@@childrey14 people changing their own breaks are typically trying to save money. If they can save an extra $100-$130 per set of rotors by taking some basic measurements, I think that would help a lot of people. That’s some extra cash for groceries or towards other repairs a vehicle could be needing. I get where you’re coming from, but if the car doesn’t need it, could be helpful for those in tough financial situations.

@@davidlehr4322 🤔 I don’t think this meter is fast enough to capture in rush current. If that’s a feature you’re needing, I would find a meter that advertises that functionality. And I would imagine it would be at a higher cost. A meter like this is more for your average DIYer looking to make some basic measurements.

@@SmokeyLove-vt4xd hey, thank you for contributing. But I was having some trouble understanding what you were saying. Such as “scanners”. Could you elaborate more on your point so I may have a better understanding?

@@aiyogarage Yeah, thanks for the reply! “Scanners” is actually a concept made by barbara sher. It is something she came up with when she was trying to help people who found themselves not being able to finish what they started or felt unable to commit to an occupation or even reading a book. I study Psychology and I always find it interesting when you observe similarities in people. Especially when you are learning new subjects unrelated to what you were doing previously. I am not saying this is what you were talking about but that boredom you mentioned made me think of this sort of personality type (even though its not an official type lol). Also, not all people who seem like scanners are scanners. Its really not important either way its just something Id be interested in finding more data about. Which brings forth the question, if the person that feels bored as an apprentice has bad pay but was always engaged in the work, such as constantly learning/ working on new projects. Instead of doing the same thing over and over like you mentioned. Would that make up for the pay in the early stages? Also, the main reason I brought it up was to in some way, point out that this was a reality and you were pretty valid with everything you said. Especially as someone with no experience in the field yet, I can tell what you were saying was right on the nose. Being a retail worker thats why you see people quit all the time for the same reasons just to do the same thing elsewhere. My point about concierge work was that people will now look for independent contractors/tradesmen to fulfill work and big corps will really need to step up pay but this will come at the cost of higher qualifications. Like you said about that cert (no idea what it is) it really wasnt any real guarantee (like anything in life) of the quality of the work you would get. So is there really any consistency? I think thats why you find it better to find your own work, which I think others have seen becoming more of the case. Sorry for the long response. Especially if it feels like you didnt get any clarification or anything really new from it lol

@@scubabruceCA I’m assuming you’re talking about a 12v car battery? You can get it tested at the auto store

@@aiyogarage Not exactly. I use motorcycle sized batteries to power ham radios in the field. I guess I can still check the voltage without putting a load on it like with the 9 and 1.5 volt option. I don’t think I really understand the difference.

@@scubabruceCA checking just voltage can be an easy check to get a sense of the charge of the battery. But putting a load on it will give you a sense of the health. For a smaller 12v battery like that you could even just use like a 4amp headlight bulb to put a load on it. The brightness should give you a pretty good indication of the health/charge level of the battery.

@@aiyogarage Thanks!

@@scubabruceCA you bet!

@@thesneak281 there’s another brand called AstroAI. They’ve got some really good stuff at a similar price. I’ve got a few videos on them and also some of their meters in my store (link in video description). For sure would recommend checking them out. You’d be surprised the difference in quality/accuracy compared to the innova meter you’ve been using. Should make the occasional electrical testing a lot more straight forward

@@Dandan-hl5gp hey, I don’t think I fully understand what you are asking. Would you mind explaining your situation in more detail? Hopefully that way I know what direction to point you in

@@syedzubair1351 very interesting. I did not know that. Thank you for sharing

@@aiyogarage if you want to look into this check the third world countries whose colleges/universities were once recognized and now are not. Examples, Egypt, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Cuba etc

@@syedzubair1351 Will do!

@@mitchvass4498 that’s awesome! Glad it was helpful.

@@RESISTAGE Low-ESR capacitors can rise as voltages fall. Some high dielectric constant materials can also exhibit losses that are dependent on applied voltage, which are known as ferroelectric hysteresis losses.

@@RESISTAGE what else you got?

@@timjohnston9764 completely agree 👍

@@Asimo44 modern vehicles have specific coolant fluid requirements. Using green/generic coolant isn’t ideal, but if that’s all you have it’s better than nothing. It’s just frustrating as a tech and you go to work on the cooling system and you see green coolant. Now you have to also try and sell a coolant flush so you’re not mixing different coolants. Just trying to get the word out there 👍

​@@aiyogarage okay and are you saying you don't use distilled water to flush or you don't use distilled water at all?

@@Asimo44 I’m saying I don’t use distilled water at all. Any shop that has ever serviced your car does not use distilled water either. Common practice. Not saying it’s right, you should always follow manufacturer instructions. But just being honest with the public about it

@@aiyogarage so you say green coolant is bad but then you also say you don't follow manufacturer's instructions? Kinda just lost all your credibility there. I'll keep using green coolant and distilled water. 👍

@@Asimo44 you do you booboo

@@scogio465 this meter was is not rated for dc milli amp measurements. AstroAI does have other meters that will be able to help you out with that

@@Outspokentiger you can use just the 120v ac from an outlet. However, when testing, I always like to have a secondary breaker, rated for 10 amps, in series with my power supply. This way I have control of when the circuit has power applied, as well as immediate protection in case whatever I’m testing is shorted out.

@@aiyogarage The solenoid just have two 18 gauge wires coming out of it, goes to a Mac air valve. I’m trying to power the solenoid directly to see if it powers on.

@@Outspokentiger yeah you should be able to hook those up to a hot and neutral. I imagine it doesn’t need much current with such small gauge conductors. Just be super careful 👍💀

@@aiyogarage Well there lays the confusion for me lol. If the wires are bare how would the power be applied to those said wires? Would I need some sort of inverter and claps?

@@Outspokentiger oh like, the wires have no insulation on them?

@@senecadaze you bet! Glad it was helpful

@@No_Name888qwer I think around 13.3v. It’s not a lead acid battery it’s a LiFeP04

@@No_Name888qwer lol yes but I promise I did it in a controlled manner with plenty of safety measures in place

@@No_Name888qwer maybe a little 😅

@@VanessaJohnson-c8m it’s a handy troubleshooting route for sure

@@aiyogarage how much are they if you need a replacement/rebuild ?My ex has a 2011 Chrysler 200 and she's replaced the alternator and battery and still not right 😢

@@VanessaJohnson-c8m you should be able to put in your vehicles information on their website and they should be able to show you which one you need and the price of it. But they’re not cheap

@@aiyogarage are tipm problems isolated to only those models?

@@VanessaJohnson-c8m Tipm problems are common amongst all Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep/Ram products. It’s just due to poor electrical design.

@@adrianjimenez3614 you bet! Hope it works out

@@foxlake02 😂 that’s funny

No. This meter is terrible

@@aiyogarage What do you recommend that will do it?

@@cactusladysouth1000 there’s a company on Amazon called Astro AI. They have some meters in this price range that’ll be able to measure capacitance. Should be able to help you get sorted out 👍

That’s awesome! Has to be one of the best feelings in the world. Good job 👍

😂 they’re old enough

Oh no I’m sorry to hear that. Must be very frustrating. In this instance you’ll probably want to take it to a shop for an official diagnostic. Could be a circuit issue, a module issue, or something overlooked when the timing job was performed. I would use scope data to review the cams and crank waveform data and compare it to a know good as a start. Hope everything works out for you 👍

@@aiyogarage by module, you mean the ECM OR computer? And is it dangerous to drive with the code?

@@joepearlzz8504 yes I mean the ECM, in your case it would probably be considered a PCM. As long as the timing was done correctly, it shouldn’t be dangerous. However, your vehicle emissions could be affected by this issue. Would be best to get it sorted out before causing further issues

@@aiyogarage thanks, does this code cause any symptoms if the timing was done correctly. I’m thinking it was since all the marks match up. Idles and starts fine. I do have 02 Sensor code already and maybe an exhaust leak.

@@joepearlzz8504 without going through the process myself, I wouldn’t be able to speak further on the matter. I would encourage you to seek a diagnostic and get it resolved.
