Jason C. I agree. Pure genius! And a nice humble guy! How could anyone thumbs down. If i believed in Karma, it would one day cause the thumbs down people to have a car issue and the mech /tech would have 1/10th of Keith's ability and never stop paying to have the same problem fixed. (Keith would probably slap my fingers for this comment)
HA Ijust came from watching the Jeep video with the PCI issues. I once did this very same diag, It was a busy day and I wasn't in the mood for anything. No start. Literally crawled under the truck unplugged the first box I saw back under the truck and then started it up. Shop owner's jaw dropped and I told him I would be back in a day to program that module. Didn't even plug in a scan tool, didn't even look to see what the module was for.
Excellent, expedient diagnostic work. Thanks again for the sharing (experience). Tech Tip (per Scanner Danner): Consider heat and vibration areas for guidance of fault locations.
Perfect timing, I was in the middle of discussing how your geographic area factors into your diagnostic routine. Then Boom, you pop up with a video explaining how that factors in perfectly. Excellent work as always Keith. Thanks for taking the time to walk us through. 👨🔧
WOW KEITH HOW DID YOU KNOW I REALLY NEEDED A VIDEO , OK MY STRATEGY IS TO QUESTION THE CUSTOMER , THEN CONFIRM THE COMPLAINT , VISUAL INSPECTION , SCAN CHECK THEN START GOING CRAZY . GOOD TO SEE SOME OF US STAY IN CONTROL AND REALLY REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO A NEXT VIDEO MAN UP TO MY EYE BALLS IN NOTHING YOU KNOW YOU GOT MY VOTE MAN !
I love how you let logic based on your knowledge and experience dictate your direction moving forward. I also love how you clearly describe exactly what thought process you use to come to a conclusion. Thank you for this invaluable information. It would take years of experience through trial and error to obtain the information you just shared in less than eight minutes. You are a diagnostic God.
Inspirational stuff. Thanks for taking the time to do these videos. Our industry seems to be moving away from making others look bad to make yourself look good and turning into a community. The old adage of it takes a village to raise a kid is turning into it takes a village to fix a car!
I'm glad you brought up how noisy these GM CAN systems are. I chased my tail on a G5 yrs ago after finding a bad trans module that was pulling down the CAN. To me, the signal was still 'bad'.. Out of desperation, I called the GM tech hotline. Guy asked, Do you have communication now? I said yes. He said Don't worry about it, that's just the way they are. Who knew?
When ever you talk about "process or logic" you have my interest. Having a direction based on experience and how to logically attack a diagnostic issue is invaluable to me, thank you.
man i'm just itching for October when Steve is back on the Long Iland Exspress..He just as well move over to the States...He would have all the work he could handle just doing Land Rovers lol.jk..Great video Keith.
Thanks for making this make sense for me, I have trouble sometimes on where to start and watching you has made this easier to grasp. Thanks for sharing your time, knowledge and videos, I truly appreciate everything you do!!
Nice to see how you approached this Keith. very logical as always and right to the problem. Ignore the two muppets who gave a thumbs down. They didn't have their snickers today. :)
Absolutly amazing man. U make it seem so simple and in a way it is if u can approach it like someone with your knowlege and experience but it take alot of years and dedication to gain thoses valuable tools. Your fun to watch man. Thanks
Thank you Dylan. I really believe it's all about the approach. The cars themselves are throwing us hints when they fail. We just have to listen logically sometimes and not get overwhelmed
Using the same approach Eric has used. Look for the most likely or easiest modules to unplug first. Having a break out box that flashes all the active modules helps also. Nice work.
Thanks. Brother I love you video is 3:30 and I get of my bed i take my keys I went to my car I did exactly what you did and it works 🙏🙏🙏🙏. Thanks brother
If I get 25% as good as you, Keith, I'll be doing damn good! 🍻 Some days I feel like I'll never get a handle on modern vehicles. I got my ass handed to me today by a '00 Jaguar S-Type - had 17 transmission codes, so I figured a slam dunk chaffed wiring issue. Wiring diagrams were completely useless - all numbered with no chart telling what the numbers were. Fuses weren't labeled either! Typical Ford there. Found the owner's manual - fuse was good. Had to shut the camera off and stare at the transmission under the car for a bit. I needed to find where all the wires entered the tranny. BINGO - loose connector (bolt was finger tight!). Repaired the kinked loom (wasn't a problem, but it bugged me), sprayed DeoxIT all over both ends, plugged her back in and tightened the bolt. Now only 1 code - pressure switch A. Cleared and drove 3x, came back every time. Fairly certain it's the switch itself. I almost threw in the towel on this one out of frustration! Glad I stuck with it. Car has 100x more power than it did, and now shifts through all gears, instead of staying in 4th from idle to redline. Also fixed a misfire due to a half dead coil. A partial win.😁 I'll have to see what I can salvage for a video, lol. Lots of bad words flying today! 😬
Great video thanks brother. I like the way you think outside of the box. Great information and fix explanation. Keep up the great work see you in the next video thanks again brother
“Eric isn’t the only one with some rust, we do get it.” Maybe you do get metal worm Keith but not in a 6 month old car that has sat in the dealer showroom all its life.
Absolutely great information! I have high voltage on the canbus over 8 volts with no comms to scan tool. I unplug the abs module, voltage stabilizes to 2.5v, tool connects and vehicle starts and runs normal. Different abs module installed and the exact same issue when plugged back in? What would induce voltage on the network when the abs is plugged in that is not the abs module? Could another module or wire down stream be effected by the abs module plug unplugging? Wiring and plug looks great to the abs. I can also connect to the network with the abs unplugged. Thanks in advance.
That's impressive, straight to the issue and temporarily take it out of the equation. I have a 2010 awd Escalade w/Luxury package. I get the click no start quite a bit, I've narrowed it down to the battery current sensor, by wiggling around the ground cable and smaller gauge ground going to front of the frame from negative battery terminal (engine starts right up). I'm not sure which battery current sensor is supposed to be on my vehicle. There is a 1st design for bcm w/10 volt supply and 2nd design for bcm w/ 5 volt supply . 6.2L flexfuel L94 engine. The part number on the sensor now is for 10volt supply. I'm thinking maybe previous owner put the wrong one on. Yet dealerships cannot confirm which battery current sensor is supposed to be on my Escalade. I'd appreciate any advice you could give me. Thank you.
My Escalade is going crazy but the only problem is it'll go nuts then it's fine for 6 months lol...sucks cause you're always sitting around waiting for it to happen again. Mechanic told me whenever it does bring it straight there so he can check it out.
I'm praying I can get a reply after seeing this vid is 5 years old. 2010 escalade, random no start, 20 codes about canbus etc if I can get it to scan. Multiple shops, thousands of dollars. I'm an ex mechanic and I need to know what this software is!
Keith was thinking of upgrading to this ads 625. Do you know how much updates or subscription is? Also I heard the color diagrams you show here come free with the subscription is that true? Looks like it almost has a pro demand type software built in?
I have this problem! It happens once in a while. All I do is desconect battery for 3 minutes then back to normal until next time I’ll happen again. I think needs to be rescan to find the issue. Thanks
Hello Keith, thank you for this video. i have a 2007 Escalade ESV and it is driving me nuts. i have nearly the same issue. When i will start the car, sometimes there is no crank, no click. When this happens, i can not read the dtc with a scan tool. There is no communication. When i disconnect the battery and wait about 10 min, reconnect the battery, most of the time it will start. But now always after a short time all the gauges will go mad like in your video. The transmission does not shift anymore etc. Can you give me some advice? Thnak you.
Do you know someone near Raleigh or even better fayetteville NC that knows about this stuff? I’m having similar issues on my ‘12 hybrid escalade and the dealer is telling me they can’t even tell me what’s all wrong until they start fixing it.
WOW. That is crazy Keith...first fuse pulled brings the truck back online. I would have been there for HOURS!!
Just had to think it out first . Give me a module exposed and vulnerable to the elements . If it were Euro I'd be under the carpets immediately 🙂
Who gave this a thumbs down 😡😡😡. This is pure genius Maestro
2 jealous people
@@ssrbob - 2 A-holes!
Oh I think we know who it is....
People who don't understand it
Jason C. I agree. Pure genius! And a nice humble guy! How could anyone thumbs down.

Logic always wins! Getting the spare tire out will be more difficult than fixing the problem.
Your approach to diagnosis is amazing great job hard to learn that’s experience. And knowledge
Nice one Keith. Like how you said start with the easiest and most logical approach.Excellant tip to remember 👍👍👍
Nice work Keith. Love CAN diagnostics
I’m watching and learning 😊... For me that was a master class Keith just want you to know that is much appreciated Sir 👍👍👍
Always the logical approach Keith! That's why I enjoy your videos! Thanks for taking the time to share and explain 👍 done like a true pro!
Pure experience and logic there keith. Brilliant wee vid

K.I.S.S. in the world of advanced diagnostics. Love the process Keith.

It would take years of experience through trial and error to obtain the information you just shared in less than eight minutes. You are a diagnostic God.
This stuff is gold, Jerry, gold! Pulling that fuse and re-scanning, what a smart way to narrow things down. This is one of my favourites, Keith.
Wow, your logic never ceases to amaze me :)
Inspirational stuff. Thanks for taking the time to do these videos. Our industry seems to be moving away from making others look bad to make yourself look good and turning into a community. The old adage of it takes a village to raise a kid is turning into it takes a village to fix a car!

Your diagnostic approach to things has really helped me out thank you very much. Keep up the great videos👍
love your videos learning so much from your knowlodge you make it look so easy thanks

You have a technic for making jobs other garages wound not even look at seem simple...thanks for sharing
Great diagnosis and explanation Keith! Keeping it simple saves time.
Excellent advice sir. Well done. Thanks!
Nice to see how you approached this Keith. very logical as always and right to the problem. Ignore the two muppets who gave a thumbs down. They didn't have their snickers today. :)
Always a learning experience watching your videos
You are to me what TST seminars are to you. Thank you for sharing.

Cannot believe this guy only has 19k subs
super cool as ever and super smooth roll on to the next job where the rest of us will be getting not done that job yet much appreciated
Exactly 2 terminating resistors 120 ohms each in parallel measuring 60 ohms on pins 6 and 14 on DLC. If good. 😉
Thank you Keith. Good job. Have a blessed and safe week. You know I appreciate your videos brother.
Smart diagnosis. Thanks for helping me think outside the box.. and into a new box of worms. Lol. Great job.
Very helpful video. I just discovered your channel and now it looks like I have some watching to do.
You sir, are in a league of your own. 👍👍
You are really in a "New Level Auto" diagnostics.
Thank you very much Sir. I enjoyed your vid a lot. Regards from Caracas Venezuela
If I get 25% as good as you, Keith, I'll be doing damn good! 🍻

Agree that is a very nosy can signal,,, will have to keep that in mind on those cars
Excellent logical approach
You should name it another level auto doc 😄.Great diag !
Great video thanks brother. I like the way you think outside of the box. Great information and fix explanation. Keep up the great work see you in the next video thanks again brother
Nice one well played! Quick and simple.
Good one.
As always great share Keith.
Simply brilliant.
You found it fast,awesome! 👍
Nice job again like always
Wish you would do more videos.thanks for sharing
“Eric isn’t the only one with some rust, we do get it.” Maybe you do get metal worm Keith but not in a 6 month old car that has sat in the dealer showroom all its life.
Nice use of brain power to narrow down the suspect modules. Rust never sleeps! Nice job!
Great job Keith.
Impressive, thanks for sharing!
The man behind the magic.
Great Job Keith

greate diagnosis.
following great work
My Escalade is going crazy but the only problem is it'll go nuts then it's fine for 6 months lol...sucks cause you're always sitting around waiting for it to happen again. Mechanic told me whenever it does bring it straight there so he can check it out.
i will miss your vids
Good video. Loved the logic. I guess my question is since it was shorted to power, did this keep the module awake and cause parasitic draw?
Cant wait to say did you check your exhaust fuse lol...
😂
Great way to approach a problem be aware of vehicle condition.
I'm praying I can get a reply after seeing this vid is 5 years old. 2010 escalade, random no start, 20 codes about canbus etc if I can get it to scan. Multiple shops, thousands of dollars. I'm an ex mechanic and I need to know what this software is!

Amazing
Cluster behaves like my HHR cluster, Sketchy TCM comms. I have been wiggling the same cluster of wires every 3 months for 5 years.
Give it a wiggle and its good to go for a bit ?
Where are u located in nyc? My 08 Escalade has similar problems as the vid.
What were you using to display the pick on?
Awesome video.
Nice video Keith. See you at SS
YOU ARE TRULY BAD ASZZZZ
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Hope you have started writing your tst classes! I would sell my dog and get a truck to make it there lmbo
Did you shoot for short to power instead of open ground, because of how high the voltage was?
Mine is a 2007 Escalade and I have this issue stability service lights what’s the issue how can I fix it please help
Bringin' it! 👍🏼
Don't worry she is in good hands....
Do you know someone near Raleigh or even better fayetteville NC that knows about this stuff? I’m having similar issues on my ‘12 hybrid escalade and the dealer is telling me they can’t even tell me what’s all wrong until they start fixing it.
Thumbs up crew 👍👍👍👍👍
How do I find someone that does these types of diagnosis on 2007 Cadillac Escalade in CA?
What part of Cali?
