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. 😎👍

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
@MechanicMindset 7 ай бұрын
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

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. Whatever may happen, respect ✊

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.

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.

In a perfect world, the load will use all available voltage and the ground side will be zero.

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! 👍

Hello sir . Great video as always Mr Daren . Question for you. I’m not a mechanic but I have a lot of knowledge on a vehicle from 80 to 08 year. However the newer require osiloscope. Wich is the less expensive that you will recommend. I’m not working on the car industry so it har for me to take 4,5 k out my painter check you know. I like to learn without expensive costs cuz obviously it will not pay by it self on my personal end . I’m a painter though

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
@MechanicMindset 6 ай бұрын
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 👍

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 😊

Hi Darren. At 4"25' the DVM read 6v at the bulb when the reference point was the positive terminal and the switch was off. Was that a - 6v meaning a 0 reading?? Im confused.
@MechanicMindset
@MechanicMindset 7 ай бұрын
This is because across an ‘open’ switch, one side will be 6v and the other side will be 0v - volt meter shows the difference between the measuring points 👍 With the switch ‘closed’ we will have 6v on both sides, now the difference will be 0v
