You made power and ground side switching explanation so clear and precise it's like magic Paul. I'm serious....great video once again! Last week I diagnosed a defective EVAP canister purge solenoid on my 4th gen Corvette. I bench tested it and found mini bits of charcoal inside the solenoid...it 'froze' stuck and would not open. Hoping I can edit the video soon and post it to help others. Turns out the charcoal canister internally failed and engine vacuum sucked the charcoal into the solenoid when it opened. Crazy I had never seen this before. The symptoms of a clogged vacuum tube/solenoid not working...extreme fuel vapor pressure when removing the gas cap! Never had a trouble code...1993 model OBD 1.

On the purge solenoid you were testing, if it did not have an accessible vacuum port would it have been worth having the students look at upstream 02's and STFT while you activated it to look for a rich change to verify operation? Sure would love to sit in on your classes. Keep up the great work! ---Eric O. S.M.A.

Great video. On the A/C circuit, I believe, w/out having a wiring diagram, the pcm controls a relay in the PDC (power distribution center) sending power to the A/C clutch. So even though the A/C is power side controlled at the clutch, the pcm controls the relay on the ground side.

@ScannerDannerPremium 9 жыл бұрын

That is correct but the concept is the same as far as circuit ID and testing on a power side switched circuit. It even shows that this concept can be used on a non computer controlled switching circuit.

I sure like the way you use your the ammeter side of your multimeter as a jumper set, after verifying circuit design. Not only do you get instant amperage readings, you also have a fuse inside the ammeter to hopefully protect the circuit if you make a mistake. I can't say how many times I've fried the ammeter side of various meters, every time slapping myself in the forehead like Mo in the three stooges. It hasn't happened in the last decade, but surely it will happen again one day. So far, touch wood, I haven't yet fried a PCM....

When you are back probing the purge solenoid, you have the negative black lead of the DVM clipped onto a good ground ok but do you have the ignition switch on or off? I'm working on a 1993 Pontiac TransSport with it's OBD 1 system. Does checking for ground feed from the PCM require jumping the A and B terminals on the Diagnostic socket or... and does it require the ignition key to be ein? Been reading and youtubing too much causing me to revert to not knowing my backside from a hole in ground 🙃

@ScannerDanner 2 жыл бұрын

Ignition on so the circuit has power. And if you're testing to see if the computer will switch the solenoid on (ground side switched), then one method without a scan tool to command it on, was the jump the ALDL pins A and B HOWEVER, some of the years before OBDII (96) 93-95 or 94-95, pin A or B was missing, so you couldn't do this test

@leh3827 2 жыл бұрын

@@ScannerDanner EXCELLENT. Both pins on this particular ALDL connector have pins; The A terminal is ground, B terminal power. I should check to see what voltage B is. I assumed it was 12V? Interesting that the LED light won't energize the solenoid circuit. So an LED test light has more resistance than an incandescent test light... as in I=E/R? My head is telling me an LED light would allow more voltage to energize the solenoid circuit but restrict the amperage too much; Am I seeing that correctly?

@ScannerDanner 2 жыл бұрын

@@leh3827 no reason to check voltage on Pin B, not sure that I ever have, so I couldn't tell you what it is. It wouldn't be 12 I don't think? Anyway, this will make the check engine light flash and the ECM will cycle some outputs, but not all. And yes, too much resistance in the LED for doing bypass testing. The incandescent light has less resistance so you'll get more voltage drop on the solenoid (which is desired) and more current flow. Ideally we want to drop all the voltage across a load in a circuit but we use a light instead of a jumper wire in case we accidentally get our polarity wrong, so we don't fry the ECM driver

Hi Paul, sorry if I keep saying this, but great vid, again! Question: how were you so certain up front that your incandescent test light would not harm the driver. Was is just general knowledge that that kind of solenoid would need about 300mA to energise? When and what kind of circuit/driver would you NOT use an incandescent test light? Remember the vid where you recommended using a 5K ohm resistor to put power side into a sensor (TPS) ground? How do you judge when it's ok; when not? thanks:-)

Yes, but don't call it a signal, that is a term applied to input circuits. I know I'm picking on a word and it's no big deal, but it is important when learning these concepts to use the correct terminology to prevent confusion when troubleshooting. Make sense? We would simply call this a control wire for an output (which is what a solenoid is, an ouput)

@ScannerDanner 2 жыл бұрын

The terms can be mixed up based on who you talk to, but they are different. A reference voltage would be the sensor power supply (like the 5v reference circuit). And a bias voltage is something that is hidden behind a normal operating circuit and you won't see it unless the circuit is unplugged or there is an open (in most cases). This is a great question!

This power ground side identification business and your book. I have been reading it and find myself confused. My Golf 2.0fsi has high emissions and fails the government tests. OK so I test egr solenoid pins 1 and 5 with connector UNPLUGGED. Both show 12v and I asked you once about this. You’d mentioned one must be bias voltage. So I connected a test light to battery ground and touched both one at a time. Yep the test light lit when I touched both. The flow charts say pin 1 is battery ground and 5 positive though. So I run leads from battery to egr and the thing clicks. I look with inspection camera and the valve does not open though. So I use scan tool and action it with obviously connector reconned and the valve opens. So how come it does not open when my wires were same thickness as the wires in loom? How come the two wires show 12v and will light a test light when connector unplugged?

Nope not an LED for sure. Incandescent from laser tools. Since that I have also found the ECM has a pin broken and others around with green mould or something on them. The broken pin is for12v input from main relay. Guess this is the reason engine computer not operating properly. Did also discover that with the cylinder 2 and 3 misfire I could make it go away for 4 days by removing and recomnecting the ground wire to the electric power steering rack. VW had issued recalls on 66,500 cars because ABS/ESP unit looses ground connection. Fix supposed to be either software update or new ABS module.

Like you recommended, I am going to focus on chapter 3 of your channel videos. I have to go slow until I feel in the know. I can't help feeling like an insecure dummy sometimes especially when you get pushing buttons on your scanner. I don't have a scanner so I get confused each time you bring up a scope readout or a graph or anything. AAAAARGH!

That is one puny 12v car battery being dragged down by a small 3 or 5 watt incandescent light bulb.

So you can say the solenoid works with 7 Volts because the 5 Volts bias on the groundsite....😉

Man. I know you know what you are doing, but you have so many wires going to the solenoid and it’s confusing to hear you talk about many different testers at one time. Plus you can’t see it well the lighting and testing solenoid being in the car and far away from the camera. It’s too confusing.
