Foresty! The way your react seeing a motorcycle in the middle of nowhere is the same way react when we see a van in the middle of nowhere 😂

“Whoa a motorcycle!” Hahahah that got me. It was so innocent and hilarious

That tiny Pack Raft looks so sketchy. I don't see how it doesn't sink just from the weight of the cojones required to paddle it out into open water like that. You're the man Forestry. Keep up the great content!

This started happening after the bumper was installed..try checking any screws that could have pinch a wire making it ground out or if they put a winch on check all the wiring & connections...

Hi there best wishes from India 🇮🇳 you videos gives me strength and motivates me in need 😊😊😊👍🏻 Appriciated your efforts watch you since 2 years approx good work though 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

If you need a place to stay in Lillooet you can try Bruin's End just north of the town towards the mouth of the Yalokom river. Ask for Mischa and tell him Cyrus sent you. Thanks for the video's

Always a good sat night when a foresty video pops up 🥳🙂

You edited out the beeping sound of the air fryer! Whenever it beeps in your video, my 3yo goes "di do!" and we all laugh. Anywho - sending love from California!

Hi Forest. I have been looking through your older build videos when you were making your ground cables and all you had was hand pliers to make you connection back when you upgraded your alternator. I remember back then saying to myself...those grounds can come back to haunt you in weird and wonderful ways. Have you had a look at them lately. Grounds can really screw with you.

Oh thank you so much foresty! Just finished an 18 hour flight journey and five hour drive home. Great to lay down and watch a relaxing video before hibernating like a beaaaar, who knew sitting for so long could be so exhausting.

Love Amanda her channel and the way she treats Frank.:)

That lake was so beautiful green!

Amanda and Forest look to be having a grand time together. What great travel partners, he even accomodates her when cooking!

Sometimes it just all goes south. You'll power through it I'm sure. I really like your videos no matter the topic.

We hope your bee stings and sore leg heal quickly and that your van gets fixed soon.

My Dear Lone Wolf, Glad you're not so lone here I would imagine Amanda and Frank are good company I hope you find that more than annoying Gremlin that seems to have invaded your van and has reeked havoc this summer. I'm sending good thoughts of codes and sensors to you. Stay well. Best wishes from The Great Lake State of Michigan 🐢

Amanda has an infectious laugh. Love her dog. Love how Foresty always shows such kind hospitality to his new friends like Mike, and friend Amanda. Nice seeing Foresty w/company from time to time.

It made me happy Forest that you knew when it felt dangerous , and decided to turn back . I had began to get worried for you . 🍃

Your videos have motivated and inspired me to live, to explore and enjoy being alive. Thank you

You eat like a king Foresty. Best cooking channel ever. Chef Ramsey move over!

The one code is basically telling the traction/StabiliTrak. The ECM is having an issue and needs to disable traction control. The 5-volt reference code. This is where they would need to start first. It's going into limp mode due to the 5-volt reference going down. If I had to guess, the issue is probably going to be a wiring issue. I would check the engine main harness for any kind of rub marks. Especially above the bell housing. It could be a sensor issue or the ECM. But I highly doubt it's an ECM issue. Usually, when it's internment like that, it's usually a connection issue or a wiring issue. It's a short to ground. Because if it was open, it wouldn't set that code. It would set codes for the multiple modules on that circuit. If you wanted to try and find it. What I would do if I would back out the 5-volt reference 3, I would pull the circuits out of the ECM. Then reproduce the issue. Once I narrow it down to that circuit, then I would disconnect everything on that circuit. Like the one guy said, more than likely, the dealer will shotgun parts at it. Due to it being intermittent. Intermittent issues, especially a 5-volt reference issue. Any short on any branch will take out the 5-volt reference. Because you really need to duplicate the concern over and over again to find it. One thing as a customer that can help them. You might want to go on a test drive with their shop foreman or the tech working on it. Then show them the hill can be beneficial for them to fix it.

I got so excited when I saw you pulling out the sewing machine. The footage of your treks all over the mountain side is spectacular and gets me out of my own head for a wee bit of time for sure! But nothing makes me giggle like seeing you sitting on the sewing machine case lid. :D That, my friend, is ingenious. Sadly it wasn't meant to be for today's video. Although, the sewing machine on the picnic table in the middle of nowhere did make me smile. :) I hope they can diagnose the repair accurately and get both you and your beast of a van back on the road quick and the repairs cost won't be too dear. Stay sane, stay healthy, stay lovely!!! Thanks for taking us all along on your adventures!!!!

F.F. is killing me with that little pillow of a raft. I bought a much larger 2 man raft this summer but can't overcome my phobia with large bodies of water. Then he crosses a lake with that napkin of a raft. Again, I'm impressed with his automatic nerve where I have to build mine up.

I’m sure it’s moisture in a connector, though I recently fought a similar issue on a 2017 Silverado - I ended up finding one solitary wire with the insulation skinned off about 4” from the abs module and it was randomly grounding out on the edge of the nearby transfer case skid plate bracket.

Foresty Forest, the best van life. Best regards from Sweden!

Mr.Foresty Forest and Amanda making curtains and of course Frank was supervising, nice.🐕He's such a cutie and your pizza🍕🍕🍕looked delish🥑have a great weekend.😎

The drone shot over the lake with teeny tiny brave little vessel was a bit stressful (though beautiful). I just hope you’re a really good swimmer!

Woot!! Foresty Forest, again in his van, Foresty Forest, he is the climbing man!!!

Literally watched this just before making dinner. I was inspired to put beans on my pizza. It was really nice. Works well with Mexican flavors. Will definitely make it again. Thanks Forest.

I love Amanda & Frank! So glad you pointed out their website; binge watched most of the videos.

That dog is awesome reminds me of my ol hound dog who’s sitting right beside me

Lol hope to see more " Foresty and Tideline" episode meet ups! 😉✌

Wow! The colour of that water is so pretty!

Good to see you chilaxing with your friends again she's pretty cool...Every since they started putting sensors in cars this has been an issue... Hopefully that's all it is...

The color of that lake was cool.

Welcome to the world of modern 4x4ing . Keep your chin up buddy it's probably something small .Thanks for sharing .

😂😂😂 I pray you never run into any Karen’s and Ken’s anywhere! That big patch of berries is bear snacks, Run Forestry Run!!! Hopefully you get the van engine problems worked out soon. Cook that Lamb with garlic and Rosemary for extra flavor. Sure hope the fires end soon! Take care and safe travels😉👍

Nice to have some company or a companion. 👍🏻 Good for you Foresty!!

I told you AWD toyota Sienna or older toyota AWD van with lift. When your life depends on your vehicle, you just cannot trust anything other than Japanese manufacturing. Its just how it is. Im just grateful. I bought my 2001 sienna with 200k on it for $2,000 six months ago and have driven across the country 3 times not a single hicup.

When vehicles go squirrelly like yours there's usually a water/ground problem like what the GM tech was saying.

Please keep us posted Foresty. Great video - thank you.

Just reading the comments left here so far, FF, think you'll be further ahead with these suggestions than risking time/money at the dealership. Some knowledgeable & experienced FF fans !! Thanks for the video, despite bee stings, knee injury, van virus ...

Luv the colors of Amanda’s van

Impressive Packraft! That was pretty cool crossing in such a small raft.

That Unimog. Mmm. You need an older set of wheels like that. No computers to mess with your day.Take it easy brother.🇦🇺

Those thimble berries are prefect. The most under rated berry

Mate...you're one of a kind.. honest..caring... legit and all around nice bloke. The world needs more folks like you eh. Cheers from Tasmania.

That Mexican pizza 🍕!! Yummy 😋!!! Hope you can fix the problem!!

Those were some big waves for that small pack raft...tough hike and tough paddle...could be worse. Looking forward to hearing of your success in getting the van fixed and more adventures.

Beautiful, Foresty!

I found you through camping with steve. I want you to know I will be watching from now on

God bless and protect you always!

Just realized your truck problems are on your other channel...I know or sucks but I'm looking forward to knowing what the problem is and how it was fixed!!🖖

Good to see you out and about 👍

GM van fleet owner here. 2 things, ABS module connection is down below in a bad spot. Connector isn't the best and they get water in and corrode. If the ABS is producing bad signals that affects the Stabillitrak, which if it sends out bad data will affect the ECM/PCM. The other thing to ensure is that your chassis and cab structure are well grounded. This is pretty easy, ground cables are cheap, any auto parts or truck parts store has them. On our older vans we run one from the neg battery post to the engine block (alt bracket) the right side of the cab by the heater box and one down below from the engine block to the frame. It's a little overkill but it works. The ABS connector is serviceable but unless you have a lot of practice with Yazaki style connectors, it is money well spent at the dealer. Good luck!

gutsy crossing across the lake! But what a bushwhack. Yikes! Glad you were able to get those errors codes to come up. Now hopefully the "experts" can figure out what the heck is wrong and fix it. Good luck!

Another great video Forest...that pizza looked great 👍

Simon, we love your adventures! We just came through the Pemberton Rd, from the lower mainland, on Aug 3rd, Tuesday. We were hurrying back to the Deadman Valley, as evac order was lifted on the 4th, and we finally got to come home, after an entire month of evacuation! Would be awesome to cross paths with you someday. We have a daughter and son-in-law in Crowsnest Pass, who own RPM, a parts and supply store that specializes in sport-related products, and treats you like family. And there are awesome peaks there!

Nice video but start doing more road trips and mountain drives in your van versus doing hikes in each video please many of us would love to see drives more than hikes ❤️

Your living the good life bro 👍

the drone footage was beautiful today...hope the van doesnt get worse..i knew they wouldnt find the problem....your going to have to figure it out then hope you find someone who can nail it

When you are young, you want to log miles and altitude change, but are you really getting the best experience using fast easy routes? 2 kilometers, in 4 hours, let you see stuff, nobody else has. I used to be obsessed with performance goals, I now am obsessed with off track, which is slow, but yields incredible sights.

I loved how you just whip out a sewing machine out in the boonies. Great video! 👍👊😎

I love foresty! I missed ya buddy. I'm sorry your on a rough trek! You an Amanda are so funny. Do I smell LOVE in the air? Hmmm 🤔 or could that just be the fires.. 😂

FF: Sadly the dealership will probably just shotgun parts at it.. Without capturing live data, it's going to be a guessing game at what's wrong. If you had access to wiring diagrams, look to see what is common between all the circuits. Since your errors seem to be missing reference signals, this leads me to believe that it's more central than ABS sensors and vehicle speed sensors. Perhaps get in touch with the best in the business, Eric O. at South Main Auto!

The initial 5v circuit is most likely the problem, then the others that pop up are caused by the initial fault being that the secondary codes are different each time. Good luck buddy.

That yellow tank of a beast! 😍 oh yeah! 🔥

Keep your spirits up....you'll be out there again soon!

That lake water man.

This may sound stupid, but check your brake fluid level. On my Infiniti, the low fluid caused the AWD dash light to turn on on any incline.

Always a delight seeing a new Foresty video pop up in my feed

This was a great video and a great glimpse into the complexities of van life!

i was so excited to see this video in my feed! -burger40

Here's a gm one,water in connector!Accelerator pedal position sensor assembly Do NOT assume you have a bad accelerator pedal sensor. GM says the condition is caused by water leaking into the body harness connector that carries the APP signal to the PCM. The water changes the voltage readings from the APP. However, this code can also be generated by the installation of aftermarket equipment that is tapped into the wrong wire (radio, remote starter, radar detector, etc). Locate the body harness connector, located in and around the left hand kick panel area or inside the IP (consult a shop manual for location). Water can leak into the connector from clogged sunroof drains, A-pillar leaks, or windshield or cowling leaks. If you find water in the connector, locate the source of the leak. Then dry out the connector, apply dielectric grease and reseat the connector. Then clear the trouble codes and check for proper operation. This will cause your loss of power.

Amazing opening views!!!!!! You're videos are always as authentic as it gets!

Yorkshire England loves your adventures for sure !

I love this guy. What a cool way to live. And still gets little kid excited when a motorcycle goes by! Keep it up brother. You ever get down to Texas you have a hot shower, some cold beer, and a place to park anytime

Sorry you're having such rotten luck with your van and the bee stings! Love your videos whether you're hiking or not!!

Canada’s best on display here! Long time fan of FF. Recent fan of Amanda and Frank. Stay safe guys! Love from AZ.

you guys would make the best damn van couple!! you guys both rock! good vibes all day

Sorry to hear about your van problems. don't freak out too much. in an electrical system, one bad component or bad connection can make everything go haywire. Your bumpy roads could have knocked a connection loose somewhere. roll with it, bro. troubleshoot the problem and diagnose it. or just take it into the dealership and let them do it.

She’s a giggly one. Lol. She seems like a very nice person!! A woman after your own passions?? Mountain climbing?? I mean. Be safe foresty

That lake was beautiful 😍

Thats some beatiful country dude...damn.

I've not read through all the comments, but I'll bet there's more than one reply talking about perhaps a ground issue. You've done a bunch of changes electrically in your van. Consider looking at ALL the electrical connections you've made in various places on your van.

I hope you are wearing a life jacket.. If not, you may not be able to stay afloat with the cold weather gear on unless you have been trained to do it.

That lake is beautiful!

That sunrise was surely worth the trip.Thank you Foresty.

If the dealership asks you to recreate the problem, recreate it but don’t plug your OBD in to read it or pull fuses. It can lead to miss diagnosis and potentially cost you more money

That's more like chili in a bread bowl than it is pizza haha.

Well there you go -thanks to The Northwest Forager I learned that the thimbleberry is also known as the toilet paper plant!

The cooking segments are always my fave part. You are such a great cook!

I used to sell cars for a living and whenever our mechanics came across the P0697, the easiest fix was always just replacing the whole computer. There's so many different computer issues that could be causing it to happen, it was just easier that way. Definitely not cheap though.

Ditch that modern computer car and go for the good old yellow unimog. An englishman is probably all you need to repair that one ;)

Closely scritinize / clean all grounds. Tight! Clean!

Forests and mine reactions to a motorcycle are the same. Love the uploads.

Different codes but still the same problem? Sounds like a control module. Open circuit means you could have a loose connection. Meaning something could be plugged in but the contacts inside the plug are loosely held together.. Have you cleaned your battery posts? Corrosion between the post and cable could limit power supply to components. GM style battery connections are the worst IMHO.

Sadly I have had much the same experience with vehicles made by GM. I decided 20 years ago that I can't afford to drive anything they make. Can Hear Every Valve Rattle On Long Extended Trips..

Enjoy everything you do.

I like watching whatever you do in your videos. Doesn’t have to be anything spectacular.
