5 Secret Tips to FIX ANY CAR

[@JK-zl7vv]

As a retired BMW Master Technician I told my sons, to be the best technician in the shop, they need to learn electrical properties, principles and systems, and you will be the most sought after technician in the shop, because I found during my tenure in a shop, that most technicians fall short on knowing the fundamentals on how electrical systems work, and how electronics works, so my sons have both become very very good at electrical sytstems, and both of them have become top employees in the business and their companies and have been able to basically name their price for their hourly pay, due to their high demand and knowledge as a technician. 😎👍

[@JacobLambeCarGuy]

One very important question is do you know JESUS CHRIST AS YOUR PERSONAL LORD AND SAVIOR?

[@ThunderbirdRocket]

Yes 👍🏼 . He is the Son of God . Through trusting in his merciful offer of a free gift … that is - of reconciliation / forgiveness / harmony with the God you can be set free from the wages of sin . He died for you so the penalty associated with breaking God’s laws (lying, stealing, lusting after someone, dishonouring your parents or thinking that you are some moral stalwart etc …) is paid in full by Him (His sinless life, loving sacrifice and substitutionary death burial and resurrection AND ascension to the right hand of the Father) = that free gift of salvation / redemption / made new with a special Christ thriving in you heart and mind and attitude towards God , others , yourself , truth and hope of heaven for eternity in instead of eternal death (separation from God as was selected by the rebel) in the torment of hell reserved for those who reject Jesus . It is a free will choice of one’s own volition . See John 3:16 particularly but for a full understanding in context read the whole book of John (to get started on the journey of discover / discernment / knowledge of the Christ Jesus - the one and only LORD and Sinless Saviour Sacrificed for the remission of sin .

[@BencerCourt123]

No, Jesus never claim himself as God. His close disciples never see him as God. It was a concept by Paul who never meet Jesus.

[@ThunderbirdRocket]

@@BencerCourt123 Bencer thanks for the opportunity to discuss with you . I can only hope that anyone who really wants to know what the writers of the Bible are intending to convey keep in mind that if they pray and ask Jesus the Christ to reveal not only the truth of the Scrptures but also the truth about the claims of the Son of Man (Jesus the only begotten Son of God) you can rest assured that is a prayer He will answer . After the revealing of the truth of the meaning of Scripture I would encourage everyone to pray and ask God the Father of “the Way - the Truth - and the Life” , to help his or her unbelief that Satan , sin and the influence of the unbelieving world wouldn’t interfere with the fulfillment of the free-will choosing to cry out for mercy and the removal of the wages of sin pending and totally surrender all of your life to Him as the tri-une Father-Son- & Holy Spirit desire for you and everyone in fact . Obviously the specific references / topics / titles / concepts that are presented here by me will require scrutiny and validity checks but it will certainly be a fruitful investigation when one applies the two suggestions given here ; namely, pray to Him to reveal Himself and then pray for deliverance from anything that would be interfering with “knowing Him intimately , personally , dynamically and prayerfully in your heart . I end with three magic questions of you : If you were to die today and stand before God and He asked you why should I let you into my heaven for eternity with me ? - What would be your response ? Next question: If God had certain terms for reconciliation - the harmonious eternal peace with Him and a place in His home (Heaven) would you be interested in finding out ? Third question: If you said no to question number 2 above - why not ? i.e. what is stopping you from receiving this free gift ?

[@catfishsnagger3284]

Wouldn't it be helpful for information sources like alldata or Mitchell to put examples of what live data should look like for different parameters? Why dont they do that

[@MechanicMindset]

It definitely would. Some do. But it will only give a range of operation (which isn’t always so helpful). It’s also important to know what happens to the value dynamically (ie when you rev it). Once you start looking, it will definitely start to make it easier 👍

For sure, both sides of the load will consume as little voltage as possible in a perfect world. Use a thicker wire, less voltage will be consumed, try it! 👍

[@sheerwillsurvival2064]

Would love to have an explanation of pull up pull down circuits and why are some called low side switched and high side switched and load side switched and switch side switched. It’s confusing I was technician in the 70s to early 80s and need some clarification and explanation. Please 👍🏻

[@nachmanlaufman5752]

A trigger to make a change in operation can be a low or high voltage as in 0 volts vs 14 volts. The load side is like the opposite of the battery side of the circuit. The switch side is just the far side of the wire not indicating whether it’s the live side of the switch or the load side of the switch

Hey Darren, got a question, I am bad at electrical diag. I was testing the egr valve on 2.0 tdi a4 b8 engine. With ignition on and engine off I was getting 12v on both + and - wires for pwm motor. Was suspecting ground wire was short to b+ but was able to find any damage on the wire (in that area around egr, wasn't testing any further). Is it normal to see both wires 12v on ignition on?

[@MechanicMindset]

If the motor isn’t being activated, yes that may be normal. We demo that same thing here. When the ground switch is open, we have 6v on both sides of the bulb. Activate. EGR and see what happens; scope might be best to see it if it’s PWM 👍

[@tnamen1307]

can you please explain.... Why why why??? Today's modern cars eg Toyota Glanza, Toyota Taisor, has 12V and then drops to 7V in the door close signal voltage. Whereas, it used to be directly 12V when door closed and 0V when opened in old cars. But today's cars has 12V at door closed, and after 20 seconds, it drops to constant 7V. When opening, it drops to 0V. Why there's delay in dropping to 7V at door closed?? What's the significance of this 12V to 7V??? Please explain 😊

[@colinreid7305]

You have an excellent method of teaching and as a result the information you relay is easy for most people to follow. It is possible for some people to become confused about the words earth and ground in relation to automotive electrics if they do not understand DC fundamentals. In automotive electrics one has a negative connection from the battery to the vehicle body/ chassis and the vehicle engine, and components are bonded to the body/ chassis and in some cases the engine is directly connect to the vehicle battery negative terminal. The words ground, and earth should in my view be changed to vehicle body chassis negative as the negative is a cable to complete the electrical circuit, if people refer to body/chassis negative rather than ground or earth it my well help them understand the vital part that the negative cables and connection points play in the circuit, this is particularly important when carrying out voltage drop testing, an issue that is more important in today’s electronic age. I should point out this is only my opinion as a qualified automotive electrician from the distant past.👍😀

[@MechanicMindset]

Thanks for watching! I suppose strictly speaking it’s a negative connect. ‘Chassis ground’ is another more common term. ‘Earth’ is probably technically incorrect, but widely used and accepted, as ground and earth are the same in household electrics. The difference there is AC household has a ‘neural’ which we never say in automotive. I probably say ‘ground’ the most. As anything in automotive, there are often 10 different names for the same thing 😆. Understanding fundamentals is important and suppose this should be made clear when learning. Thanks

The title should be "5 Tips that everyone already knows to start an electrical diagnosis." There are a zillion other things that could be wrong with a car that require zero electrical type diagnosis.

[@grantsutherland6798]

I'm amazed at how many "so-called" diagnostic technicians fly in blind. The latest example of which I saw on KZbin. It was a v8 4.2 R8 Audi with a flashing engine light. The first mistake was they didn't go back to basics and understand how the ECU senses certain stuff. But perhaps more importantly, the misfire they were looking for they missed the HT spark plug being one of the most common faults. The coil pack. The misfire in this case was most likely via a knock sensor... they missed all of that, thinking outside "the computer says this". I see it all the time. In this case the technician broke out the ECU security (by abrasive wheel cutting) before looking for the not so obvious (but the obvious to others). The most common faults are not faulty ECU's but sensors, coils etc that get heat damaged over time. Classic ones on Audi are water and oil temp sensors that affect the starting and running controls. Obviously if they read wildly different when cold then one or both are faulty

You are such an inspiration! 🙏 You should be proud of all the amazing work you do. It's easy to just instantly go to your OBD reader and start scanning but having this fundamental knowledge is so important. I have an Autel scanner for around $800 and it helps me so much but I have to admit that it has made me rather lazy and I don't think much about the theory even though I find it very interesting. I studied to become a mechanic about two years ago and I absolutely loved school! But after working as one for only about 8 months I decided that it wasn't for me, at least not yet. For me it was way more fun to learn and experiment and help fixing my friends cars, the moment I get a strict time-limit to solve a problem is the moment the fun stops. It also didn't help that most of the work I got were rather mundane services. (Which is to be expected, I know) Mechanic as a job didn't work out for me but I'm still very passionate about it as a hobby and enjoy helping my friends, your videos keep my mind sharp and one day I might further my education to become a Technician as I feel like that would bring me more joy as a job.

Perfect breakdown for the diagnosis. I have a question regarding electrical diagnosis. Took my Volvo to a few mechanics, all with another outcome. Draining of battery until about 10.33V even just quick stopping for gas, therefore always needing to boost. The computer showed up with pages of codes, though they are incorrect, as everything is properly functioning. Could it be the computer module that is malfunctioning with codes and battery drain, OR is the less than a year ago bought battery defective with a dead cell that causes these malfunctions? The dead cell could also explain why it does not drain to zero, rather 10.33V. My diagnosis has now fallen to this conclusion regarding my Volvo s80 2009. Thank you for any input or comment.

@@armo_mafioso Thanks! If there is no excessive current drain, then that would help support your case for the battery fault. Draining to 10.3V that quick, something is going to be working very hard. Even leaving the ignition on for 30 minutes wouldn’t do that 👍

@@MechanicMindset thanks for the advice. Going to reset ECM with pos and neg touching and see if any difference.

I had a vehicle with the same symptom. With everything turned off, normal resting current. Watched volt meter suddenly drop from 12.5 to 10.5 after just a few minutes after ignition turn off. Each cell in the battery contributes about 2 volts. Replaced the battery and no further problem. Bad cell in an otherwise good battery. Hope this helps.

11:55 - That is a beautiful training apparatus for teaching voltage drop analysis. Where can I get one for _my_ classes?

@@garypoplin4599 It’s great! I got this from Robot Shop, and it’s called Snap Circuits
