Ive worked on cars my whole life but my electrical diagnostics have been limited to just using multimeters and test lights until recently. Within the past couple of years Ive learned alot teaching myself diag using scopes and scan tools. Ive upgraded my tools, using better leads and accessories for my meters. I have an inexpensive BOB off amazon. Made alot of custom accesories using silicone wire and banana jacks and aligator clips. I have the hantek with the hscope app and a ds212 pocket scope as well. Most of these tools are inexpensive compared to pro level tools. Doesnt take much to get started. I really enjoy your videos. Very well explained info and easy to watch. Cheers
Thanks for the kind words. I really do like working on cars I just wish I had more time and space to do it! And the electrical diags always intrigued me so that's good I got started with it by watching UA-cam videos. You're completely right. It doesn't take much to get started just a little bit and you'll see how it goes in it to get easier and easier.
I'm right there with you. I've been changing parts on my own vehicles for 20 years and now I'm ready to learn the diagnostic portion of it. I look forward to more of your videos
Yes hios channel ios the main one I watch for diags, but there are many others such as South Main Auto and Advanced Diagnostics, just to name a couple.
I too have an interest in electrical diagnostics and am beginning to learn as well. I have been watching Ivan on pine hollow auto diagnostics on UA-cam... if you have not seen that channel you really need to check it out. I believe he is one of the best in the business... thanks for the vid
Yes Chuck, I decided to go ahead and invest in a fluke. It will probably last me the rest of my life, which I'm pretty happy about that. I do still have my $20 multimeter but it'll be more or less just used as a backup in case if I ever need a backup.
The ocsilliscope (picoscope) measures voltages in real time to graph them. The breakout box connects to your OBDII port and each hole represents one of the sixteen pins on the OBDII port making it easier to probe.

Thanks, and yes I watch Ivan, and South Main Auto the most. Hope you get into electrical diags!
Yo Chris,
8:16 I like that FLUKE 17B+.
I have an old Fluke 115 from 2007 still going strong. lol

I've got a $9 multimeter that is almost as accurate as my 115. lol
I use it to confirm, and verify certain things.
@@PanzerPlatform Nice! That's a good idea. I can use it as a double checker!
What you not tell people is that most vehicles today has multiple terminal resistor and cannot be tested at the DLC “NOT COOL”
What does this thing do? I don't have time to watch the video to understand.

Did you finally get time to watch the video?
