The original videos from this one were from 2011. I am teaching to a class of 20 students and I was still a rookie with the camera, so sorry for shouting at times in the video. I am projecting my voice to the class and not realizing how loud I am to the camera. This is still a great video for those who want to know how to test a hall effect type cam or crank sensor and they do not have a scope.

yes i get it! Thanks again Paul! you can see a lower frequency signal on a voltmeter but not a high frequency signal, this is why the scope is better for diagnostics because the voltmeter is averaging readings..

Thanks Paul - Great reminder, DMM at times will read 2.5 Vic on a signal who's frequency is below a certain sample limit. For instance on a Wheel Speed Sensor you may be able to Spin the wheel by hand at a low enough speed and the VMM will read 0.5 Vdc on a 5 V pull down Hall Effect sensor. As always thanks for your great teaching methods on your videos, "Scannerdanner There is NO Substitute !!"

Very nice video Danner. I liked how you are breaking videos down to segments for us to learn. I really liked how it's was straight and to the point on how to test hall effect sensors. In addition, I liked how you showed us with a volt meter and compared it to a lab scope. Not all of us diy guys have snap on graphing. I always like it when it is explained on which meter leads are connected to which terminal on the battery and what the dvom is set at when doing electrical testing in video during testing of each wire. Because if it's not explained, I can watch a video and not understand exactly how it was done if there person explaining doesn't explain which terminal on battery he connected to and what his dvom was set at while testing the electrical component. Might I say though, I love all of your videos. Thank you.

Please help! Firstly, your videos and knowledge are great! I have a problem with my wife's 04 Buick Lesabre. 3800 series II engine. When I read the voltage in the two signal wires of the CKP sensor it shows wierd stuff.. Unplugged its 6.2V each. With a new ICM its 4.95V each. Problem is when plugged in to ANY ICM: drops to 1.77V and 0.77V and STAYS there no matter what. I tried 4 different sensors. Acdelco, gm geniuine. One of them would drop to 5.5V and 4.5V. But none will recognize the metal teeth of the harmonic balancer. When tested outside, but plugged in its still the same. Its getting power, i checked every wire for damage, but im not sure about grounding because i checked that with key off for resistance. Between sensor ground to ICM ground (g112) there was 1.5- 3 ohms resistance. Is that too much? Whats going on? Car ran the last time when i changed the CKP sensor. It ran for 2 mins then died and never started. Please help

I never actually understood why my meter wasn't "fast enough" to measure a crank sensor, I just know it isn't. Funny thing is, I've scoped them, but never put 2 & 2 together for the time window of high point voltage verse low point voltage as to why my meter isn't fast enough. But when you explain it, it makes perfect sense. Also, in theory with a meter, you should be able to do KOEO and bar the engine over and be able to observe the high and low points no? (As opposed to the bumping demonstration you did with the key)
@ScannerDanner
@ScannerDanner 3 жыл бұрын
That is correct, only reason I do not suggest that is with the key on, you may get a kick from the engine while rotating it by hand, leading to injury. Unlikely, but that is why I do not suggest it.

For whatever reason my dmm showed both sensor powers and grounds good and then my scanner was showing a good ckp signal and a bad cmp signal. The funny thing is, upon removing the ckp sensor, it was swollen and cracked from oil intrusion from the vc gasket. Installed a new one and it fired right up, yet still shows a bad ckp signal and says out of sync. Silly mopars.

Hey scannerdanner! Thanks again for all your videos, it’s a ocean full of knowledge! I think I’m ready to buy my scope, i need one to further my diagnosis skills. I registered for my advanced diagnosis class hopefully in the fall, I know you’ve talked about the uscope, I’m on a budget being 20 and paying for college but I received my tax return, I’m stuck between a uscope or a two channel pico. The u scope master kit comes with double the tools for half the price of the two channel pico but having the ability to set markers and zoom in, have a bigger screen, being able to save to my computer I like the pico a lot but I’m getting almost no accessories with the beginner kit. I am a beginner to scopes besides using a verus for fuel pumps and abs sensors. You think spending the extra money on the pico will be better for me in the long run or should I start of smaller with something more user friendly like the UScope?

@@ScannerDanner interesting. I had a case of a bad cam sensor. Code was cam pos sensor open circuit or short to B+. This was in an 05 vw passat 2.8. I checked power and grounds to the sensor. Both present. 5v reference as a power and computer provided ground. However, the signal wire was constantly pegged at 11V. I measured with a fluke dvm. With or without the sensor plugged. The computer was putting out 11V on the signal line, which was ONLY detectable with a dvm. I measured at the sensor side. I measured at the computer. Every time - 11V. I thought the computer was shorted internally. Til I took my led light with integrated volt meter. And it wouldn't measure any voltage. I took a regular old incandesent light and it wouldn't light up at all. But my fluke measured 11V every time. That completely threw me off. So I decided to put a new sensor at that point and the code went away. I don't understand what kind of design this was... could you enlighten me please? Thanks Danner.

I've got some symptoms and some codes, I'm thinking it's bad o2 sensors, I would love to know if you think I'm on the right track? I'm a bit of a rookie mechanic. I'm a delivery driver trying to keep my car on the road so I can keep working. My car is a 2009 Pontiac G5 with the 2.2 ecotec, naturally aspirated, 5 spd with 104k km's on the it. It runs flawlessly up until this new glitch, New spark plugs, air and fuel filter since I bought it. I did notice it was starting to get slightly worse gas mileage before it started messing up. The first time it happened I was at a rolling start slowly accelerating when all of a sudden it started stuttering really bad and tried to stall, I pushed the clutch in and dropped it down a gear and it seemed to sort itself out (no codes popped up yet) then about 20 mins it did it again so I parked it, I tried unplugging the battery to let it reset and tried to drive it again the next night, again as soon as it got warm it started doing it again and finally threw up the engine light. (I did not have a code reader at the time) At first I thought fuel pump, but fuel pressure is at 60psi while running and holds a solid 50psi for sometime after the engine is turned off (so I'm assuming it is good) I bought a code reader yesterday and it gave a EVA and o2s symbol with codes P0336 crankshaft sensor, and P0102-001, P0113-00. from my research I'm seeing that o2 sensors should be changed around 100k km's and a couple online friends said they should be my issue... But I can't afford to be wrong and waste money right now.

I have replaced all sensors, timing chain and cam phasers. Double checked the timing chain it’s correct. Sometimes the 2.4 ecotec will start and it runs great. When I turn it off it won’t start. I’m thinking if the reluctor ring has moved on the crankshaft I would get a p0016 and p0117. Any thought and how much is a house

I've heard some of the Euro cars use a 3v reference. But I've not seen that

@@ScannerDanner ah, there you go, then. Gotta love German engineering! I saw the video on which you were complaining about that Jetta with the Evap valve and the poor design of the sequential testing. You should see how VCDS works one day (unless you already have) that's about the worst interface design ever.

Could you turn the engine over by hand and check the signals with a Voltmeter?
@ScannerDanner
@ScannerDanner 3 жыл бұрын
you can, but there is a slight chance of the engine kicking on you with the key on and that may break a hand or arm if it does. I don't recommend that. Bump the starter instead

Mr. @ScannerDanner, you mentioned slowing the crank down to test for signal but did not mention one can manually turn the crank while checking the signal. I found in my Acadia (pull-down system) with P0335, I only saw 0V at signal while manually turning the crank. I then found the connector had signal and ground wires exposed and shorted to each other. I trust the ECU and sensor are still intact. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ "KEEP CRANKING KEEP CRANKING" 🙂

I bought a Verus. Tried to read a crank signal on a Mitsubishi Endeavor V6 the other day by connecting it to signal and ground on the sensor. It read a solid 12v during cranking. The car WILL start intermittently and run. I was using the information provided by Mitchell on the Guided Component Test settings with the scope. So confused.

Connect your ground lead to battery ground and then measure each wire individually and redo your tests

Thanks Paul, as always - well done. Kind of odd, the Cam sensor looked like a 5 volt peak square wave form at about 50 % duty cycle, should have read ~ 2.5V dc on the voltmeter ? Once again thanks.

frequency is what you are not considering. That DMM will sample about 4 times per second, maybe less. If the frequency is real slow, the meter will start to show the highs and lows

Shout away, brother! Maybe it will all sink in for me faster if I turn my volume up higher. 😁 Then to make sure everyone watches, you could say at the end of your intro, "Enjoy this video ... OR I'LL KICK YOUR ASS!" No need to thank me for the video tips - it's the least I can do. 😂🤣😂 Just playin' man! GREAT "Quick Tips" series you've been doing. I think these are going to do extremely well for you. Great thinking as usual, brother! 👍🍻 Glad you guys are doing well through all this insanity in the world lately.
