    Just some Fyi for anyone who get the yellow (not ready im light) If you erase the codes, the car's ecm resets all the monitors. You have to do a drive cycle so the ecm can test the monitors and check them off as ok. If you go through a inspection without the monitors okayed by the ecm, you will fail the emissions part. You can google how to do a drive cycle for your particular vehicle.

    Spirit Lake? Greetings from Davenport WA, pretty much an Apple's toss away.
    Can't live in northern states without the obligatory subaru.. my 2000 outback, referred to as the Mighty Subaru has pulled more rocks and bucked more stumps and hauled more wood than half the trucks around our little ol farming community. I have the same reader and needed to regroup because most of the time my rigs are too old for a fancy, fancy reader. With the Mighty Subaru being worked so hard needless to say the "check engine before I don't run no more", light came on.

      I don't know definitively if GM stopped 3rd party usage or not, but several third party auto repair shop mechanics told me that they cannot perform diagnostics because GM prohibits 3rd party. I know GM uses a device called "Multiple Diagnostics Interface (MDI)", which more information about the scanners that GM dealers use is found at www.oemtools.com/homeproducts/generalmotors.html The OEM website is either owned or part of the CAS of New England Inc., which I believe is affiliated with this website www.vehicleservicepros.com/A Cadillac dealership in Houston used the MDI on my truck. I am trying to fix my driver power seat problem.

      Argh! The prairie dog hole goes deep and then he pops its' head up in another hole i.e., that is how I feel in my research about OBD 2 Scanners and troubleshooting both my driver's power seat problem and airbag light. I visited a local O'Reilly's Auto Store to inquire if they still offer the free OBD 2 DTC scan; yes they do provide a courtesy DTC Scanning service with the the Bosch OBD1300. Kyle (young, friendly and very knowledgeable) at O'Reilly's scanned my truck and no diagnostic trouble codes were identified during the scan. I inquired if the Bosch OBD1300 is operating according to its specs. I was partially satisfied because according to the scan results, my truck didn't report any DTC's. Only after I browsed the Bosch website with my tablet we determined that the scan is accurate according to the settings for a basic factory 2005 GMC Sierra 1500: I could not find the profile settings for the 6.0L, so I have more homework to complete before I resolve my problems.

    Nothing beats the CEN-TEC 60694.After a few months.they realized they put a PRO SCANNER on the shelf.Your updates you can still get on a $2000 dollar one they sell.The best hidden secret at Harbor Freight.I have 18 PIDS it checks.It can do custom things if you want it done to your engine.It has graph to monitor while driving.It has a play system.It can print out you codes and tells you what the code is and doing.It is Euro OBDI AND OBDII.If anyone has one please send me the software in a PDF file.It will help you save gas by using the transmission part of it and change the s j lifting points.It looks just like the 60693 It is really only suppose to be a diagnostic tuner.I figured it out the hard way I raced cars for a few years and at the track waiting for things to get started I hook it up to my 2014 Ford SUV Unlimited.I have it on live graph.I get to one paid and it was the RPMSso I hit the up button just to see if anything happens.Well it was reading like 850 RPMS.pushing the up button I see and hear the engine go up .Well I stopped there to read up more.All the RPM. PID WAS ALSO THE ADVANCE TIMING..My wife comes home the next day and tells me her SUV overheated on the way to work and on the way home.Well I knew exactly what I did.That along comparing it with other that don't come close in doing what it can for under $90.00 I figure someone messed up and put the wrong prices on them .Dont know but they were all pulled of shelf about a moth or 2 after I bought mine.You can still buy them but be carefully the are from individuals.

    • @BSDGuyShawn
      @BSDGuyShawn  7 років тому

      +Travis Turner that would do it for sure. Mine ended up being low oil. The oil control valves for the variable valve timing weren't able to adjust the timing the way the computer was telling it too. This car has issues for sure. It has over 300k miles and goes through spurts of oil consumption that leave me scratching my head at times. I probably have some broken ring lands or something.

    • @travisturner6783

    I see nothing in your video showing how to diagnose a misfire. Someone let me borrow a Cen-tech scanner, @98614. I have not plugged it in yet, but did read through the manual. I see no specifics on how to diagnose a firing problem, or how to check individual cylinders / coils for firing problems. Car is a 2004 Marquis, and recently has had all plugs replaced twice, one brand new coil, other coils have less than 11,000 miles. New Idle air control valve, new throttle position sensor, new fuel pump. Had the throttle body cleaned. Last two times after the mechanic worked on it, I drive about 60 miles and the engine light comes on, rough idle at stops after approx. 25 seconds, rough acceleration, occasional shuddering on acceleration.

    • @BSDGuyShawn
      @BSDGuyShawn  3 роки тому +2

      Once you plug the cen-tech in you should be able to see/pull the diagnostic trouble codes. A P030X would be an example of a misfire code. The X would be replaced with the cylinder the misfire occurred in. P0304 would be a misfire on cylinder 4.

      I just finished a scan with this Cen-tech scanner. It gives me a PO355 $10. I looked that up, and it says that is the #5 coil. That was the coil that was just replaced, so it has less than 500 miles on it.
      The previous coil (and the remaining coils) had about 11,000 miles. After using this scanner, I guess it's a good thing I didn't buy one, since it really doesn't tell me what's going on. With so many new parts on this car, there must be something else causing the problem. I may have to take the car to a Ford dealer, which i detest, after the last hosing I took from Lorenzo Ford. 650 dollars to replace a fuel pump on a 77 Cougar. Basically a two hour job. 150 of that was for the initial "find out what's wrong". 75 dollars for the fuel pump, and 425 labor. The dealer would not tell me what their hourly rate is. Ford customer service was as lethargic.

    If anybody has a 60694 CEN TEC you can use them for programming and not just a diagnostic code reader.I was sitting in my wife's 2012 Ford SUV Exp Unlimited.With it plugged in and on live graph or monitor.I went to the RPM and it was reading 837 RPM so I decided to push the up button and noticed the cars rooms were going up with every push of the button.I stopped and went to timeing.I knew not to advance it but I was really curious if this $71 diagnostic would change or reprogram what is there.So I pushed the button a couple times didn't notice anything.The next day my wife comes home and tells me he car is overheating.I knew instantly what was wrong.So I went and reversed what I did.SO IF YOU HAVE THE 60694 YOU HAVE MORE THEN WHAT THEY SAY IT IS.IM looking for the software because I can't find my disk 1.I could be wrong .I have never seen 1 change the parameters while driving down the road.That is the Cheap Harbor Freight Can Tec 60694

      There is a misunderstanding about some of these OBDI andOBDII diagnostics and scanners.Even a scanner that will give you codes.That misunderstanding people get is they think that since they erased the code they fixed the problem.It is telling you what parts could be wrong.Like if the code comes up on the O2sensor.Well then you have to decide which O2sensor it is you have 2 on most cars.You might have a check engine light on and don't get a code.Well I'm going to say this it could be 30 things.Lose gas cap,Brake sensor on all 4 wheels take your pick.Alot of these scanners or diagnostics don't have chassis of trans PIDS.Ive seen a light come on because the windshield wiper did not come all the way down so it set off a sensor.The check engine light.The new cars are faster then the technology on the scanner or diagnostics.
