The TOPDON Phoenix Plus Has Everything You Need in a Scan Tool! | My Review

[@gamingplaylistsp]

Pls don't stop make vids Matt! You're a hero seriously. These are my two favourite cars on the planet you have!.

[@connerenglish2820]

I’ve loved the Tahoe build. Your videos are really good! Keep them coming.

[@omarzowila]

Even though the Tahoe is back to stock cosmetically, it actually looks pretty good

[@codyman15294]

Bringing home my old 1989 Firebird this summer, got some plans for it that you have been a big inspiration for. Keep up all the fantastic content!

[@johnsnow1355]

Nice I have a 85 with a vortec 350 swap to tinker on

[@expediteplanb7443]

It’s great to see Tahiti again. Can’t wait to see the upcoming videos of her!

[@jewllake]

The rear actuator is fine. This is a common problem and it happened in my 06 Yukon. Back in 2010 I took the actuator out and took it apart. I put a shallow screw and nut to serve as a stopper. It over travelled and defaulted to the cold position. If you search the net, you should find posts on it. Mine has been working fine since 2010.

[@lsxmatt]

Had the same thing happen to the recirc a few months ago.

[@wjs1820]

Thanks for showing real application of the tool and how to work through it.

[@dugy40]

I’d also like to know how to tune mine.

[@budi9728]

Hey from Bayonne. Any luck with the Astra? I just picked one up and didnt realize how much of a pia it will be. Looking for a scanner and found your video.

[@nw_po]

Can’t believe you’re about to hit 100k subs. Can’t wait for more Trans Am videos!

[@ModestNeophyte]

man i havent seen you on my feed in awhile, so happy for another tahiti update!

[@dennyslover]

Would this scanner be able to update the ECM for a retrofit efans or TPMS install? If so that would really help!

[@apacheone3643]

I want to see this on a 2024 or 2025 car . Working on a older vehicle means that they have the software to do these test !

[@nonenone1249]

will it do a active test to demand max fuel pressure on the cp3 injection pump to test?for a 2005 gmc sierra 2500hd with a 6.6L duramax?if not do you know what bidirectional scanner will? thank you

[@KegRaider]

Just ordered mine, looking forward to playing with it!

[@erikv86]

Not sure if this will help you but the numbers for the engine code are the size of the engine, 22 is 2.2L, 18 is 1.8L. I owned a 2005 4 door Astra H for a while here in Australia. Also, selecting Opel would probably let you do the auto select since its technically a Opel.

[@lsxmatt]

Cool good to know. I tried auto select with Opel first but the scanner thought it was an Astra G.

[@erikv86]

​@@lsxmatt the Astra isn't having an identity crisis is it?

[@dugy40]

Will it scan my Dodge Durango without an auto auth subscription? The listings on Amazon for all TOPDON plus don’t list normal cars. Chevy. Ford. Dodge. Ect.

[@othername2258]

Went to TopDon website. For the Durangos, it will scan '98 and newer. Notice they didn't breakdown to the actual trim (don't know if that matters). Good luck.

[@johnsnow1355]

The gm tpms requires the activation tool that u stick on the tire sidewall and when you put the vehicle in learn mode it honks as u go lf rf rr lr. At least thats my experience as a gm tech in the past. Some cheap aftermarket sensors have to be programmed before you install them.

[@lsxmatt]

The Astra is different, they need to be programmed before installing. There’s no integrated system to program them through he car.

[@johnsnow1355]

@@lsxmatt the gm tool can also scan and obtain the I'd code for the sensors to program in the TPMS module as well. It can go through the tire sidewall to read the sensors if you have it pointed at the sensor through the tire sidewall.

[@RedCat2299]

Check the ECM ground on the back of the passenger side head. Usually I replace them with a thicker wire cause they suck from factory.

[@shawnsavage9015]

Nice scan tool. What year models do it cover?

[@toeroberts69]

Hi hope you’re well. Can it reset the central locking with the key fob ? Thank you in advance.

[@mattm5786]

Hey if your looking for a really good aftermarket headlight brand as good as oem and a 1/3 the price, use TYC (look and fit exactly like oem) used them on my Tahoe and Silverado and they fit perfectly

[@mikes9117]

Does the topdon display min-max values for example mass airflow readings on a test test drive?

[@KO-pk7df]

On my Tahoe the rear gets stuck on HOT, and took it all apart and found the Hot/Cold blend door shaft that goes onto the blend door motor had broken. I repaired it and it worked for a year and now it must be broke again because it is stuck on Hot mode. Wish it had broke in Cool mode, I would be happy to just leave it there. But My German Sheppard rides back there so I have to fix it again. The part that broke is not sold by itself so I may have to find the whole assy in a junk yard or something. ** It is a big pain to take all the panels apart in the back to get to it**

[@mohamedalima3639]

I just wanna ask if topdon phoinix plus does reprogram simi gearbox or not

[@frankroyall1734]

Great channel. I have an 03 Tahoe but my trans temp is climbing. No coolant leaks smh. Ever experience that?

[@stormcerj]

Whyd you take the HD front off?

[@georgef1176]

Matt do you think the topdown will be a good scanner for my 2021 Silverado 5.3? I am seriously looking at the phoenix smart. it does CanFD, DoIP, j2534, rp1210, D-PDU etc.

[@ANDY-we7mr]

MATT HAS IT GOT KEY CODING AND IS IT BETTER THAN THE TOPDON DIAGNOSTIC PHOENIX PRO

[@Antonemachine]

Can you view mileage travelled on all modules with the TopDon? Would it recognise Holden Commodore (Australian built car)?

[@watuzi]

Where did you get the matching door handles? I have regular black door handles and I've always wanted to swap them to match the body. Thanks

[@lsxmatt]

They come on the Z71’s.

[@blackspike2710]

You mentioned a while back something about rooftop solar. Any progress on that?

[@lsxmatt]

Nothing yet.

[@chrisnunez5350]

[@Shallowballow]

These are so solid man but a 07-13 would have been sick always loved those tahoes

[@andyb1185]

Can you share your thoughts on the catch can on the Tahoe?

[@milliondollar2981]

Anybody know if this will work with a 7.3 Excursion? buzz test?

[@audimanao]

The rear heat on the tahoe not working is most likely a bad rear hvac module there is a tsb out for them going bad. Only way to fix is with a brand new module.

[@mikea9521]

You run auto scan, then automatic search. It pulls it up, no problem! I own 3 different topdon scan tools and they are awesome!

[@Ghosts_Wolfs]

Is the topdon Phoenix plus able to turn on or off functions such as , Adas, cornering light, test clocks after turning the key, closing the windows from the remote control, traction?

[@mikea9521]

@Ghost-nd3km it has a ton of functions. I was capable of turning off the passenger occupancy sensor on 2012 BMW X6. I have done a lot with this scan tool, and it is amazing! I'm still learning a lot more with it. The Phoenix Max is the main one I work with daily. But the plus is amazing as well. We have the Snap-on Zeus and Autel. I gotta say this tool tops them all day long.

[@Ghosts_Wolfs]

@@mikea9521 thanks , better than autel or launch?autel mk906bt launch x431I read reviews on YT that Phoenix plus is a copy of Launch and the guy got rid of it, I do not know which device to choose.How does it deal with Asian cars?

[@renoleceesay7869]

I heard that after the two year free subscription, you lose access to coding (bidirectional feature). Can you confirm if this has happened?

[@mikea9521]

@renoleceesay7869 you do lose coding and programming, but if you renew your subscription you can continue to code and program. That is normal with just about all scan tools. I own 2 autels and 3 snap on scanners. Same with those as well. Keep up the subscription and your good to go.

[@emmanuelvelazquez9640]

Is this the same Tahoe ? Didn’t you do an e fan conversion ?

[@lsxmatt]

Yea still have them

[@nitrous07me]

Which “autel” from your work are you comparing this top don to? & as far as your weird electronical prob on the Tahoe I’d check them two skinny ground wires on the back of the engine on each side next to the valley cover they got 13mm bolts

[@lsxmatt]

It’s a Maxisys with commercial/heavy duty vehicle compatibility. We also have a light duty maxisys but it acts the same way. The heavy duty is a few years old and the light duty is pretty new.

[@stevenayala2324]

i have the phoenix lite 2 its good cause i needed to do a Throttlebody relearn plus i never had a bi directional scanner but sometimes it tripps out like the blue tooth dongle wont connect or just stop when your working then you got go and fix that part they should have at least made it to a cable was optional since the blue tooth craps out when it knows your deep in to diagnose wats wrong 🤣🤣🤣

[@lsxmatt]

I hope that doesn’t end up being a problem but I’ve had issues with other bluetooth dongles before.

[@Grulaz]

happy to see the Astra again

[@stevenayala2324]

hows the double battery set up doing wit your factory alternator if you don’t mind?

[@lsxmatt]

Doesn’t hold a charge as long as I’d like. I’m planning on swapping the second batt out for a deep cycle and adding an isolator to keep them separate when the ignition is off.

[@ryans6449]

So the brake upgrade does fit with the stock 17s

[@lsxmatt]

Yea it does

[@EmeraldWC]

probably the reason the rear air isn't working is because the actuator went out its just like the front ones either the motor gets weak or the plastic gears crack

[@LorenKadison]

And what about the pico scope

[@taylorstevens48]

The problem is in the cluster, send it to gauge werx the will fit it for good

[@frankwhite4908]

Hey love your channel I had a 08 GMC envoy i had a TPMS light on for ever I found on line have a air chuck near u leave car running and start removing air from tire once it gets low it will honk horn then u go to next one computer will see each tire

[@lsxmatt]

Thanks that works on the Tahoe but not the Astra.

[@frankwhite4908]

Ok I no that worked on my 08 GMC

[@kurtiss9431]

Tahiti is looking good!

[@LorenKadison]

There are still upgrades that are required for older vehicle Periodic revisions

[@solomonball]

I have an 03 Tahoe. It's saying that I have low oil pressure. Can switching to a heavier oil work?

[@lsxmatt]

I’ve never had luck with heavier oil when the pressure is low. Usually when the vehicle warms up and the oil thins out the pressure would drop again. Have you tried replacing the gauge sender? Sometimes they fail and read low.

[@solomonball]

@@lsxmatt Yes.... And it's still low. What do you recommend?

[@lsxmatt]

@@solomonball You can try the thicker oil but the ultimate fix would be a rebuild.

[@rogerkneeland4433]

I would start by confirming any low press concern by confirming with a good mechanical gauge .

[@dealerauctionnightmare4689]

Does this scanner do ODO calibration?

[@Ghosts_Wolfs]

milage correction?

[@ageedtahir3128]

I have the exact one. It’s good scanner but there’s a lot of steps start accessing the car. My Autel auto scan is way better for that aspect.

[@alexandrogiraud4737]

Is a ripoff if the bidirectional capacity stop working if you don't pay new subscription $500 +

[@christophercrowe6648]

Wish mine ran that good

[@GearsAxles]

This is a entry level basic scanner, it does everything for the DIYer but lack many things for a serious shop...

[@LarryD-z2m]

Nothing like a engine revving at the beginning of a video....

[@051570orion]

It's nice but still not in my price range , now if they wanna send me one for free " to review" that would be great 👍 . Lol good video Matt looking forward to TA videos and for a 04 Tahiti looks great

[@jennyloughry896]

Seems like a great tool
