Testing CAM-CRANK Sensor Relationship on a Picoscope

[@AD-T]

Thanks Danner if it were not for your videos and your e book I would of been stuck at my same job making flat rate at Rush truck centers .Now I’m a shop foreman at a oilfield company making great money and being able to give my family the things they need and seeing my daughter so happy with our new life . Your wisdom and teachings did so much for me and I hope you continue to do the same for others.

Thanks so much. I'm trying to get my ASE a6, took the practice exam and I got a 75%, so I'm appreciating this a lot.

[@skonyc3164]

Last week I received the uActivate Circuit Test and the uTest Advanced Terminal Test Kit from aeswave. Thanks to you SD. Dolores Martenez helped me place my order. She is a very nice person. If you call in to order ask for her she is very helpful and knowledgeable. My goal is to one day become a great diagnostician as you are SD. It's because of your videos I'm making this into a business soon. There's a lot to learn but with a great teacher as youself, it aims me in the right direction. So just want to say Thank You. And yes I'm a premium member of SD and plan on being one for as long as you make videos. GOD BLESS

[@ScannerDanner]

Sweet! Good choice on the equipment and who you bought it from. AESwave deserves our support.

What's better, cranking waveforms or idle waveforms to submit to libraries?

[@hakonkarlsen9571]

Hey Paul. Just wanted to thank you for all your videos. You have taught me so much, you dont even know. Many thanks from Norway!

[@rodx5571]

Oh look at scanner Danner the King of France with his fancy Pico Scope! Just Joking, I enjoy these vids. You have made me a better tech. Been watching for years now. I dont have a Pico, but i do have a Vantage Pro and some other weird tools which does what i need it to.

[@JahanZeb1976]

That's all an excellent video. The worst part is the pico. So expensive! Beyond the reach of an average experimenter. Anyhow great work.

[@mobilemechmantim773]

LearningZone I know it seems that way, but if you get it from a reputable company with excellent support, and you put in the extra time it takes to master it, you will make that money back many, many times over. Heck, I'd get it for the frustration it will save you on those difficult jobs alone!

[@billforsythe2531]

[@scientist100]

I jeep hesring pico here, pico there to the point where I want to buy a pico instead of a vantage pro. I currently have a cheap hantek 1008c that I haven't used in diagnosis yet. Not familiar but I get the idea of these videos.

[@ScannerDanner]

This is a follow up to this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/qaKTeX-Ies6hhLc (faulty fuel pump on a Hyundai Santa Fe). I had a friend who needed the cam and crank waveforms on this engine, so I decided to show you guys how I do this type of thing as well. If your interested in any of the tools I use, I have two different pages, one on my website www.scannerdanner.com/tools.html and one on Amazon www.amazon.com/shop/scannerdanner

[@powerstrokeoverland9914]

I don't see the $3k pico 4425 on your amazon

[@ScannerDanner]

Because Amazon doesn't sell it. It is on my tools page of my website and is sold by AESwave. If you use the link on my tools page AES gives me credit for the sale, so it is a win, win for everyone. You pay the same either way.

[@billk5727]

ScannerDanner.....Good to know! Bill

[@tocsa120ls]

What I find great with Pico is their waveform library (only works with their automotive scopes) but you could upload that trace you captured into it for everybody to use. Saved a couple of head-scratching problems for me. Out-of sync is so hard to detect without a known good waveform. (Or when some idiot switches the two cams' sensors, even though one wire was so taut you could play it as a guitar...)

[@rogerpatrick3642]

Thanks for putting that crank cam correlation up on the website trying to get better and better with that getting too many engine misfires with this valve timing now

[@spelunkerd]

Thanks for taking time to do this. A better way to share a file with a friend would be to send it to the free PICO library. Then all of us get to search for and see it, whenever we want it, for free, with no subscription fees. As you know Pico offer the free software to view and magnify those files, and it will be stored for everybody to search for and see, rather than just your personal friend as a one-time favor. You can go back and retrieve it, too, next year when another of the same vehicles comes in. I know that professional techs pay for Identifix, and other companies want to get into the game of selling and restricting access to critical information like this. For those of us who can't afford to pay a subscription fee for occasional access, Pico have done us a favor and we should take advantage of it and contribute to it. I know it takes a little effort to type in the fields, but we all have to remember that those fields will be necessary for those who want to search for and use the info later.

[@claudiollocclla2997]

hey ScannerDanner thank you so much , for you i have learned so much, even when i do not understand 100% you said in your videos, ( soy peruano, i am peruvian) i will be very happy when understand you totally. you are MY MASTER. i am sorry by english. greetings from peru.

[@spin1275gt]

Scannerdanner maybe I missed it in this video. But when you make a crank cam correlation measurement with a scope and the engine has variable camshaft timing. You have to make sure you unplug the solenoids or else you will see a different timing of the engine. Because of the adjusment of the camshaft timing.

[@SmittySmithsonite]

Well, I know where I'm going for Pico instruction when the day finally arrives that I own one. EXCELLENT tutorial! Loved the outtake at the end. "Who's your daddy?" to your son! 😂 That was great. 😊

[@ScannerDanner]

Thanks Smitty!

[@scientist100]

Dont worry, you can download the automotive version of the pico, go to the root installation directory and delete or rename oem.dll, there are other files that you can move from the standard software but I found that they are not needed. The pico database wont work as that works online but you get the automotive guide that Danner shows here.

[@scientist100]

I mean to say that you dont need to own the 4k variants of the pico. My myself invested on a 4 channel of the 2k variants. I paid 600 bucks for it and works great. Just get an attenuator for high voltage spikes from injectors and coils but you can always use an amp clamp

[@ozzstars_cars]

My Danner. I remember my dad putting blue on bearings when i was a kid. I still have cuts on my hands sometimes, and have learned to be a technician. I have an image to connect to the name Kalib, Best wishes to your family, and those guys on the .outtakes.

[@hapanalysis3204]

Thanks, its yet another helping video. your testing methods are relatively phasing out the old school way of fixing vehicles by throwing parts in the car.

[@Tulizalilly3780]

Love what your doing Paul your an inspiration to me and many others!! I did notice you left the coupling on dc voltage on the cranks instead of AC. Don’t know if you noticed. Keep the videos coming!!

[@ScannerDanner]

I prefer DC because I like to see the bias line (constant DC) riding underneath the sign wave (if it uses one). It really helps when troubleshooting opens or shorts in the signal circuits. If it's in AC coupled mode, this will block that DC bias

[@Tulizalilly3780]

ScannerDanner that’s a fair comment and something I hadn’t thought of!! Thanks for the advice!

[@greg6925]

[@xXBurntBaconXx]

SO I'm also doing an electrical diagnostic course revolving around the Snap-On Zeus. My teacher showed us this as well. But one other thing he showed us was how we can actually calculate if the timing chain jumped forward or backwards by getting pictures of the cam gear and reluctor wheel and doing the math by counting . I can't find it in my notes however and can't contact my teacher due to COVID, I was wondering if you had a video on this?

[@abesdsm6869]

Great video! I have a question, when you’re scoping known good cam/crank waveforms like in this car, is it a good idea to disconnect the cam solenoid valves on vehicles equipped with them? I’ve heard people say no need for that and some say it will give you bad waveforms if not disconnected.

[@ScannerDanner]

I've never done that

[@abesdsm6869]

hi from Egypt i see you have 4 channels one for the crank signals and one for the cam signals i wonder why four ? i keep learning from you and i remember your words that someday we will understand and apperciate all what your doing for us here because i already do

[@steveguest8028]

Hi Paul great video and very informative,just one question....I find the crank sensor easy to understand where the missing tooth corresponds to TDC but why does the Hall effect signal off the cam sensor have so many pulses ? I would have thought that to find the position of the camshaft only one pulse(as with the crank sensor)was needed....Many Thanks 👍🏻

[@joseglory6546]

Danner would you still scope sensors with voltage even though the pcm has no voltage

[@guillermoacevedo7826]

I just want you to ask if you know how to acquire a data base. or maybe a personal list or how to make with Oscilloscope a Synchronized CKP+CMP signal.

Why there ist crank high and crank low ? Thank is a bit confusing to mee...do I have to relearn how an inductive crankshaft sensor work's 🤔

[@marktirabassi7873]

Hi dan. Question, how do you know before u start, what kind of crank sensor do you have?

[@JOHNPHUFNAGEL]

the wiring diagram shows how many wires the sensor has

[@JOHNPHUFNAGEL]

Lol i guess i should have mentioned that to

[@Diagnosedan]

By looking at a wiring diagram😉, most of the time hall-effect sensors have 3 wires. But be carefull there are 2 wire hall effect sensors😁

[@ScannerDanner]

@DiagnoseDan I would make one correction in your statement. The digital two wire sensors are technically not "hall effects" :-) Just picking on your term as I've used it myself and may even have it written as such in my book :-(

[@jamesrossmotors]

Just hook up your scope and look at the pattern. Some vrs sensors have more than 2 wires.

[@driven0001]

Can someone explain why the inductive sensor is showing up correctly even though the Chanel is set to DC? Another great video Mr. Danner.

[@ScannerDanner]

A labscope set to DC couple will show both AC and DC signals. If you AC couple a scope it will block all DC and only show AC. Mine was DC coupled.

[@driven0001]

ScannerDanner well like always, learned something new! Thanks again!

[@scientist100]

I wish all picos would upload to the database. I will start uploading to my drive and hopefully share with the world ny good known wave forms. My brother in law owns a dealership so I will start there :)

This is the 4425 automotive 4 channel kit. It's been replaced by the 4425a (which I now have) Thank you!

[@miltonscornertobylove5068]

Could you have use the verus to do that kind demonstration as well?

[@ScannerDanner]

yes but the pico allows for better zooming capabilities on frozen waveforms, which was important to my friend

[@eriginez5171]

Mr danner ..what is ckp low and ckp high...also how to know if its a hall effect ..just trying to learn...thanks in advance

[@hugos31]

it can be recorded. signal of steering wheel and cam signal. and then simulate ?

[@jmac2050]

can you do a A-Z scope setup and when do you need to use attenuators?

[@vitaminb4869]

You use them when input voltages are higher than 200V on this Pico. So things like primary ignition and injectors would call for an attenuator to be safe.

[@JOHNPHUFNAGEL]

Paul, I am new to sending pico captures to web. Is this method your showing the standard and approved way of people wanting to see cam/crank relationship waveforms off sites like picoauto? Or there is no "standard" way people want to see these waveforms? Thank you sir..... Murle

[@ScannerDanner]

when you share a waveform, you want to include both detail and repetition and as much information as possible (year, make, model, engine, VIN number of the engine, known good, known bad etc.

[@murlecampbell8360]

@@ScannerDanner Thank you!

[@Dragracer187]

Why are you using DC setting in pico for a VR crank sensor? should the setting not be AC?

[@ScannerDanner]

DC Couple allows both AC and DC signals AC couple blocks all DC and only shows AC. VR sensors have a DC bias that I like to look at along with the AC signal

Hey I don’t know if you remember me With my 91 Pontiac Firebird no crank vats problem you where trying to help me with Last night I was trying to figure it out and what I found out was that I had no power to the crank fuse totally dead that got me thinking why??? So after some research and purchasing a owners manual I found that there r some fusable links but in the progress of locating them I found a connector at the firewall and chased the PPL wire fuse 3 amp And red and orange wires that go there I opened the cover and it was alll coroded and partly burned wires lol is that why they can burn of corrosion’s??? Plus when I try to charge up batt it sparks on the Negative terminal still didn’t clean the mess up kinda stupid spot to get to you think it will fix my problem???

[@trevorbailey3752]

I've got a 99 chevy 1500 with the 5.3 I've been having surging problems and it comes up as a maf code. I've changed the maf twice and have the same problem under acceleration and was wondering if you would have any idea what that could be. I've had the problem for almost two months since I bought the truck. I was told it could possibly be the small locking clip on the connector or it could be a ground how would I be able to test for a ground problem. Thanks in advance.

[@pauldanenberg7746]

Trevor Bailey check the intake gaskets. Often on those when you have a vacuum leak large enough it will set a maf sensor performance code. Itd be helpful to know what the code is exactly. And if you have access to a scan tool see what the calculated vs measured airflow is. Thats basically what your MAP and MAF sensor read, and if there is a difference between the two at idle. Also you can check the IAC counts at idle and see if it is at or near zero, that is another sign of a vacuum leak.

[@rafaelgarcia-xk7eu]

Hi Paul, I just got my ass kicked by a 2000 Camaro 3.8 V6. Just wondering if you would have done what I did. Came in on limp mode. Can’t remember the code number but it said no crank 18(reference)signal. I checked crank signals 18 and 3 and cam signal by piercing at the icm. All good. The 18 signal to ecm however was missing. Seemed simple, needs the icm. Replaced icm and same problem. Rechecked and found signal 18 to ecm ok at icm. Ok so bad computer too. Replaced ecm. Same problem. Long story short, there was an internal brake in three of the wires close to icm. One 18 signal, one ecm to icm signal, and one 5 volt bypass. The way I finally figured this out was by using the t pin instead of piercing. The reason I didn’t see the signal the first time was because I pierced after the break. And the second time I pierced before the break, thus replacing ecm.

[@ScannerDanner]

Wow man! Great job in sticking with it and finding the root cause. This is where pull up and pull down circuitry is key and the engineers don't give it to us.

[@jollivermediana1097]

Sir, may l ask. 1.) Do you have a comparison between a Hall Effect Sensor and Non-hall effect? 2.) Do you have an actaul testing between a digital and analog signal of a hall effect sensor? Pls give me the link Sir if there is. Thank you. I appreciate your videos and learned a lot as well.
