Servicing a rough idle and rough drive car yesterday. Fault on injector 1 was on and the power balance showed cylinder 1 was stealing from cylinder 4. Quite intense!

first and foremost thanks for making this video I too was thinking of showing special features of my scan tool so the people could see what they can do. i have a launch x431 pro3s+ and it has less submodels of cars to go through due to vin id but that does not make it the end all be all as i said before showing these slecial functions on different cars with different tools can help consumers get the scan tool that best for them. as different tools cant access the same functions keep those videos coming.

I just received my D7…I look forward to when you work on a Ram Promaster 2500 cargo van with a 62TE transmission and Pentastar 3.6L V6. I’m figuring out the benefits of this scanner with my van. Thanks

I wished you would've shown more....my understanding was this was originally an option for Ford scan tools, as a way of getting the engine to turn off fuel and basically do a relative compression test, so you can see how the rest of the cylinders compare or "balance" to each other????

@mrdiyguy123 Жыл бұрын

I explained what cylinder Power Balance test is and how to conduct the test and how to watch for the results by noticing a drop in RPM. What more were you looking for? I'm not sure there's any more to a cylinder Power Balance test then what I accurately described in the video.

My question is does it go by firing order as far as identifying the correct cylinder.

@mrdiyguy123 Жыл бұрын

No my assumption is it would go by the numbering of the cylinders not by firing order.

Hey, can this d7 tool do injector balance test do you know?

@Rhodeislander Жыл бұрын

Ok, what does balance test mean? I can pull a plug boot to kill cylinder, balance should mean some type of comparison of fuel or spark?

@jimmybeeler8277 Жыл бұрын

It will only tell you the hole that is dead. you have to find out why its that way. It keeps you from knocking the crap out of yourself by pulling plug wires.

Thanks for sharing all your progress with this scan tool! Quick question: Can you individually shut off each injector and coil pack?

@mrdiyguy123 Жыл бұрын

Hi there. The cylinder balance test shuts off either the coil or injector or both. I am not sure which. I have not found a test that is labelled injector or coil test sorry.

@arnoldwilson3719 Жыл бұрын

can you view the live data for both that would help maybe.
