Crazy Cluster Toyota Camry - Part II

[@TreyCook21]

I can't believe the module caused all the paint to slide off the front of the car! Bonkers!

I would never have thought the ABS module would have caused these symptoms. But that’s why I am watching these videos instead of making them. Thanks, Eric!

[@tjroelsma]

It makes sense: one module that sends out crazy data on the databus can and often will disturb communication with other modules and therefore cause the ECU to report all kinds of errors.

[@donmunro144]

I had an f150 that wouldn't run because the abs module was bad. Had an awful time diagnosing that one.

[@rickscott7350]

When it comes to network communication, anything is possible. I had a radio control panel take down a whole buss on a 777 aircraft. It was supposed to be a recieve only from the Main computer to the Auto pilot, radios, radar etc. But we had a Control panel that had an error in it and it was feeding a signal back on the buss. Took me and 3 other techs the better part of 12 hours to find it.

[@Zach-k2p]

It makes alot of sense. But it’s only that way cause I been turning wrenches for 23 years. Think of it as your body. If your toe is broke your whole body is affect. Same with cars with modules and computers

SMA one of the best automotive repair channels out there hands down.

[@amatod4]

Definitely my favorite too!!!

[@Echo024]

I got my start in automotive by watching SMA several years ago. Just the other week I diagnosed and repaired one of these with this exact same issue - really cool to see this repair come full circle!

Good post sir. Fellow retiree here and I agree, Eric O. is an absolute artist with the gas ax.

Impressed that a 17 year old Camry keeps running in the Rust Belt. They were exceptional cars!

21 year old Corolla still running in the Rust Belt here.

Mine will be 18 in 2 weeks in the rust belt. Every time I get under it I break out the rattle can paint and Fluid Film.

Another amazing feat of mechanical magic! You get more done by accident than most people get done on purpose. Nicely done once again.

[@anthonycox9470]

Did this very thing on my BILs 06 Cobalt in a parking lot of a McDonalds this past summer because a field ABS module took down the CANBUS and caused a no start no crank. I was channeling every once of Eric O in that parking lot that night haha

Great job Eric. Now that Toyota will go for another 300k miles. 👍🏾

[@kentscoffey]

Was driving a Mercury Cougar rental when I hit black ice while driving in Yosemite. The rear end cut loose and I'll be damned if that car didn't take control of itself and straitened itself up. Heart palps because the oncoming traffic was a hell of a lot bigger than me.

[@harveypaxton1232]

On a lot of Ford F series (early 2000s), I have just gone through the PC board and touched up the solder joints. Most of the time it is where the coil connects to the PC board.

Best in the bidness! Thanks Eric, I would've been lost.

[@davidbeachel]

Great job Eric.

[@NaterTaterOutdoors]

I did one of these on my 2001 S10 back in the day. I was fighting that light for a good five years and come to find out now I just took my ABS module off and sent it to a repair service off of eBay and I got it back four days later. Just bolted it back on and no more ABS light. If I would’ve known it, been that easy back then I would have sent it off earlier. It’s just some cracked solders that need a quick touch up where the power comes in the box.

[@robertsmith2956]

I cut the wires to the wheel sensors so they can't be connected again by some do good'er.. they fail to working brakes which is what I want in a car.

[@LAactor]

Back then how much was the reflow job?

[@NaterTaterOutdoors]

@ it was $75 plus shipping. Not a bad deal at all. Wish I would have done it sooner instead of struggling with it for 5 years.

[@markcollins457]

Hey Eric, just started to watch another KZbinr and after 2 minutes in my cringe kicked in. I'm a car buff and fan of SMA especially your diagnostic process but watching brand "X" I found myself saying "that's not the way Eric" does it. As far as a business you should be proud that your customers get the experience of a good diagnosis on the front end of the repair job. And that is money we'll spent!

[@stu8575]

I hate it when Schmutz gets into my car parts! Thanks for allowing us to follow along with your Diagnostics! It really does help. Happy Thanksgiving!!!! 🦃🦃🦃

[@Micko350]

Eric they're a very common failure over here in Australia, especially in the "50 Series" Camrys! I can usually buy a Whole damaged Camry from the "Raffles" over here for what the "Wreckers" want just for a second hand ABS unit!

[@ducky1496]

We replaced the ABS modules all the time at Volvo. Great job again Eric O!!!

[@GrevilleRyan]

I just love to watch South Main Auto...another great video Mr 'O'...many thanks

[@CurtisLee-z8u]

I had to send mine out on my 2013 dodge ram I had to send it to Idaho and have it rebuilt come back in five-year warranty and it works perfect. 400 bucks with shipping.

[@jonsnell4751]

A common issue on the 1996-2002 Volvo V70. Dry joints in the control box. Remove the control box, as you just did and the board has broken solder points where the solenoids attach to the board. 20 minutes from start, repair and replace.

[@waynesanders1406]

ProTip: line the inside of the module with JB Weld or Liquid Nails to keep moisture out.

[@javiermarrero4229]

Saludos Eric 👍

[@Fjord_Driver]

I got my start in automotive land by spraying cars with rattle can primer. When I saw video 1, I thought, clearly this needs an entire new wiring harness as per good dealer practices. You saved this customer money and a lot of frustrating wire routing labor days. That's crazy thinkin' there.

Great job, Eric! The used module did do the trick 🙂

[@davidstreling3690]

would have been nice to see if you could have opened the electronic side of the module to see if the surface mount parts had been soldered properly it has been mentioned that is usually the reason for the abs failing and yes i have seen that a lot of surface mount parts not being soldered due to unknown reasons

[@timowallin8020]

Yeah haven't yet seen unit(in EU) that you cant buy controller wo hydraulig part, but maybe Toyota has one.. But yes bleeders are great and what is even greater is that its getting more common for ABS module to leave break fluid pressure on some second longer on some lines then other. Witch makes leaving the lights fun! Example if front left and right rear are on and you accelerate q what happends ;)

[@NiallWardrop]

Are those things required for inspection in the US? We don't have them in the UK and if we did I'd be disabling the thing on any vehicle I got as they seem really annoying. They always seem to work on any modern vehicle in YT videos so I assume you're not allowed to not have them.

Had problems with these back in the 90s on wrecked cars. Toyota tried to blow it off. But there was no exterior damage to them. Ins Co told them they were going to request a ruling from NHTSA for a recall. Suddenly Toyota started warranting them. lol Had the same problem with Hyundai on their mufflers and cat converters. Hyundai started paying for them too. It's always something.
