    I just want everybody to know that the fundamental principles of how all manufacturers ecm's work is the same. Understanding how all modules just put a certain voltage out, and read voltages back in.. and how this principle just repeats itself over and over again. This will allow you to understand how All control modules work.

      @@liljamesjames1884 I agree it can definitely get way more complicated. But from an automotive diagnosis perspective even a digital relay or digital sensors at some point will revert that Digital Signal back into a DC analog signal. Usually the digital aspect of a control module is only to fly by wire or communicate over vast distances.

      @@BrockTemple87
      Step 1
      Turn the ignition switch to the on position but do not start the car. Count three seconds and then press the gas pedal to the floor and let it up five times in five seconds or less.
      Step 2
      Count seven seconds, depress the gas pedal and hold it down for 10 seconds or until the service engine soon light begins flashing. Lift the pedal and begin to make a note of the codes. Each code will be a series of four numbers. Count the flashes from one to 10, 10 being 0. This will be the first number, then there will be a short pause of around a half second and it will begin flashing the second number. After the fourth number is flashed there will be a longer pause and the computer will flash the next fault code, if there is more than one. If there is only one fault code it will simply keep repeating this code. If the computer keeps flashing a 10 code, this means that there are no fault codes. After retrieving the codes turn the ignition off.
      Step 3
      Cross-reference the fault codes with the code sheet for a description of the problem. Repair the problem before attempting to reset the computer.
      Erase the codes and reset the computer, which will turn the light off, by repeating the first two steps, but when the light begins flashing, hold the gas pedal down until it stops flashing and turn the key off. The computer has now been reset.

    Came across this video but i dont know if your still reaponding since it so old, i have a 2002 maxima se 3.5 that continues to give me a battery light with a brake light and an abs light and goes into limp mode pretty much NO throttle response and it wont go over like 3 mph, we have done an alternator, battery, crankshaft sensor, spark plugs, ignition coils; throttle body, a wheel bearing in the front right that was bad, ive looked at abs sensor data, crank and cam data, charging data, it has no check engine light and no codes, i did notice that when the car goes into limp mode the alternator charges the battery from 14.2 to over 15 volts. At one point the three lights that i mentioned in the beginning battery brake and abs where flickering on then off when i would high rev it by stabing the accelerator pedal and as soon as the rpms settled back down they went away, i turn off the car then turn it back on they go away, but come back after a bit of driving…im stumped on were to look next, if you see this please i can send you my phone number so that you can contact me, im just at a loss of where to start next

    • @karlwashere123
      @karlwashere123  3 роки тому

      I have to use the smallest push wire couplings I can find. And try to only do the family of wires I need. The ECU is a nightmare. The wad of wires coming out of the back is almost not worth approaching. I do everything under hood and as close to the part as possible because once you get to the back of the ECU it's almost impossible to move. That's why I test these things at the pedal and at the throttle body and at the mass airflow sensor because getting any closer to the ECU gets well you know

    • @nickjohnso
      @nickjohnso 3 роки тому +1

      And then you push the multimeter into the couplings?
      Yeah, I imagine doing things at the ECU is a pain... your advice is awesome, so i think what I'm going to do is clear it (pedal dance) than read the codes when they come back, verify them with your voltage investigation suggestions.

    Sorry for the long message in advance but can you just read it I think you have my answer to my problem and just want to be 100% sure so I don’t buy a transmission next So just to make sure im understanding this correct because I’m actually having this same issue and literally just paid for a valve body assembly cause I did get the code but I got a fuel code first then replaced fuel pump then got idle code changed throttle body the got a pressure solenoid A code which is why I’m now buying the valve body I had a friend connect his snap on computer and then got a list of codes first code to come up is ecu comm. and then I found your video so basically what your saying is each code that came up I need to check them and see if voltage matches manufacture spec that’s in the manual and whichever one that doesn’t is the one causing the shortage throwing it in limp mode. I apologize for the long message but watching your video is the only one that makes sense cause I thought I needed to get a new transmission but the car doesn’t get stuck shifting caus I throw it in manual and shift threw the gears like that because usually I’m able to keel it outta limp mode that way until I stop then I get put in limp mode and have to restart my car every time

      So if you go into "EC" or engine control manual. The beginning of the 2000s to 2011 they're all the same. If you're willing to look through the engine control manual for your car's you will find the wiring diagram for the mass air flow sensor. This will allow you to color correct your wire harness. It's only six wires.

    I have a 2004 Nissan quest and I’m assuming limp mode is what happened to me today where it wouldn’t go over 2000 RPM and it would drive. I put the $20 scan tool which I actually came back and told me that crankshaft position sensor one was faulty or something and also sensor. now I have like six codes after limp mode with the weirdest things on it some of them say manufacturer control P1800. She bought this minivan when I sold my Cadillac because I couldn’t drive since I had fractured my back. it’s her dream car and I hate seeing her cry because I was in bed unable to get up and she bought it from this deceiving man on Facebook who won’t help he takes the car to get it fixed within the first weeks it was already running bad. To top it off they wound up crashing the bumper at the mechanics shop. The man said it was like that but he had sent a pic with mechanics looking in engine bay and bumper was perfect. the man just popped up the dent. Sorry to rant I’m just angry at how he took advantage of a girl thinking she won’t do anything. I’m taking him to court if he does not reimburse money.
    Sorry for me venting. I have just one question. I got the van for $2000 and I want to believe that it can be fixed but seeing how much frustration the commenters and yourself are going through makes me want to just sell it and lose thousand dollars worth of money. I saw your comment on how to reset the EC you to get it out of the limo I will try that see if it works. It also gave me today with the random mother six coats it said random misfire in one of the cylinders because it’s a $20 scan to I’m assuming that’s why it doesn’t tell you which one. I will subscribe like and share thank you so much God bless

    • @karlwashere123
      @karlwashere123  3 роки тому

      Very few codes will actually send the car into safe mode. It's usually a fuel or drive train issue. A crankshaft position sensor will make the car run absolutely horrible. If you have a bad crankshaft position sensor the engine light will flash. And will be difficult to start and backfire if it chooses to run it all. And I don't trust $300 code readers. I definitely wouldn't trust the $20 one. Similarly to what I described a $20 code reader would only tell you what circuit is getting low values. So it would kind of point you in a direction to what system has the low value but wouldn't point to the specific one. A tip I can give you is just know that things that are on the same pin circuit tend to have the same connector style. when you familiarize yourself with Nissan engines you'll notice you'll be able to tell what system something is on just by the shape of its connector. Good luck..

    We have a 2010 Sentra throwing a P0101 and P0603. Originally it was telling us the ECU was bad (code said it was losing communication with ECU) which was confirmed by ECU specialist. We were able to replace the ECU got it recoded and the car now starts and runs however it is still throwing these other two codes mentioned above and once you drive the car it will hit the rev limiter at roughly 2000 rpms and has little to no acceleration. I have done the pedal dance and replaced the MAF and we are still having the same issues. Do you have any advice or pointers on where to look next?
