Scan Tools: Generic "Mode" Diagnostics (Mode $06)

[@mikecont9742]

Trying to watch all your guys vids... thanks for passing on the knowledge......

[@GoTechTraining]

That's great Mike! You're watching some older ones now :) Mike Becker, Senior Technical Instructor

[@mikecont9742]

Very informative... you have the absolute best step by step videos out there.... thanks

[@GoTechTraining]

Thanks Mike! Mike Becker, Senior Technical Instructor

[@d.d4184]

Nice. I use eobd every now and then. This gives me a better understanding.

[@nickayivor8432]

Good Afternoon Go Tech Mike Becker and Fritz Fuchs Great tutorial thank you very much helpful information 👍 From Nick Ayivor from London England UK 🇬🇧

[@alexmessina7652]

thanks guys, always learning and your info is very useful, as always. Great also to learn any new sources for free tech specs; so hard to pay everyone when you're got 25 different makes potentially coming in.

[@GoTechTraining]

Thanks Alex! I'm great to hear you are finding our classes useful! I totally agree, finding new free tech specs is like Christmas for a tech. The more info we can get the happier we are! Mike Becker, Technical Services Instructor

[@cjmay1987]

i have a 2002 suburban 5.3 with a misfire code this video should help my self with diagnosed

[@Thefox2000unit]

Loved this vid. I was ESPECIALLY interested in Fritz explaining that Mode1 cannot infer other info to make a broken component seem to have a good signal. Brilliant! Would you guys be able to do a series on each mode? A good (with examples) length of class. And if what you say about Mode6 could take hours, then how about a two or three parter? The main thing for me is "real life" examples to highlight proper use of the scope/scan tool. Loved the class! Fox. N/W Scotland.

[@GoTechTraining]

Hey Fox, sure, we may be able to do that at some point. I definitely feel like there is a need for a further understanding of the "modes" out there. I'll look into doing something. Thanks! Mike Becker, Senior Technical Instructor

[@Thefox2000unit]

Wells Vehicle Electronics Thank you so much! Sorry if I'm bothering you with my silly questions. Where is Mark Hicks? Is he still with you guys?

[@GoTechTraining]

Not bothering me at all! Ask all the questions you want! Mark retired almost 2 years ago now. Mike Becker, Senior Technical Instructor

Good Afternoon Go Tech Please do more voltage drop, Bias voltage drop 🙏 Mike Beck Thanks 👍 From Nick Ayivor from London England UK

[@scottScottMechanics]

Good vid once again guys and nice shirts I red some where that mode 10 has a 400 day mem Also obd date I find it better for stft ltft ( fuel trims short and long ) oem has preset values that can Miss lead you

[@GoTechTraining]

Thanks Scott! Glad you enjoyed it. That is really interesting about mode 10 and a 400 day memory. I guess it makes sense. You are right too with the preset values. I've seen too many guys going and chasing down the wrong path because of those preset values. Thanks for watching my friend! MIke Becker, Technical Services Instructor

[@johnmitchell8925]

Thanks guys learned a ton

[@jagstrguy847]

Great video. My Jag s Type R is showing Tid: $07 Cid:$11 an Tid: $07 Cid:$11 both not ok...... Im still puzzled to the meaning of this an what could be at fault

[@GoTechTraining]

What trouble codes are you getting? Mike Becker, Senior Instructor

[@laraauto1057]

wow thanks a ton!

[@GoTechTraining]

Hey Lara, thanks for watching! Mike Becker, Senior Instructor

[@user-xy1cw8fv6z]

Like always very useful information keeptruckin to volume sometimes hard to hear

[@GoTechTraining]

Hey, thanks for watching! Yep we changed this is videos following. Mike Becker, Senior Instructor

[@HayabusaRydr]

What was causing the misfire on the truck?

[@GoTechTraining]

Ohhh man this was a long time ago...I think it was worn plugs. Mike Becker, Senior Technical Instructor

[@stoneburnerdroneservice]

Can you clarify how the current drive cycle misfire count can be higher than the 10-drive cycle count? I would think the 10-cycle count would have to be at least equal to, or higher than the current drive cycle.

[@GoTechTraining]

Hey, I believe that the current cycle is not added to the 10 cycle count until after the cycle is complete. Mike Becker, Senior Technical Services Instructor

[@david619dc]

I have a question about mode6 , if I cleared the codes and the vehicle hasn't run the monitors ,any readings at that monitor that isn't ready are accurate ? or the monitor has to ran in order to have accurate reading? thank you I hope I can make myself clear.

[@GoTechTraining]

Hi David, in order for you to get decent accurate information the monitor does need to run, or at least attempt to run. If you clear the codes, and then look at mode $06, you won't see anything worthwhile. That is a great point to bring up, thank you. I'll be mentioning this comment in the next TechConnect video. Thanks again! Mike Becker, Technical Services Instructor

[@JuanFernandez-zv2oz]

Could be neither. Tools and interfaces differ, not all misfires throw codes (although it should on most modern ecus).

[@GoTechTraining]

You're completely right. Neither tech is correct in that question. Unfortunately I am only able to give away t-shirts if you answer the question live. December 1st is our next class. At 11 and 2 PM central time. Hopefully you can join us! Mike Becker, Technical Services Instructor

[@bartscave]

I thought OBDII global did NOT substitute information in vehicle data? Am I wrong?

[@GoTechTraining]

Bart, That is correct. MODE$1 can NOT infer or substitute data. Live data, on the other side of the scanner can. Global/generic data found in MODE$1 can not! Sorry if this was not made clear in the video. Mike Becker, Technical Services Instructor

[@bartscave]

You were clear, that's why I asked. I was always under the impression that enhanced factory data could have substituted values but generic OBDII data wouldn't. I must be wrong there.

[@peteraazar9442]

hey mike is tech b correct?

[@GoTechTraining]

Hey Peter, sorry no, Tech B is not correct. Many vehicles can misfire and not store a code. It all depends on the misfire counter threshold. Ford's are super common to miss and not set a code! Mike Becker, Technical Services Instructor

[@davidhollfelder9940]

“Trick” question

[@davidbrown4709]

neither

[@GoTechTraining]

Hey David, that's correct! Well done. Mike Becker, Senior Technical Instructor

[@ClarkGraham-n7l]

D neither

[@embreesmith7613]

forget Strap-On, and thier bloated pricing ..!!

[@GoTechTraining]

Snap-on equipment is pricey, I agree. But many shops use their equipment, which is why we use it. We want to train everyone using equipment they actually already have and use. Mike Becker, Technical Services Instructor

[@electronmarkboggess63]

would rather buy a Autel and spend the money on a Pico scope $10 grand for a snap on scan tool/scope(verus) an autel with the j2534 box is like 3900 at most and you can get a pico for like 2K there you go.. $5900 and the autel updates are a lot cheaper..

[@70corwin]

Autel sucks, half the shit listed doesn't even work when you click on it. it graphs data pids horribly unlike the versus that graphs awesome.. I guess that's what you get from a reversed engineered stolen software and law suits. The verus edge and the Zeus hands down the best for a aftermarket shop. Pico scopes are awesome but the ones ive been looking at are 4 channel with all the automotive leads are over 5k. Verus scope is very easy to use and has all the pin-outs and specs which always makes it the first grab anyway. Pico needs to come out with a handheld model thats not a cluster to use with a laptop under the hood.

[@GoTechTraining]

Hey Mike, that's correct! Mike Becker, Senior Technical Instructor

[@8power0]

Please finance your own SCAN TOOL and learn there's more to life then snap-on for goodness sake...., HOW CAN THE WORLD TAKE YOU SERIOUS If YOU DON'T KNOW THE DIFFERENCE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ME AS AN INDEPENDENT HAVE MORE THAN FOUR AFTER MARKET JUST SAYING !!!!!!!!!!!!

[@GoTechTraining]

8power0, what do you mean? This is a class covering mode diagnostics....not scan tools. What does Snap-On have to do with any of it? Almost all full function scan tools can pull the 10 different modes of generic data. Mike Becker, Technical Services Instructor
