We've got a 2011 Chevy Impala that stalled on the highway and after, would not crank. The shop thinks it's a bad ECM because it won't communicate, and that's what Identifix suggests. Let's find out... Hope you enjoy!

Wow, a lot of important lessons buried in this video. I love your clear nail polish trick. I wonder how it stands up over the long term. Even though liquid electric tape should be better, I go through cans of that because the containers dry out.

@advancedleveldiagnostics 9 ай бұрын

I've been using it for a while, and it seems to seal very well. When the hole is a little bigger than a prick, like if the copper is showing a little, I still use Liquid tape. Even though I can never get the stuff off my hands😃

I love the way he did it finding missing ground (((( ''I'm not an expert so I'm still learning as well'' )))but wouldn't you think an easier way would be a quick voltage drop onto the ground battery to groung using voltage drop

@advancedleveldiagnostics 7 ай бұрын

Then I would have to keep it plugged in and back probe it so the circuit would be loaded. This way, it puts 4amps on the circuit even when it's not working.

I think you have a diffrent issue because on this car it would not crank at all, because there was no communication with the computer.

why does he use the Lightbulb and not just the test light? Still learning Id appreciate any insights

@advancedleveldiagnostics 3 ай бұрын

A regular incandescent test light only pulls about 150 milliamps of current; the light bulb takes 4.5 amps of current. I want to make sure it can handle a load.

It's a Launch PRO3S+HDIII, Diesel & Gasoline Bidirectional Diagnostic Scan amzn.to/3t6LCx4 I got it on amazon it is the chinese version which didn't bother me. If you're looking for something with much better support I would recommend TopDon www.topdon.us/collections/professional-series/products/phoenix-elite?ref=DKOii7zD3k5PUe

I used to use a sim card installed in the computer, but I couldn't figure out how to make it into a hotspot for my scan tools. Now I use an At&t Netgear portable hotspot that I keep in my pocket.

Yup, I paid junk for this 07 F450. I wasn't thrilled initially, but now that I'm setting it up, it is really nice to have all that room! The suburban was slowly dying as I really was abusing it with all the weight😀

@scotts4125 9 ай бұрын

@@advancedleveldiagnostics Back in the day I tried all kinds of vehicles and finally bought an E150 little did I know I was going to overweight that too but working out of a proper vehicle makes life so much easier. On that E150 I went through rear axles and bearings. The best I could do was take it to a truck spring shop. Never had an axle or bearing problem again. That 450 should hold a bit of weight. Parking garages and low overhangs are the only major drawback but even my van gave me the same issues. I had a PoPo style lightbar on the roof with lights and a P.A. as we do emergency service calls. I'm working on something with Techstream. Newer Toyota's have output and input codes for lost keys. The scan tool gives you 3 output codes and through NASTF you have to pay Toyota $70 for a 2 day rental for the input code. I may have a work around a lot cheaper. Will know when we get the next one. If it works I will email you how it's done.

What Launch scanner is that and how do you like it?

@advancedleveldiagnostics 9 ай бұрын

LAUNCH X431 PRO3S+HDIII amzn.to/3t6LCx4 , I got it to do HD Trucks as my Topdon is incapable. I like launch software. It is almost the same as topdon. I feel the hardware is of lesser quality than the Topdon, But that's most likely because I just got the Chinese one. It can still access the FCA gateway module, which is pretty cool.
