Eric O of South Main Auto brought me here. Thank you for presenting such an informative and understandable lesson about OBDII modes. The generic OBDII mode codes were confusing to me, especially with the "code not supported" messages in several places. As a result, I hardly ever looked at them. After watching this video and the next one, Trainer #63, they make more sense.
I have watched a lot of similar videos and I have to say I tend to forget what most try to teach. When I watch you I seem to pay attention and remember more. Your method of teaching and explaining is awesome. You are appreciated.
Thank you so, so much Professor. I love your expression ( ... clearing the code like bleaching the crime scene....) How great teacher you are. Hats lift up for your Excellency. Kind regards.
Hi Pete. Nice videos. I am a retired powertrain diagnostic engineer and like keeping current and enjoy your channel. I wonder and maybe you will cover this in the future videos, does the EScan Pro (ESN2000) or any other aftermarket scan tool have bi-directional capabilities? ie: command relays/solenoids, injectors, ... ON/OFF? Thanks.
The EScan Pro does not offer bi-directional controls. But it does offer unique features as a drivability diagnostic tool. Check it out here: www.automotivetestsolutions.com/escan-pro.html And there are several aftermarket tools that do offer bi-directional controls, as part of the "enhanced" OEM specific mode. Typically, you pay for it by genre; domestic, Asian, European. Some are more capable than others. Or you could look at full factory capability. Many OEMs are moving to online software that works with a J-2534 PassThru device mated to your own laptop. There are some precautions if you intend to use one laptop, though, to host multiple OEM applications. Some don't play well with others. Take a look at this video: ua-cam.com/video/6I7KnkAsLqw/v-deo.html
great information but a question - how can one easily tell if a vehicle is a can vehicle??? especially 1990 to about 2005? after that almost all are or have can lin etc
Most scan tools scan through the various protocols when attempting to connect, so watch that. Another way is to check for communication on the different OBD II pins on the Diagnostic Link Connector. I use a DLC break out box (BOB) that actually flashed LEDs on the comm lines that are active. Service info will tell you, too.
I do have the Autoenginuity tool and have had a lot of success using it as a full function scan tool. I also have the EScan tool and like the fact that the Mode $06 data can be set to refresh - a feature unique to that tool. But both offer a lot more. As always, it comes down to the task at hand and personal preference...
I'm pretty sure they do, but it has been a while since I looked at it. I'm covering those modes in the next edition of The Trainer, so I'll be sure and try them both out there.
The Freeze Frame is a snapshot - taken by the ECM and read by the scan tool. But if you clear codes OR disconnect the battery, it will all be lost. That's why many trainers recommend you take out your phone and take a picture of the data or print it out, prior to clearing codes.
Bought a 04 Tundra - and immediately had Timing Belt and all necessary parts(alt,starter) and a GATES Belt Tensioner….that DIDNT last 5,000 miles….Now GATES - is denying The Claim! Over $3,000 Damage - from a Faulty GATES Belt Tensioner.

What about re learning ?
Hi Pete, great info video!! Do you have the autoenginuity? Which is better for mode 6 Escan or autoenginuity as per your personal preference?
I do have the Autoenginuity tool and have had a lot of success using it as a full function scan tool. I also have the EScan tool and like the fact that the Mode $06 data can be set to refresh - a feature unique to that tool. But both offer a lot more. As always, it comes down to the task at hand and personal preference...
Does autoenginuity translates the mode 6 and sets the green-yellow-red or that is only on the Escan? Thanks for responding
I'm pretty sure they do, but it has been a while since I looked at it. I'm covering those modes in the next edition of The Trainer, so I'll be sure and try them both out there.
Thx I look forward for your next video!!
can anybody explain to me what is the dash number following the dtc code exp. U1000-13 , thank you
Didn't Hillary use Bleach bit to erase all that stuff from her server,makes allot of sense.
Why can't a scanner take a snapshot of the freeze frame data and store it?
The Freeze Frame is a snapshot - taken by the ECM and read by the scan tool. But if you clear codes OR disconnect the battery, it will all be lost. That's why many trainers recommend you take out your phone and take a picture of the data or print it out, prior to clearing codes.
ramdodgetruck a lot of scam tools can store data and save graphs mine can but it cost 2500
How can we know if our vehicle is a control area network can I have a 99 Ford Taurus at is that a can control area network
Short ans6...No, it's not. Notice what communication protocol your scan tool uses to connect.
