Well ,Well Well my friend. I have to commend you for your amazing skill and experience which has helped a 65 year old retired truck driver with the same exact model equinox .I had the very same SUV with the exact same problem. And thanks to you putting that video on You-Tube .I was able to solve a problem that 3 professional auto electricians who tried before could could not fix after I spent between them more than $800.00.Plus .I bought and changed several sensors a ,starter , a used fusebox and a junk yard ECM.Nothing worked and after all that it could not start.. After my SUV sat for 3 weeks.I learnt from you Sir ,that most of the the terminals even the ones on the ECM were corroded or oxidized..I followed every thing you did ,step by step and BOOM...After 3 long frustrating weeks ,my SUV started . I owe it to you my friend. Let it be known to you and You-tube .You have helped a poor man fix a very expensive problem with a Hat pin and some electric contact spray can.THANK YOU SIR. I used the pin to clear the contact ports and checked for the drag just like you said.Cleared them and sprayed them with the contact spray.And my SUV came alive again.A world of THANKS to you Sir.
Yes, and look at the extra "ground" wire that someone added from the alternator to the fender. Someone has been trying to stab at an electrical issue for awhile now. BTW, love your channel too.
It isn't just GM terminals. I have an 03 Ford Super Duty that had the same problems with the turn signal circuit. I ran the entire wiring harness from the flasher to the multi-function switch to the brake pedal switch and all of their power and grounds. Finally got a subscription to Mitchell, so I could get wiring diagrams. Found my problem of loose terminals on the back side of the fuse box under the dash. I actually replaced the pin terminals in the connector to fix the problem. This was a great diag video Ivan. Even the pros make mistakes. lol
4:12 is where I normally stab my finger. I wish manufactures had listing for repair terminals. Volkswagen is one of the few that sells repair terminals with 6” of wire attached so a repair can be made. We have 3 or four terminal assortments and I save every junk yard harness just for repair terminals.
@@dans_Learning_Curve they were probably probing the can bus, looking for a problem. It's no coincidence that all the other sockets would be tight, but those are loose. Never stick anything in a pin docket any larger than the pin that goes in there. Ivan had a test cable that had the precise sized pin, that's why he found the looseness so easily. There are basic rules that must be followed, no matter how inconvenient they are. Don't pierce insulation, unless you seal it back up; don't poke things into pin sockets, unless they're the right size. Back probe whenever you can and be careful doing that. AES sells a bunch of probe cables that fit all these different connector sizes. Ivan was fortunate that he could squish them back, otherwise you have to replace the individual socket if you can, or replace the whole connector or harness segment. All connectors have a life cycle of plugs and replugs, often it can be counted on your fingers, maybe on one hand. It's just another example of designed obsolescence. Intermittent electrical problems are the worst to track down.
You almost need a checklist of variables when it comes to diagnostics because in the heat of battle you can forget to check something , even when it seems to be a simple diag, those are the ones that can eat your lunch. I fortunately have the luxury to be able to walk away from them for a couple of hours or more and think about the variables, when you are at someone's house or shop time is of the essence! We all have those days. Glad you figured it out, I knew you would
@@markh.6687 not always, more than often they will have you replacing a part that doesn't fix the problem, been doing this professionaly 30 years and it has been a struggle most of the times. I believe the engineers or whoever writes these flow charts don't always take into account things that are tampered with, to them it's black or white and there are no gray areas. I really commend some of the manufacturer s for recognizing the power of oscilloscopes in the diagnostic process. Nissan is the worst, most of the times they tell to replace the part with known good part! Just sayin! Thanks for the reply
With intermittent loose terminals, it's a bloody nightmare, to say the very least. There was obviously some one already there, fault finding with some blunt equipment not exactly made to measure and developing new problems to add to the experience. Grand session of patient detective work to uncover that lot and nice sound from the 3.4 litre.
just noticed you have over 89K subscribers ... dont know how many you had when I joined up .. but I think less then a thousand ( right after your first video with Eric ) congratulations buddy :)
Fretting can be a recurring problem also. Working on a FCA vehicle the sensor had fretting with a 20% variation. Retensioned and deoxit worked for a week light came back on then when checked it had a 1% variation. Ultimately, I learned that the programming required a 99.8% clean signal and the addition of stabilant 22 corrected the problem. Also, each pin also has a crimp that can introduce resistance. Fretting may also mean that the terminal plating could be compromised. This is our future nightmare. FCA should never have used a high amperage 3 pin headlight connector for a sensor and programmed the computed to be so sensitive. Thanks for the videos.
First time I've watched any of your videos. Nice troubleshooting. Good to see problems like this getting fixed. Haven't watched your videos before, I have liked & subscribed. Good work.. Thanks for the honest video.
I now know from ivens videos is if you see any arftermarket parts or wiring go arfter that first then deal with the issue you were originally told to investigate and Joe's auto electrics he and Eric O said the same thing
I feel good every time I watch a video. He fixes everything so we don't have to worry about the customer yelling at us. Truly this is one of my favorite channels. I am so impressed at how smart he is.
Good job Ivan...Sometimes those lack of pin friction give you those intermittent problems that are hard to track down...Very similar to another fix you did before when you mess with the connection and the car was FIXED. Tarnish, Corrosion, and lack of pin friction are head aches for a technician causing intermittents that will have you going in circles. I've been there.
I knew you were gonna figure it out and you did. I believe in you. Brilliant technician like you or Eric O. can make mistake or wrong call. I made few mistake but I figured it out and I fixed it. Struggle is very real 🧠. Nice lesson. You must be tired from this Chevy.
Sir you just made my day! Long story short I worked on an 09 Equinox no crank. I went through the GM pp test and of course it resulted in the EBCM being faulty. I replaced it and the vehicle started right up. Now( weeks later) I have a super intermittent CAN BUS issue where everything goes down while the vehicles running with all the same codes you had. Sure enough same pins had that very issue. GM even put out a TSB on this terminal threading issue which I neglected during my first diag. Great video can't thank you enough for this vid!
Ya, I agree with Tonyfremont. Unlike Ivan, they gave up after spreading the terminals open. Good troubleshooting Ivan! The world of small terminals and micro or nano amps got this vehicle for sure after someone else messed with them! YOU FIXED IT!
Agree with the other guys. More likely terminal spreading than fretting. That "shop" looked like a used car lot so that car had likely been "touched" repeatedly. And you already know what you missed. That high resistance reading in part 1 that "fixed" itself, and the CAN network coming and going, both pointed to an intermittent.
Hey, that's my kind of music there on your backgroud.........you have some Dominicans there working with you!! That's some old great original Merengue music......it's not made like that anymore.....sorry not mentioning your awesome repair there..
I have always said, in your car there are 2000 moving parts, working at high temp, high pressure and under great strain, any faulty one of which can disable the car. Of course there are literally thousands of electrical connections which are under no strain any one of which can disable your car also! Its amazing that any car at all actually works.
Nice work brother. In my 10+ at Honda I can not remember 1 time I had that issue. But Honda used to have alot of bulletins on checking drag and greasing connector backs as a preventive for issues that were known.
I’ve found that on cars. I once cut out connector and twisted wires together with wire nuts on a construction site at midnight to get home. Two years later the guys truck was still like that!
Nice diag. You really don't stand a chance without the proper terminal probe. Worked as G.m. pre service line tech, found terminal tension out of the plant was rampant. The only repair allowed was replacement with a terminated lead, no tweaking accepted. Most terminals part # were available thru service information, no way to find that # if you started in the parts catalog. Although the supplier builds millions of harnesses with terminals, you cannot make each perfect.
I learned so much this time how to evaluate resistance, how to give life to poorly made connectors, and one place to look to for a lean fuel trim. Ivan that was the fastest I have ever seen someone clean up a lean long term fuel trim. I will have to buy that aes wave connector kit. GM shame on you for making such poor connectors.

I had a similar problem on UK Vauxhall (GM) traced the CAN line fault to to an ecu with can in and can out much like yours. when back probe was used reading were good comms came back turned key and it started BUT had a scope on engine ECU and as i removed back probes and scope trace went daft and engine stopped when i de-pinned the connector it was clear it had been crimped badly . no copper was in the connector (cut to short) but the part that traps the outer insulation had just pierced the insulation and made a bad intermittent connection which had got worse over time !!! So i learned not to back probe looking for connection issues but use a piecing type connector two or three inches up the cable away from the ecu connector block i have found meany similar problems since ... hope this helps someone!!
Autel Should send you their new scan tool with the j2534 pass through. I’ll d they did that... you could get in2 programming. Then you could halve flashed that module. I’d love for you to start programming. Autel should make that happen!!!
I work at new car factory of a german brand of car and we see same loose pin issues. Also some broken wires at the pin crimp that you find when gently pulling on insulated wire where it goes into the weatherproof seal of the connector hole.
Well done ivan :-D What a pain in the ass that was :-( Those connections don't selectively go loose, some messing with the connectors must of happened sometime.

In general most automobile build quality isn't there no matter what brand it is anymore it is all about the numbers and mass production. it would make your head hurt if you set and think about how many hundreds of millions of vehicles could be breaking down all of a sudden and how many could lead to wreck, death or leave you stranded if they malfunctioned at the wrong second.
Great job I wish I had you around to help me. I have just one question if possible. 2010 Chevy traverse lt replaced throttle body crank and cam sensors after several codes for throttle body and a ground short P0698. Fix everything car was trying to start with no codes and then the code P2176 pops up and now it’s not trying to start but does crank. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated please and thank you 🙏🏻
Do they make all the error codes before they build their vehicles??? Or, do they write all the error codes as they're units are moving down the line???

I have a 2004 cadillac srx; abs t/c, and brake light on. Tried to scan; no communication with 2 different scanners. This started when I had power steering pump,rack and pinion replaced. now those lights are on and the steering is very hard at idle. Should I junk this thing?
@@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics I am not sure if it has electric assist. I noticed also when this all started, all the brake lights on the back are out. I am 70 miles from the nearest dealership, and I am at a loss. I got a newer obd2 reader, and it wont communicate with abs for some reason.
Привет Иван! Браво, ты победил! На старых Toyota (правый руль), с которыми я часто имею дело, все разъемы заполнены белой смазкой. Думаю, что это технический вазелин. В Советском Союзе, эта смазка называлась ЦИАТИМ и всюду применялась. Что ты думаешь об этом методе защиты разъемов? ______________________ Смотрю с интересом, Денис!
Fretting.... "Fretting is caused by the motion between the connector and the terminal, which can be due to vibration - micro motion between two contact surfaces causing build up of insulating oxidized debris (nonconductive material)..."
@@rj.parker Thanks for the confirming that the connector problem is called 'Fretting' and what it is. I have come across the problem with connectors, many times before, but never knew what the condition was called.

Have you ever used stabilant 22 ? Developed by the elevator industry. Liquid that makes electrical continuity even with loose terminals.
Thanks for sharing this experience.
SO did the equinox need a purge solenoid or did it remain unstuck removing lean code?
I told them to replace it 👍
Great video 👍👍👍👍
Good find!!
Hey how do you like that launch pocket scanner?? Or have you done a review video for it?
Now that was a tricky one indeed. Feels as if someone had done some testing with incorrect size pins. Since only the CAN pair pins had the issue.
very well done i hope you got extra money for 2nd fix
Nice job finding the issue with this one
Where is that thing located? Who wants to buy this thing
So how does the average shop or even dealer fix this problem (beyond a general diagnosis)? Change the harness?
No just try 3 engine computers then send it to the auction 😂
So which plug will it be on a 2011? Got the exact same issue, no crank, no start, my obd port won't work but it has power to it.. help
What diagnostic tool is that looks like a smart phone I like it
Do they make all the error codes before they build their vehicles???
Or, do they write all the error codes as they're units are moving down the line???

@@lesliemclearran7983 I would diagnose the brake light circuit. Would probably lead you to the source of the problem 👍
So what happened to the other solenoid? Did it get changed?
Don't you miss the good old days of standard ignition and HEI ?
Привет Иван! Браво, ты победил!
На старых Toyota (правый руль), с которыми я часто имею дело, все разъемы заполнены белой смазкой. Думаю, что это технический вазелин. В Советском Союзе, эта смазка называлась ЦИАТИМ и всюду применялась. Что ты думаешь об этом методе защиты разъемов?

Why are loose connector pins, called 'Terminal threading'?
Fretting.... "Fretting is caused by the motion between the connector and the terminal, which can be due to vibration - micro motion between two contact surfaces causing build up of insulating oxidized debris (nonconductive material)..."
@@rj.parker Thanks for the confirming that the connector problem is called 'Fretting' and what it is. I have come across the problem with connectors, many times before, but never knew what the condition was called.
