Excellent demonstration Brandon, thanks tbt for putting this info out there. It took me months to prove to my shop that rc is trustworthy. Id have to do it conventional just for them to feel comfortable with rc testing. Now they don't bother, i print the waveform, and they don't question, ever 🤣

I had no idea you could do a relative compression test with a scope without an amp clamp! Great stuff right here - thanks for that one, Brandon! AC coupling right at the battery - I'd have never thought of that. 👍👍 Noticed Keith and Ivan making cameos in the background there - now that's a garage people will want to bring their modern, computer-controlled problem-children to. 😎 Happy New Year guys! 🍻

A million thanks for all of the feedback. Thank you all for investing the time to watch. To answer a few questions, the RC Test, monitoring for voltage-drop is almost as accurate as current measurement. The difference in reliability is minimal. I recommend applying this test to a known-good vehicle. Then, try removing a spark plug (to create low-compression in one cylinder) and repeat the test. There is NO BETTER WAY TO LEARN this valuable technique! I use it EVERYDAY 👍

Brandon, that was an AWESOME video on compression testing. Now I really want to see a relative compression waveform on your Civic with a 20psi loss on cyl2...would that show up on the scope? Also we have to do a follow-up vid on Keith's van, since it actually DOES have a mechanical engine problem than the relative comp test didn't definitively show :) I have the vacuum Pico waveforms here for reference. It was so much fun hanging out with you and Chris and Keith on the Island, we should do that again sometime soon! Happy New Year!!

I wouldn't, potential for blowing your scope if its connected to ground some how such as when connected to a mains powered laptop as you're effectively creating a short through the scope. Battery powered not as risky. Safest bet just use the invert function.

Great video!! AC coupling filters out the DC signal portion. I understand using AC coupling when testing AC ripple on an alternator (AC source) to block out the DC voltage to increase the image resolution on a scope. However I am a bit confused on how AC coupling is working in the video: relative compression case while we are using the starter's voltage drop (DC signal). The starter's commutator strips also generating AC ripple while it's revolving, no? Can someone dumb it down and explain how this actually works with AC couple/capacitor feature when it comes to relative compression?
@TrainedbyTechs
@TrainedbyTechs 5 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the reply Mike. AC Coupling will remove the DC from the circuit and simply show the "change" in voltage. Everytime a piston approaches TDC, the voltage will naturally drop due to the load on the circuit. AC coupling allows the scale of the tool to be much smaller (1-2v) which allows the drops in voltage to be more pronounced in appearance. Effectively creating a "zoom" feature.

@brandonsteckler3417 5 жыл бұрын
Surely, Typically we view waveforms as reference to ground.When we view an AC signal, we think of it as one that varies above and below the ground line (meaning positive and negative). This is a true statement but it would be more accurate to say “an AC signal is one that varies above and below the reference point. When we AC Couple a Waveform, we make the reference point the average point or center of the waveform (not ground). If we then place the scope in a lower voltage range, we can view variations above and below the reference point (the average of Waveform. This technique serves as a ZOOM function. This works well on scopes that don’t possess great zoom capabilities. Does this make sense?

Brandon : I appreciate your time and knowledge . There is a company called Auto Ditex in Bulgaria that makes several diagnostic items , including a relative compression tester . It clips to the battery . The test can be unsynched or synched to ID each cylinder . It is a low skill level . I saw Diagnose Dan use it . There is also discussion on Scanner Danners channel . It costs $ 290.00 on E Bay , plus shipping . I don't know if a single channel U Scope from AES Wave can do this . But wouldn't you need the a second channel to synch the cylinders ? Again , thanks for the lesson . Bill .

Nice video and very well explained. It's a shame you didn't do the relative compression test on the first vehicule. It would have been nice to see if the relative compression test would have caught the weak cylinder that showed up in the conventional test and just how much difference would have shown up on the trace.
@brandonsteckler3417
@brandonsteckler3417 5 жыл бұрын
Hey Michael, You bring about a great point. The terminology “relative” obviously referred to how each current-peak relates to the next. Because is inferre s “starter-Load”, minor/normal variations in compression won’t make much of an effect on the current-trace. However, when there is enough of a shift in compression-differential to cause a drivability-symptom, my experience has been that the evidence is clear. Try it yourself, by loosening a single spark plug to simulate compression loss👍

@@brandonsteckler3417 Brandon, I was trying to find out if anyone had ever tied the two tests together. In other words would a 10% reduction in compression over the companion cylinders show up in a relative compression test, OR would it take 20, 30, or 40 percent before you'd see the difference on a relative compression trace? I was looking for the cutoff number?

Damn, I just cringe thinking about weak hood props and a hood crashing down on a new Snap On Zeus while I'm inside cranking over the starter. I think a quick go -no go relative compression test with volt leads could be done right inside car, off a DLC Line SPI. I'm too lazy to bother hooking to a primary wire of coil for a trigger unless I see a smaller dip somewhere between humps to justify wire piercing for a trigger to determine which one has a compression deficit .

Yes! Thank you for pointing that out. Anywhere there is access to source voltage/Ground can be utilized. The DLC is a great place to sample, right from the driver’s seat. You make the valid point of capturing a sync only if a fault is detected. It definitely saves time not to find a sync unless necessary. I appreciate your help, thank you!

As well as a Volumetric Efficiency Test , etc. What about when you have to remove an intake plenum just to gain access , as well as risk breaking plugs , frozen plugs or baked on boots ? This could be done on the Snap On MT-2400 - about 25 years ago , with an amp clamp !

Thanks for the video. If you are used to use the current clamp while testing relative compression you might want to invert the trace so the peaks of the signature align with the compression humps..... Or you can put your positive probe on the engine block and the ground probe on battery negative while you are DC-coupled in the 1 voltrange, makesfor a really good signature

So you AC couple it to get a "zoom". Thank you so much!!! You don't know how much that helps me. I bought a low amp probe for my verus long ago mostly for relative compression but when it arrived the clamp was way too small to fit on battery cables. I tried doing it by measuring battery voltage drop but at 20v setting there was literally zero detail. I couldn't get any detail no matter what settings I tried and Snap On only sells a new style low amp probe that literally feels like a $20 Chinese probe I ain't paying $500 CAD for it. Can't wait to try this.

@brandonsteckler1307
@brandonsteckler1307 5 жыл бұрын
Hi, Great question. The key to successful and efficient diagnostics is understanding the limitation of the tools/tests being utilized. The relative-compression test (voltage-drop or amperage) simply displays the the load placed upon the starter as each piston, in-turn , completes a compression stroke. So long as the cylinder fills/seals similar to the other and has the similar stroke, the load should be the same. To answer your question, simply having oil on the spark plug means oil consumption is present but not necessarily a loss in compression. Does this make sense ?

With all my respect to your experience Cylinder Compression test is an accumulative way of testing, some service info specify the number of piston strokes/revolutions to record the reading some do not mention anything, therefore it is essentially an accumulative testing so no matter how many compression strokes you go with, the air pressure inside to combustion chamber, the hose, and the gauge eventually gonna equalize on a definite Psi reading.

I love it when I learn new stuff. Fantastic video! I don't know why, but I just didn't consider voltage drop instead of current. 35 years I've been doing this. Duh-huh. Thank you.

I think Brandon teaches better than Kieth , that is , he slows his thoughts down so the viewing audience can stay up. Kieth knows his sh&t, but skips a lot of his demonstrations, as he probably saying to himself they (the viewers)should already know this stuff. And no Kieth , I watch everyone of your videos but scratch my gray hair afterwards. lol.

Yeah , I just assume that everyone will get out there and seek the training. Not just the free stuff . But the thousands of dollars worth that I spend every year. The sacrifices and effort that I put into receiving my own training , well the only way to get paid back for those is by fixing cars for a living, not KZbin. So I'll never spend the time to make very long drawn out videos. There is no benefit. I already lose enough time and money to help where I can for free. Take those moments where you're lost after the video and use that as your incentive to go get some training . Cheers

Keith is an absolutely phenomenal diagnostician. We have to keep in mind that Keith is “working “/running his business” all while sharing his videos with us. It takes a tremendous amount of concentration and thought to get, what you were trying to share, out there for viewers to see. If Keith took the time to break down every thought, to the most basic point of view, his videos would be hours long, and not as well received. I appreciate the support and the complement but will remind you I did that video with all of those Fellas , with no time constraint at all. This is why I had the luxury of taking my time to articulate.

Keith is just sharing some interesting observances when he comes across them. most people viewing Keith's channel have some knowledge in this field know what's going on in the video and is more of a guys look what I found out keep this under your hat if you come across this issue on one of these type things.

Better than that...I challenge you to try it yourself, on a known-good vehicle. Capture/post and tag me in it...tell us all what the test has shown you 👍

Thank you Brandon Steckler! Very well explained! I'm just wondering if Voltage drop test is as accurate as current drop test since voltage and current have different reaction times (problably not a considerably difference to set a noticeable difference at low cranking RPM tests) Just wondering.

Yes, the vdrop Test will yield you similar results as the amperage-test. Close enough to make a sound determination of a mechanical fault

Voltage drop and current flow are proportional to one another. In fact, You You place the both on the same scope, they are mirror images of one another , just inversely proportional
