In this video I have a look at a ladies 2006 Chevy 2500HD with the Big 6.0 in it and she has an issue with extended crank. She had it at another shop and they threw a few parts at but none of them stuck. Now it's my turn to see what the heck is going on.

I worked in the technical departments of two car manufacturers as a troubleshooter diagnostic tech and I can tell everybody watching here that this guy has great process to find faults! Firstly, he takes great care to look up CORRECT information for the exact model, and then takes time to understand how the system works and what the “fail” parameters are. These are the fundamentals that everyone should use. Also, using good equipment relevant to the component and possible issues as well as his EYES……… Fantastic, informative stuff, I commend him.

If the sensor is mounted vertically from the top or the rust jacking is so extraordonary or in such a position relative to old plastic as to make rust removal awkward; can positive air pressure be applied or would a carefully applied wad be the go to to avoid engine ingestion of larger rust flakes? There a point where the tech must risk the plastic to gain access? Hard to gauge on an old rusty car I suppose.

For sure. Lots of other folks, and shops would have thrown another new cam sensor at it. Likely a more expensive GM sensor, and the problem would have remained. If the sensor was in the front, most would have picked up on the rust jacking, but back there, you were going on experience looking for that. It was a great fix.

I ran into a similar problem with a 2005 Chevrolet 5.3. It had an extended crank however if you immediately stopped cranking and cranked again it would start on the second attempt. Apparently it would flip-flop 180° as a default in the PCM based on a bad cam signal. The cam sensor was new aftermarket then replaced with a new OEM same problem however no rust jacking. Several months of research as a backyard mechanic gave me no results. I came across an old obscure Chevy forum post where someone spoke about this problem specifically it was the only reference to this problem I could find anywhere on the Google tubes. As it turns out sometime after 2006 when GM’s switched past the GMT 800 series GM redesigned the cam sensor and the aftermarket followed suit. The redesign of the cam sensor works in the later models post GMT 800 Lt style engines however they have issues when used in the older vehicles. I sourced an old OE cam sensor from a junkyard problem solved. GM tried to consolidate their parts line and the aftermarket followed and now good cam sensors are not available for the early models. U pull it for the win. I did a video on it explaining in detail on my KZbin channel axles garage.

The ECM senses current flow through the 12v power wire to the cam sensor in order to inhibit the fuel pump relay. The test light was mimicking a load so it turned on the fuel pump. This is why the cam sensor is powered from the computer. Its a fuel pump safety item. DOT requires all vehicles to shut down the fuel pump when the engine is not running regardless of ignition key position.

I've been watching your videos for years. Probably 10+ years. I've built my career in heavy equipment. I have learned and continue to learn many of my diagnostic procedures from you. I watch every video no matter what because of how well you explain your diag procedure. Doesn't matter what you're working on, proper diag is proper diag.

Eric, it's great to watch you process the problem, always "thinking" about what is going on. Finalizing the process with a scope was icing on the cake! 🍰🎂 Appreciate the fact you don't want to touch anything else. I wonder how you expressed that to your customer? Chevy THUNDER still sounds good. Thanks for Sharing! 🙃🙂

Oh Contraire! This was a GREAT video. Shows that not all solutions to signal problems are green crusties or butt splices. You gotta use yer eyes and brains too!

I had exactly the same issue years ago with something else. The rust had expanded the area around a light which kept it from sitting properly thus not working. It's a lot different than your case but with a similar cause. I got so frustrated I tossed my screw driver at the light socket. It popped off the rust, allowing the bulb to sit back properly and work. I fixed the issue without knowing what the issue was until then. This was on a early 1960s panel van conversion I had in 1976-77. It was a slug, but we had fun partying in it during my Senior year.

You have shown several video's that included rust jacking on wheel speed sensors and over the years you have convinced me that you know rust! But, I find it amazing that the engine block rusted enough to jack that sensor out! Crazy.

Clever diagnostic strategy, Eric! Good catch of the sensor's bent tab as the cause of no signal. No parts required, only brainpower 🙂

Brain power indeed..Had the first fella taken a good look at the removed part he shoulda noticed bent tab as well. It's called visual inspection in the trade. My mentor drilled this into me and thankfully so. Study things carefully as you take em' apart. Most of the time there's an Ah-Ha moment.. Cheers

From what you said about not replacing a cam sensor on those before, the OEM original was probably good, just rust jacked.

It really never ceases to amaze me that these other shops can’t figure out such a simple system. I’m looking at this at six minutes in and I’ve already figured you probably have a crappy cam sensor which needs to get replaced and most likely the cranks answer circuit would be the culprit

So I watched the end and ended up being the camp sensor circuit, but for me this was simple since I went to the GM training center back in the 80s as I was a full-time mechanic for me. This was a no-brainer as the symptoms led me to believe it was in, a Hall effect switch

Eric, at about 21:30, you said you had to "give this engine a hug". loved it, been there! I don"t think the video was "dumb or stupid". Its what happens in the real world. I've seen rust jacking on wheel speed sensor mounts. The rust raises them up. I replaced both front knuckles on a chevy truck once for low speed involuntary abs activation. Both were just a hunk of rust. We could not see much, but, the explanation of the process you were going through was spot on! So from me, excellent video.
