Excellent work Oz, I have been chasing a cam sensor fault on a 2001 twin turbo Subaru Legacy. I swapped out the sensor, checked and double-checked the wiring and so on. I was getting to the end of what I could check! scoped everything and hey-presto NOISE! That alternator seemed fine, was putting out a good charge and all but was causing interference. Changed the Alternator and the vehicle runs beautifully. Thank you so much for your great video.

Good job Oz. Really appreciate your videos. From experience 120 mV AC to 250 mV AC seems to be the max allowed ripple depending on manufacturers. Usually outside this range you'll get sensor related codes just like this beauty you diagnosed. Even if no codes occur it's good to test AC ripple when newer batteries are testing bad. AC voltage is bad on batteries.

amr hamed so how then would you pursue a flex ray network failure due to signal attenuation? It's not a fancy tool at all. It's quite basic . And if used properly is one of the greatest in any diagnosticians arsenal. Are there other ways ? In most cases yes , but certainly not all. A decent scope is under 100 dollars. A snap on ratchet used is the same price. Remember that we do not have the luxury of just repeatedly fitting parts to see if it's the failure. We only have a few hours and that customer must have their vehicle back. Where are you from if I may ask?

Added information... the Radio suppression capacitors are found on the front of the engine. Those capacitors aren't for the "radio." Capacitors filter out noise just like what you saw on your scope. In other words they filter out radio frequency noise (RF noise). You might have fixed it with the alternator but I believe the better fix was with the capacitor... it only costs $8. Soon the new alternator might cause the same problem and you'll be in the same problem. Excellent video but go further just like you said and don't throw parts at your car. In fact might be able to clean the connections on the capacitor and it'll be free.

I also ordered a knock sensor because I also got that code a while back when I was having misfires and needed to replace spark plug 6.

Great diagnostic and shows why electronic problems can be tricky. I hope those who don't wrench on their cars appreciate why the mechanics they pay can't always solve every issue on a 1st pass. It appears the alternator output noise coupled into the analog ground of the engine controller (needs more filters), and also that perhaps Ford chose a too-low threshold for the VR signal from the camshaft sensor. Perhaps purposeful so it would still work as the sensor magnet aged or if installation distance was off, but also makes it touchy to any noise in the signal or controller.

The camshaft sensor error code then disappeared, proving that the noise was the problem (thus was very relevant).

@Echo0242 жыл бұрын
Removing the battery terminal while the car is running just demonstrates that the alternator is able to produce enough amperage at the right voltage to power all the electrical systems. Due to the method by which the alternator generates electricity, it’s naturally rough and uneven but there’s a small electrical component called a diode inside the alternator which “cleans” the power output so it’s nice and smooth. When the diode fails, the rough and pulsing power is fed into the rest of the electrical system and can cause codes for some of the more sensitive parts like cam/crank sensors. If the diode fails, the best course of action is a new alternator. I’ve had terrible luck with remanufactured units but then again new OEM stuff costs an arm and a leg.

I have an 03 neon that dies when driving. Have codes for cam and crank sensors. Replaced them both and took timing cover off to check it. The timing looked good but I put in a new belt since I had that off. There has been no change it still does the same thing. Is there a way I can test the food of the alternator without the scanner?

I just changed the sensor in my 98 ranger but it's still misfiring and I may not have had tdc

Have you looked at what cylinder was misfiring ?

Bro I got an 05 Sunfire. I've got ignition coil, module, crank shaft position sensor, and spark plugs replaced. I still got a check engine light on but it runs better. It was shaking really bad. It throws a cam shaft code but when I go to get the part its like it don't exist. I'm so confused and angry. What do I need to do .

Hi there Oz I have that problem with my 2004 nissan pathfinder I changed twice my camshaft sensor bank 2 cause I don't have that equipment that you have, so you think maybe is my alternator?

Damn man you did a good job. You know your shit. I never would have thought the alternator was the problem. So here's my question, I don't have one of those diagnostic tools. I already changed the camshaft sensor cause it was a cheap fix but the code just came on again. Is there another way of telling if the alternator is the problem without that oscilloscope.

Using a multimeter and see if your alternator is producing excessive ac ripple. But this will only cause problems on 2 wire cam sensors

@@OzMechanics Thanks man. I believe it is a two wire. But what am I looking for with the multimeter? Is the volts gonna me jumping around?

Back in the 80s I had an Alltest multimeter that automatically checked bad diodes as you checked dc voltage. That can play hell with computer issues . Man that was cool. It should still be a feature, but its not.

Hey Oz I have a 2005 Subaru Legacy gt i have a cam sensor circuit code and i changed them both changed the oxy sensors had new coils an sparks done an a month later i got the cam code but it runs fine but when i go to slow down it either dies or has a rough idle. Not all the time does it do this though it is random. Most of the time when i crank up it has a moment or two the idle sounds rough an some times when i put it in drive or reverse it acts up but its random though so no consistent. Would that be the wiring harness to the sensors? being its a Subaru not the best wiring. Or would it be something else cause its not feeling a running like a bad cam sensor thank you for your time!!
