In this video I have a look at a 2009 Dodge Grand Caravan that the lady is trying to get the engine light to go out in so she can get a sticker at the local sticker supplier. It doesn't take long to see the ABS Module is not communicating with anything else on the network. Regardless of all the other issues this is what we are going to look at. -Enjoy!

UPDATE: The lady brought the vehicle back several weeks after the diag and I installed a used ABS module. However at that point the front brakes were grinding metal against metal along with many other issues. She had me install and program it (initialization process to rewrite VIN) After that the ABS would communicate just fine and the speedometer now works. The downside is it had several codes in it for speed sensors. No big surprise but the good news is she can now go get the inspection sticker and hammer down the road safe and sound 🙄....

We should all recommend Erics site on Kilmers comment section as he deserves the subs more than Kilmer.

If anyone doesn't like how you do your channel there is always the option of starting your own channel and doing it their way! You keep being you. At least some of us are here because we appreciate the thought process that you ramble about. Knowing why you're doing something is more important then knowing how to do it.

This. I don't think "rambling" does it justice either. The explicitness and detail level needed to make the logic accessible to beginners (like myself) is something I have appreciated much more now that I have a reference sample of explanations given by the techs I work with. And there is enough of a theoretical scaffold included to translate a specific example of diagnostic logic into improvements in future workflow.

Much earlier in my life, 45 years ago, I did all my car maintenance myself. Once computer control with multiple sensors came about, I left it up to the pro's because I had no way to read codes, run tests etc. I have done very little repairs except oil changes etc. during the past few years I have been watching your channel and several others but had no need to do any actual repairs. Several days ago the engine on my 2007 Nissan frontier started acting strangely and lit the check engine light. I have a "FIXD" unit plugged into my computer port so I viewed the code on my iPhone, which was a P0335, Crank Shaft Position Sensor error. So I did a KZfaq search on that and viewed the simple procedure for replacing it. Had I not been watching you guys show similar repairs, I would have just taken it to Nissan or another shop and had them do the work. So this old man is appreciative of you guys sharing your skills.

i work at at a shop that is unfortunately one of those parts changer shops. I hate it it. I have a scope, great scan tool. utest kit and a host of other diag equipment yet the boss is rush rush rush so i get stuck with breaks, oil changes, and such. I lost my DL when i was 18yrs old. I am now 36yrs old. I found my 20yr old cousin dead from an overdose and had a panic attack and the hospital gave me an IV medication to calm me down. got the dui on the way home. Been fighting for months to get them back but the great state of PA wants money,money,money. point in case Eric O you never ramble my friend, You and scanner danner are my idols because you are the true definition of a top notch technician.

I can actually understand what your saying and doing. I took autoshop in high school way back in the 90's but my teacher was an old curmudgeon of a guy who assumed you were a car obsessed nut if you were in his class. Had I had a teacher like you I might have taken a bigger interest in cars. i know from reading the comments that you have a lot of techs and mechanics that watch this channel, but thanks for making it entertaining and understandable to us average people too.

Eric this is another excellent video. I know it is your catch phrase that if you can do it so can you. You and I know that’s not true. Most people cannot afford a lab scope. Even if they could they would not know what they were looking at. You said this vehicle came from another shop so obviously even semi professionals can’t always figure these problems out. I help in a small engine shop now. I’ve used my lab scope to test crank sensors and modules to keep from parts swapping. My employer looks on in wonder. They don’t have this technology that I grew up with and is now second nature. Just like doctors who specialize , you are a several steps above the “nuts and bolts” mechanic. I worked during carbs and points , saw transition to electronic ignition and fuel injection. I still marvel at what will they think of next. Keep up the good work ‼️

Good Job. I for one greatly appreciate your comments & explanations. PLUS your pleasant demeanor and the occasional "Family" appearances, too. Over the years, I "inherited" 2 Dodge minivans that had been my company vehicles. Each presented (as they say) terrible ground integrity over they years. The 2000 was totaled, but still have the '92; it now has only 2 seats and is the neighborhood "Waterproof" "Large-Object-Home Depot-Run" hauler. Recently had no dash lites, no gauges, no door chime. Since NO OBD2 until 4 years later, I took a page out of YOUR FINE "Let's keep it simple, folks". Since the chime would talk to me whenever I "corrected" a missing connection or ground. BINGO. 1 bad ground in the engine bay. 2 bad grounds at the BCM housing near the driver knee space AND a corroded (connector leg) solder joint on the BCM PCB inside. Took me 3 hours ... YOU ... What? 30 minutes. !!! Warm Regards to all, John in the NW

ANd seeing good + and minus and comm fail the ABS. In Avoca, NY, that plug could get the green crust EEZ. So, Mr. O , when the plug was put back in, you checked to see that the ABS no comm didnt go away. And I would surely as others, would have loved to see your trip to the PIC N Pull. Also would love to see how the car door gets fixed. I see lots more rolls of Scotch 88+ at Lowes today.

Once you properly diagnose and fix their main concern it’s likely to give the some confidence in you to where they might bring it back for some of the other stuff.

Time and time again. The ability to pause and think through the problem, and then verify that is the problem (instead of guessing) has seized the day. I think most mechanics/technicians are doing this but as always a few bad apples ruin the reputation for the bunch. As always, thanks for the video and keep doing the great work. Critical thinking and developing a process to run down a problem is always the key to coming up with the correct solution. Keep it up!!!!

ABS module on my 2000 Expedition went out (continuous running key in or out). Opened it up and found the MOSFET was burned out. Soldered in a new one for $3. Sealed it back up with RTV and been running for 2 years now.

Your intro reminded me of Jean Cranes from Apollo 13. When they were listing all the things that had gone wrong with the spacecraft. He finally stopped and said... What do we got on the spacecraft that's good?

The “rambling on” is much appreciated, I talk through problems at work as well, service tech not in the auto industry. But I do get odd looks when I start my service call saying, “ hey there viewers, welcome back to the South Main Auto channel…” or use the famous “ Theres your problem , lady”

Eric, at that point Chrysler should just have a big red light, comes on that, says "Look Lady all your lights are on, here's your problem Lady You need to either fix it all or you need a new car!" Plus whoever said you ramble is nuts or has never worked on a car! keep up the good work brother. You Da Man. :)
