How to use a Powerprobe. We just scratched the surface as to what this amazing tool can do but we were trying to keep it short. A Viewer requested the video so we tried to show the basic functions.

In another video, some tech recommended using a “power probe” to retract electronic brakes w/o ever explaining what the hell a power probe even was! I mean, if the person doesn’t have a good scanner, then there’s a good chance he doesn’t have a power probe, either! This video was extremely helpful, thanks!

@EATSLEEPFARM 4 жыл бұрын

One thing I didn’t here you guys say is just because it shows ground ( lit up green) when your probing things that doesn’t only mean that it’s a ground. It also means that it has a complete circuit to ground. Example when you did the blower motor test it shows ground meaning the circuit is complete. This is an awesome tool for electrical work but can also be harmful if your not careful

@haynlaskan9668 Жыл бұрын

one thing to note awesome demo by the way. when they tested the starter solenoid and he got surprised by it showing ground is that a power wire depending how and what it is wired to will show ground unless switched on by either the ignition or some sort of switch and is under load then it will show battery voltage. be careful when wiring things and using available wires at the location you or wiring in as i have made this mistake and shorted a ECT guage lol.

The truck in the video if I was working on it I would use the hook because it’s all in one so I can check power ground resistance and amps when it comes to older trucks wiring harnesses. Last but not least keep up the good work guys the channel is awesome the request I have is more paccar videos because they roll in the shop every now and again👍

Analog if you’re watching for fast fluctuation in voltage. A multimeter isn’t sending power on demand, only measuring the input selected on the dial/buttons.
