Toyota Tundra: Crank, No Start

In this video I have a look at a 2015 Toyota Tundra with the big 4.6 that was towed in as a crank, no start, no fuel pressure. This truck was victim of the parts cannon already so now we have to find the real issue.

I can’t imagine anyone criticizing you for anything. Some people must be just rude. I love your channel and watch everything you post. Thank you for being here.

[@hikerJohn]

He reads too many comments LOL Have you ever read any serious criticisms? I'm sure there are some but ive never seen any. And perhaps some are in jest.

[@bombardier3qtrlbpsi]

Some people 😅😅😅

@@hikerJohn yeah i agree. it is hard not to read comments, because a lot of the comments are really great and people are nice and its a fun place for community. But it seems like the people that just cause a big stink get the most attention and drain Eric O anyway (which I know for me is true on videos I have posted before just trying to help people). In one video he said like 95% of people that call him from online or youtube or are fans have ridiculous expectations or think he is super human. I just want to say that I hope HOPE that his mentality isn't that all his youtube viewers are annoying. There are plenty of us that would be down to drink a beer and hangout without it being weird. I feel bad that it has to go that way. I also think Eric O could start looking for news stations or other outlets that would want him as a commentator or like a "car talk" host for modern cars. Would be fun if someone paid him to just be on the phone and then they edited it down to like an hour long podcast.... something to think about!

and also the sane people don't think you are super human or a superhero-- we just like seeing how different people's brains work with their tools to figure out problems. Every single technician would go about this in a different way. It is fun to think whether or not you would've figured it out yourself and also how different the video would be if it was a @MarioDiagnostics or a @PineHollowAutoDiagnostics or @Grassratsgarage or @goTech or @Ericthecarguy or @ScannerDanner or any of the other great youtube teaching channels. And I think that is sort of what is cool about your videos you're still teaching but it isn't like here let me take you through steps a-z. It is more like a blend between a video directed specifically at DIYers who want to know how to do a job, and still fast-paced and interesting enough for real technicians to watch and follow. It has something for everyone. When it is making content for the good of others and for entertainment not just for how many clicks can we get and how much $$ can we make from this video-- that is why we all watch your videos. The content is still really real-- and you aren't just getting yourself into problems to make videos where there would be no money in it otherwise. Hope that all makes sense. I just like supporting people that have made such great content and really transformed the automotive space on KZbin (it evolved because of you) and I think everyone that has tried to be a part of that or to help someone else out deserves a piece of that pie. Anyone that has posted a video thinking hey this might help somebody, and they did it for that reason, we all deserve a pat on the back.

[@NicholasAndre1]

Don’t worry about the vernacular: as an electrical engineer, at the end of the day our goal is to figure out what the thing is supposed to do. The function can usually be distilled simply: a pin either goes to ground or to a higher voltage from ground. If it’s an NPN BJT, it turns on and pulls the circuit to ground when the middle pin voltage increases and we can distill the problem to power, ground, control, or component fault. Complexity is the root of all evil, make things simple :)

[@LordOfSilense]

The reason it gets left is because rodent and animal damage is normally something that insurance will cover, but the insurance agents will only accept the claim if they can physically see the nest/ animal present when they come over to visually inspect the vehicle. So shop policy is to leave the nest in place until the adjuster okays for repairs, or after (other) repairs are made. It's silly but it makes sense, dang adjusters don't believe pictures and videos.

That's not a relay, Eric; it's a Fuel Elf! ;) Awesome find, and good catch on the connector latch! Never underestimate the power of dirt. I had a Yukon about a month ago, where one muddy park sensor connector was bringing down the whole bus. Laundry list of codes across multiple modules, took quite a while to pinpoint the problem. Cleaned the connector and the sensor, plugged it back in, and voila! Worked great! Moved the vehicle to the parking lot, and it failed again. The same dirt that had shorted the LIN bus, also spread the pin juuust enough to create an intermittent fault.

Our only previous experience with the dealer was when they threw their hands up and stated "we have absolutely no idea what is wrong" about intermittent failure to close on our 2005 Yukon; finally after a fight they refunded our money for the non-repair, had made it clear in advance that I'd pay for a repair but not for a guess, and they agreed.

You’re the best Eric , best descriptive and best diagnostic mechanic on the tube, like yourself when the old peepers begin to go it’s a pain because we’ve never had to wear them we set them down and can’t find them again, my solution I’ve got a pair in every room in the house, a pair in my pocket, a pair in the car , a pair in my jacket, you get the point I’m sure , great post Eric

We truly appreciate all you teach us&show us Eric thank you.

Good job. That's how you diagnose it. It's really surprising how many "mechanics" don't/can't do this.. Either they are too lazy or are not mechanically inclined..

[@dukebbfan08]

My new favorite channel. My goal for this year is to put my "parts cannon" away and put on my thinking cap. Keep up the good work. You are a great mechanic!

Always the greatest of respect for Mr. O's professionalism.

I really enjoy watching you work - always very thorough! I have always wondered how folks receive information on what's currently wrong with their vehicle is likely something caused my someone else, or perhaps their lack of attention to detail (messing up a connector with their "technique", etc.) - though in a case like this, everyone's probably happy with a no-parts-required repair - just an hour or two of labor!

Have you ever considered moving southeast about 4 hours? You are a true asset to your community. Highly skilled troubleshooting and master repair man, you are for sure. Thanks for sharing the video. Older = lots more knowledge and experience. Best wishes and many more years of prosperous service to ya Mr O.

Love and respect from Robinson Tx. You are a rock star

I see damage weekly almost caused by shops trying to fix someone's car. .This is another example. But that's 2023 for ya. Thanks Eric for setting a good example of trouble shooting. Appreciate you cuz

I wish I could give you more than one thumbs-up for this video. 👍👍👍👍👍 Thanks for the quick tour around your town. 😃

The looseness in the connector pins comes from a prior tech forcing his test leads from his DMM into the sockets. See this all the time when a vehicle comes from another shop. Great video Eric! Thanks for sharing!

[@Coyote5555]

I'm gonna drop a comment just saying Respect on the hard work, and making a helpful video even when it is hard to talk. Respect Mr. O.

[@josecondemarin9586]

Eric, thank you for the video. You are a wizz... of troubleshooting electrical problems. Love the channel. Take care, thanks 😊

[@thomaswarnecke3991]

I have found that when you’re the second or third or fourth tech to check out an intermittent problem you may have to repair faults that were created by the previous techs; beside the original concern!😮

[@Kendog4585]

Simple, meticulous, and straightforward diagnosis. Fantastic job! I'm looking forward to more videos!

[@dpdeere]

I’m with you,Eric. I’m not getting older, I am old, and can verify for you without a meter or a scan tool that getting old sucks big time. Love your videos when I can stay awake long enough to watch them.

Hard to believe multiple shops wouldn't remove whatever nest that is sitting on the engine, unless it happened while sitting waiting to be fixed somewhere.
