I have 2014 Tran star international with a code 2642 3984 4026 520903 2011 2000 597 Please let me know thank you
How can you tell which code was active?
Thanks for sharing. Just tried it, and it worked! Took a couple of pictures and emailed them off to our terminal manager and mechanic.
How do i send a pic of my codes?
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I recently bought Sienna with 2GR-FE engine, and there is some cord going inside the hood. Not visible from any underneeth or from above. So most likely it's some kind of "block heater". I'm afraid to turn it on, because previous owner said he never used it for 10 years or something. Can I test it like that or it can be different kind of heaters? If it's corroded, can it burn the fu@ng car?
Great video thanks for sharing. I have 4 faults that read as such 4:240 639_14P 241:254 639_14P 1:240 639_14P 150: 1 2023_14P

Reminds me of my second wife, had to choke er to get er going but she was got old so at 50 I swapped her out for 2 25s I guess I could have gone with a 20 and a 30 or a 35 & a 15 , did I say wife, I meant truck! ...but seriously, I had a similar situation, started the engine and the voltmeter went up and up and pegged so we pulled the reg and alt and took it to someone in Sacratomato who took one look and said "you got a ford alternator and a Chrysler regulator, that'll never work!" Lesson here is "never assume anything"!
Hello There I have a 2003 International 4300 tow truck and i have 2 codes 613_14A and 2023_14D. Any hekp would be appreciated. Thanks!
You are so dumb. 1. Frying your meter plugging in 110v in ohm mode. 2. Changing settings on meter with 110v plugged in.
boss i have a truck just like yours could you tell me where is the engine brake on the international 2007 automatic transmission thank you
What engine do you have?

Hey my guy I have a 2014 international pro star and I have never noticed the power turn off switch under the fire extinguisher before I will look for it and try what your video showed me to do, I had it cleared once by a guy who had a little devise hooked to his phone some kind of way and it cleared it only to come back later on however I have been running with it on and my readings on my dash are alright the check engine light just stays on not flashing or anything however the triangle symbol shows up flashes a while the also stays lit and it does this often however does not affect the power of the engine or performance what could you suggest to do as I am mechanically inclined to do what i can do before taking it to a shop.
Didn't show how to test regulator ,you just showed that you needed to use the choke to fire up the machine.
Can u still help with the codes
Whats your email
Please help me know these codes
It will clear the codes marked with a (p) (past codes) wont clear the A codes (active)
I have a truck that doesn't shift gears code's are 000612 spn. 14 fmi
I have a 2017 Lonestar & when I turn the engine on it is showing GI on the display, what does that mean? I tried what is on this video but it’s not telling me anything
The reason you can not clear them is because they are ACTIVE codes. The left turn signal and top button procedure will clear them if they are inactive.
Thanks, great explanation. I wish my fuse box was that simple…
That was probably what, 2 , 3 gallons?
👍👍
I have a electrical fault light on also truck and trailer abs lights on, with the following codes SPN: 2011 FMI:9 OC:110 SA:23/SPN:2011 FMI:9 OC:1 SA:33/ SPN:2642 FMI:5 OC:1 SA:33/. SPN:3981 FMI:2 OC:2 SA:33/ SPN: 524285 FMI:14 OC:1 SA:150/ SPN: 520211 FMI:7 OC: 126 SA:58/ SPN:524285 FMI: 14 OC: 1 SA:150; I really need to get my abs working before Inspections and electrical fault would be nice also. Thanks
Thanks for this video. I have a 2005 Nissan XTerra Off Road. The battery just went out of warranty (3 Years), and it goes dead over night. It just started doing it suddenly. At first I thought it was because I left a wireless phone charger connected to one of the power outlets (my phone has a bad charging port). I tested exactly as you did with my Fluke 87 meter. I'm getting .160 - .170 amp draw. When I turn on the dome light it goes up to .6 - .7 amps. I've pulled every fuse - inside and under the hood and not a single one reduces the draw. I'm wondering if there could be anything going on inside the battery it's self that could cause that low draw. If you have any suggestions, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Thanks can tell me what is this code: SPN 729
Thats about how many passes it would take for me to get bored of it.
Now that was fabulous!
That helps...all I see is Prev Active codes
These codes are rather useless without a website to find out what they mean, no ????
I have 3 fault codes 150:1 2023_14P; 1: 3 613_ 14A and 5:3 2033_ 14P Check Engine light comes up during start sometimes check AC comes on. Check Engine light has been staying on longer and longer
B******* don't work
I just did my king pins on my semi truck i think they did it way to tight the truxk darts everywhere and i over steer alot...anything i can do
Re shim it so that it's not so tight
Great vid, thanks for the info. I'm using a fluke a little different than yours, I looked in my manual and it says run the negative lead on the com and positive on 10A. Is this where you are hooked up on yours? Also mine shows an ac/dc option, which do I want to use?
CAR batteries are DC ..
Thanks Fred!
I had tried without success using a cheaper multimeter then remembered I had a Fluke tucked away. Worked great, found my draw. It was my glove box light.
I read codes like you showed in your video we are showing a 639 Dash 14 P 5 98 Dash 14 P 6 25 Dash 14 P 6 12 Dash 14 3639 Dash 14 P 6 13 Dash14
