Great and fast finding As a MAZDA tech my self for the past 25 years never saw this three codes together at the same time I do know about the TSB related to restrictions on the evap system. On late mazda 6s has a recall due to restrictions on the evap system hose from vent valve to vent filter due to spider web accumulated inside the hose.take in mind that dealer techs works under pressure environment for example they give you a repair order with similar problem and ask you around how long it’s going to take because customer is waiting.15 minutes later the ask you if you got any answers yet. That is one of the main reasons a lot of dealers tech just guess and go for the parts cannon.I can tell that I considered my self a lot better diagnostician out side the dealer when I do side diagnostic jobs.most of todays dealer techs got in mind that they has to produce minimum 10 hr a day no matter what. My personal opinion. Thank for sharing your knowledge good job
Interesting real world facts! Maybe the solution would be for the customers not wait for their vehicles. Have an appointment and allow the technician time to properly do their work!
I agree with you Is not like it take us days weeks or months to figure it out But at least let us do what we supposed to do witch is fixed right the first time
Great video, Ivan! The title could be "How a poorly designed plastic vent can lead to a parts cannon failure"! Another case of "one less part required", even recommended by manufacturer 🙂
Ivan, somehow you have raised the bar. This wasn’t just No Parts Required repair. This was a TAKE A PART OFF repair technically. This is peak level PHD people.
Great job and video, Ivan! I've been a tech for over 25 years and while I never went to school for automotive repair, I have taken a lot of the OE trainings offered over the years. The first thing practically every time they tell you, regardless of make, is to check service info. TSB's, SSM's, code setting criteria, system function etc. Great job that you did just that.
It was nice of the customer to write the short note thanking you for your expertise. I bet I know where he takes to car when it needs some type of service again. You are the man for repairs, Ivan.
I have the same camera, the owner has it setup wrong. Mine draws less than 50mA. When its actively recording with the screen on it draws a bit of power. The screen can be set to turn off automatically after 30 seconds or a minute. He can also turn on park mode which reduces power consumption when the engine isn't running by only recording when something happens. Its another case of needing to read and research before throwing parts at a problem. I can go weeks without killing my Tiny Honda Battery (TM). I will say its worth it, saved me $2k on a hit and run in a parking lot.
Thanks for saving me all that typing because I was gearing up to say basically the same thing. . That's a great camera that's simply not installed and setup correctly.
Nice work Ivan! I had stumbled onto that same issue once before a few months ago. The customer brought in his own canister and asked me to replace it. I didn't diagnose it then. Only confirmed his suspicions when I checked before and after repair readings. The car was showing me the same signs as this one. And after replacing the canister, all seemed fine. Customer came back a couple of days later with the money light on again. Same problem. He asked me if I can diagnose it and hopefully fix it. After poking around a bit, I find that little nipple was blocked solid. So, I just ran a brill bit through it. Problem solved. No parts required. LOL
Nice! My policy is usually diagnose first before replacing parts even if the customer already has it on hand. Makes it easier to return if it's not required 😉
@@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics I would have to agree with you 100%. But when you work for someone else and your employer rejects your input (the customer was very adamant about his decision) and tells you to do this and not that, what else can you say? Right or wrong, you give the customer what they want, and are willing to pay for. Some people just prefer to learn the hard way I suppose.
Great diag with common sense and use of the TSB being the key. It seems like a tee fitting placed inline would be a good thing then you can leave the poorly designed nipple hooked up and let the water drip out of the open port of the tee. Just a thought. Thanks so much Ivan for all your great lessons and your dedication to your customers who are lucky to have found you.
Sure agree on the + feedback, but not on the inspections. Though there are for sure some things that are questionable to say the least, can You even imagine what some people would be driving with no inspections whatsoever?
I run dashcams in my vehicles and my suggestion for your customer is to make sure he has the park mode settings right. I also have mine powered through a voltage monitor that will completely shut the power off to the camera once it gets to a certain level so the vehicle will still start. Thank you for another great video!
I was a Mazda tech when these cars were brand new. There was a recall for the fuel tank filler pipe cracking at the tank where it's plastic welded. If it failed the test it was replaced. Can't wait to see if that's it.
enough said people will drive hrs or have their vehicle towed to get the right diag from the master diag technical expert, just amazing to watch u and Dr O do the right fix time after time, kudos and thanks for posting
That worked out great Ivan! Sometimes we beat the Dragon! Great video showing the plugged vent line at the "mounting" point. Unless the instructions differ, I think that camera needs to be plugged into a "switching" battery power.
Great job, I hope the shops that have done the work get to see your videos and can be thankful to see the fix. Keep your customer feedback coming I have thought lots of times how great full they are
I'm half tempted to skip to the end to see if this is another 3 part miniseries. I have started waiting until the last video drops and only watching that one- if I remember to watch.
I can't help but to think the factory TSB was off a bit on their diagnosis. I'd bet the problem most of the time is a plugged nipple. The cutting of the hose to fresh air trick resolved it but I feel they got there the wrong way.
Either cut the hose and have the car fixed permanently or clean the nipple, have it clog again, and have an upset customer back in the shop for the same problem.
Ivan, of course that was an amazing find. What amazes me as well is the "Engineering" surrounding that "Reference System". The tube, the clips, the insertion nipple... if ever there was a "Brother-In-Law" design, that has to be it... The engineers BIL owns a company that supplies all the parts required for that reference system. Sell 500K cars, $5 - $6 worth of parts, plus aftermarket sales and that's an easy multimillion dollar contract, with kick-backs... !!!!
Some dash cams have a "parking mode" where they run while the car is parked to catch parking lot incidents. However, an auxiliary battery would be a good idea.
It's nice to have the TSB to show the common issues with that. Go from there. Great diagnosis and simple fix!!! If we all had tsb integrated to the scanner. That would prevent parts cannon and to many problems along the way!! World would be easier lol. Great job Ivan! 👏
Ivan that is one of the main reasons myself and others don't trust dealership and most mechanics. There is no research done before changing parts, even when the majority of them have access to service bulletins and scan tools. It's not their money they're spending. ✌🏻
The Dash Cam may have a ''Shut down with Ignition off '' option. My Nextbase has this option, ''Always on, Movement Sensor, or Ignition shut down'' It may be worth a look in the cameras menu settings,
it most likely didnt need any parts it pays to take the time to learn how things work and operate you proove tht out on all your videos . thts why i enjoys watching you you make a good teacher to a old tech like me . when i was first out of school i was asked to look at a 1985 chevy camero with hesitation and check engine lite on. was a map sensor code all it was was water in low part of the vacuum line i blew it out removes the dip in line . the early days of diagnostics where everything was a was on four wheels lol the scope the vat40 lol
Interesting to see a TSB on it - I would have thought that would be a good starting place before firing the cannon, and this one gave you the direction in which you did find the problem. Obviously while scan data is important, there needs to be a first step of research before going full parts tilt!
Ivan that what you called nipple that was in the frame seams strange , I wounded if it was a back flow device it would interesting to know seems strange to have just a thru connector. Good video enjoy your approach to problem solving
You could put a small filter into that tube to prevent dirt buildup - use the filter element from a cigarette, cut down to fit just enough to stay in place.
There’s a TSB out on some Grand Marquis for spiders building webs in the vent tubes causing an evap code. I had one of them come in and proceeded to find and evict some spiders. The customer returned for maintenance a few months later so that was a confirmed fix.
During the 1960's there was a vent on Mustangs which bees would like to plug with dirt to build a nest. I remember some mechanic diagnosing it on a call in radio show. Those were the days when cars were simple & you didn't have to be an electrical engineer to fix them. Of course, they were death traps in accidents compared to todays cars and light trucks. Seat belts, airbags, and crumple zones saved millions of lives since then.
2 minutes in, I am leaning towards a wiring issue, possibly near a connector. The "it got better for a while" sort of thing makes me think that replacing the purge solenoid may have been an action that disturbed it enough to make a better connection for a while, but in the end it has once again wiggled until it's either under reporting or not keeping proper control.
A cigarette lighter adapter socket that is powered all of the time combined with a 12-volt USB power adapter will result in the vehicle's battery being drained to the point of a no-start. The customer may want to consider using a VIOFO hardwiring kit which is the proper way to power that dash camera in parking mode. The VIOFO hardwire kits have a user configurable low voltage cutoff feature to stop powering the dash camera when the vehicle's voltage level drops below a predetermined voltage level. If the customer is trying to record events that take place while the vehicle is parked for an extended period of time, he may want to consider using a dash camera battery pack to provide the power to a VIOFO hardwire kit which then powers the dash camera. The dash camera power load will be isolated to the dash camera battery pack (while parked).
I think it’s brilliant the way all theses other so called mechanic’s fire the parts canon at a job and are Incapable of finding the problem, but you using common sense along with you Knowledge and methodical way of tracing faults saves pounds in the end your country dollars sorry brilliant job as usual Iven keep up the great work👍😀
Ivan, I realize the fact that after market crap that we put on the cars is causing most of our P. draw but we need to have them. Why these companies don't make them better? I guess this customer got to know Ivan the Man. Great. I got a Bulgarian Ivan, its my mechanic, he finds 99% of the car faults, without firing the Parts Cannon. Funny thing, every Christmas or New Year, I give him a bottle of Whiskey as a present, to show him my appreciation for the repairs during the Year. With my Honda now I see less and less of him. And even funnier, I go to him just to talk and gossip now but not because the car is broke. Funny thing that is!
Nice to see another NPR (Negative/No Parts Required) repair. The dashcam should be plugged into a socket that is ignition fed tather than permanent power. No wonder it was drawing power.
Ivan, l'd be great if you can make a video talking about all the tools you use. I know some people wouldn't want to or maybe you've already done it. Either way, I love your videos.
I thought the same thing. A camera always on, will always cause a parasitic draw. The accessory socket on that car is permanently live. Some vehicles have an option for a different fuse position, to make it come on only with the ignition on.
I am getting the same p0451 code for my 2019 cx-5, will have to check my hose, Mazda wants 299 to diagnose plus parts, soak me for a new cannister or sensor I probably don't need!
Nice video and great approach to diagnosing the problem. If you don’t have a proper scan tool and a source like Alldata or Mitchell you are way behind. Also you need to know how to use said scan tool and know how to do research on a problem.
The dashcam is supposed to a) Be plugged in to a socket that switches on with accessories, not "always on" b) hard wired with a battery protecting module that will cut the power at voltage threshold or a timer c) Programmed to turn itself off after no movement for a time. Nearly all have an internal capacitive battery that will record at least 30 seconds if an impact is sensed when switched off. Bonus comment: I wont fit these to BMWs, I have been bitten by BMW's excessively protective vehicle electrical monitoring system before.
Spooky, I have an almost identical setup: same gen 2.5L Mazda3 with a Viofo dual dash cam. Tip for the owner, you can get a 12v-to-5v cable that piggybacks off the rearview mirror's power, which is only active when the car is running or cranking. Been using mine for over 3 years now, no issues. You won't have parking mode, but you also won't have a dead battery 👍
@@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics he might have the cam set up wrong, it should use way less power when in parking mode - might just be in regular recording mode 24/7. Either way, he can pick up one of those battery-protecting hardwire kits, Amazon has a few for under 20 bucks.
FYI many states will pass EPA test if evap is the only test not ready (no active evap code or mil) We've used this as a hack.to get older vehicles pass test
You could throw a tiny vent hose filter on there and shove the thing into the big hole in the frame and goop it up to prevent any moisture, dirt, debris, and junk from getting sucked into the vent hose. If I remember correctly, this helps the purge solenoid release vacuum when its being actuated by the computer. This was a fix on my honda civic where the vent tube was sucking in (only a tiny puff at a time) salt, brine, and water into the purge solenoid eventually destroying it over the course of a northern Michigan winter. I finally read on a forum that the person bought a small vent tube vent filter and attached it to the hose, and shoved it back into the frame hole and gooping it up. This is federally mandated, designed, and botched onto your new car in the factory so one of the common reasons these systems fail in northern climates and I would presume everywhere else where the car is being driven down dirt roads all the time.
@@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics I was looking for why taking the gas cap off didn't change the pressure. I didn't understand it was just a reference pressure hose. Thanks!
Cylinder leakage test would have found it quicker. An old tech once told me,you can throw all the components on an engine you want,if it not good mechanically it won't fix it
Your a great mechanic, many others should aspire to be like you. I know I certainly do
I love this work and thank you for your support! 🙂

Great work, Ivan. Is it me or does it seem to you that the EVAP system of these modern cars have a million ways to set a trouble code?
Yeah this system was pretty basic but definitely set some weird codes 😅
Brilliant! And now the hose end has a little flop so dust and debris will just fall out.
well damn the evap problem was too simple mind blown
A filter on the end of the hose may be in order,
I think its time for a lift in your garage!
@T.J. Kong yea since the hose is small I was thinking of a sintered bronze one
Might need it outside to get enough lift we need to get him some extra $$$ to buy one.
Should have had a one way valve on the drain hose from the factory just off the canister.Cheers Ivan.
Nice to see another NPR (Negative/No Parts Required) repair. The dashcam should be plugged into a socket that is ignition fed tather than permanent power. No wonder it was drawing power.
Ivan, l'd be great if you can make a video talking about all the tools you use. I know some people wouldn't want to or maybe you've already done it. Either way, I love your videos.
Nice diag, again no parts required fix :) Good looking Mazda.
Great diag. Alldata came thru on this one with correct information.
Wow! I guess Mazda is not aware of actual conditions under the car. The approach is sound and definitely cost effective!
great video!!
thank you for the level of detail you go into.
Another happy customer. Well done Ivan! That was too quick though. Maybe show some horses 😂
Hah maybe once it warms up and my wife gives them a bath 😁
I need a mechanic like you in my neck of the woods!
Research is key for these parts canon victims quick accurate and NPR the perfect outcome the three hour drive was worth it.
Gm vehicle’s have same problem with vent, we ran new vent line to front to engine compartment & put a filter on end , solved our evap. problems
"Research" is when the major weapons come out in _Grand Tech Auto!_
Great customer response.
Well done,follow data ,that’s what the ecu sees.
Thanks Ivan!
Nice find my friend.
Great feedback
Thank you for this fix!
Most dashcams have a setup that while the unit is off it can still sense a jolt or movement and then turn on to capture what happened.
Battery for short term ?
Nice find!👍🏼
You could put one of the filters that goes in the gas tank of a weed eater on the end of that hose for insect protection
That dashcam is programmed on 24/7, so it might be adjusted to on only when engine is running.
It's more useful when parked at night in a bad neighborhood lol
I thought the same thing. A camera always on, will always cause a parasitic draw. The accessory socket on that car is permanently live. Some vehicles have an option for a different fuse position, to make it come on only with the ignition on.
I am getting the same p0451 code for my 2019 cx-5, will have to check my hose, Mazda wants 299 to diagnose plus parts, soak me for a new cannister or sensor I probably don't need!
Nice video and great approach to diagnosing the problem. If you don’t have a proper scan tool and a source like Alldata or Mitchell you are way behind. Also you need to know how to use said scan tool and know how to do research on a problem.
Nice work Ivan! Find a switched power feed for the camera? Or put a battery tender on it?
The dashcam is supposed to a) Be plugged in to a socket that switches on with accessories, not "always on" b) hard wired with a battery protecting module that will cut the power at voltage threshold or a timer c) Programmed to turn itself off after no movement for a time.
Nearly all have an internal capacitive battery that will record at least 30 seconds if an impact is sensed when switched off.
Bonus comment: I wont fit these to BMWs, I have been bitten by BMW's excessively protective vehicle electrical monitoring system before.
Nice one dude well done 👍
Great job, thank you
I don't understand how so many small shops don't have access to service info to look up TSBs etc....how do they even function....wait they don't....
Spooky, I have an almost identical setup: same gen 2.5L Mazda3 with a Viofo dual dash cam. Tip for the owner, you can get a 12v-to-5v cable that piggybacks off the rearview mirror's power, which is only active when the car is running or cranking. Been using mine for over 3 years now, no issues. You won't have parking mode, but you also won't have a dead battery 👍
He primarily uses it for parking mode lol
New cars no longer have "accessory" power ....who made that decision ?
@@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics he might have the cam set up wrong, it should use way less power when in parking mode - might just be in regular recording mode 24/7. Either way, he can pick up one of those battery-protecting hardwire kits, Amazon has a few for under 20 bucks.
FYI many states will pass EPA test if evap is the only test not ready (no active evap code or mil) We've used this as a hack.to get older vehicles pass test
When all else fails, read the instruction. :D
Wow what the? What a great design 😅. Factory fix might as well just be cut the hose off
Way to go, Ivan
Great fault finding. Perhaps relocating the vent hose might help??
You could throw a tiny vent hose filter on there and shove the thing into the big hole in the frame and goop it up to prevent any moisture, dirt, debris, and junk from getting sucked into the vent hose. If I remember correctly, this helps the purge solenoid release vacuum when its being actuated by the computer. This was a fix on my honda civic where the vent tube was sucking in (only a tiny puff at a time) salt, brine, and water into the purge solenoid eventually destroying it over the course of a northern Michigan winter. I finally read on a forum that the person bought a small vent tube vent filter and attached it to the hose, and shoved it back into the frame hole and gooping it up. This is federally mandated, designed, and botched onto your new car in the factory so one of the common reasons these systems fail in northern climates and I would presume everywhere else where the car is being driven down dirt roads all the time.
Luckily this little hose is just reference pressure, no flow just needs to breathe 😁
@@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics I was looking for why taking the gas cap off didn't change the pressure. I didn't understand it was just a reference pressure hose. Thanks!
Just a little plugged up hose. If you knew the hose you would not put the hose up your nose baby O's Good job keep it up.
TSB makes me wonder if NPR is even an option at a dealer?
Cylinder leakage test would have found it quicker. An old tech once told me,you can throw all the components on an engine you want,if it not good mechanically it won't fix it
Best kind of fix
