully charged or vehicle not driven. It will only show battery voltage unless the battery goes low. It's designed to charge while driving to cut down on emissions. If the alternator is on at idle it creates a load on the engine increasing the emissions. So some systems only charge when driving . Obviously this alternator was faulty buy the return wave pattern.

A few of us remember a time when one could remove the alternator from the vehicle and test a full field voltage and current output, on the bench. If the tech messed up by missing a voltage drop in the line, he'd have one last chance to find his mistake before buying a new alternator. Some of those had separate voltage regulators, so you could replace only what was needed. Now with all the built in electronics, you end up having to replace much more, even the one way clutch.
