Dude !!! That was flipping awesome! ....I had same set up on a 1999 for tarus...ground on pcm but I thought pins or conne tots was bad so I pulled them Off ....low and behold !!!....most of all the connections on female side was tarnished just like this ....replaced all the connecteors and boom ! Started that car right up ....43,000 miles for 300 dollars. Plus my time over 3 or 4 months ....just didn't give up and didn't let it get the best of me ....thank you for up load and I appreciate you doing this for a freinds friend .....I work on cars but not for a living and I just love messing with any motor that comes .y way .......Marcus in west Texas....sweet job bro. Sweet job !!!
Hello Paul, I'm a 59 Yr old fart who was an hgv tech ( semi truck to you & your US bros) for 30 years. Turned my hand to everything but electrics. Seems to me, I was born with an open ground in my head with a 12v sensor feed to the dark place where electrical understanding is stored. The bulb just never lit. I have been watchin & lovin your vidz for a while now and thanx to you the grounds are being fixed one by one and the reference signal voltage is slowly coming down. You're an absolute fkin genius with a mind like an ECM. I'm blown away by and still trying to comprehend just how much stuff is inside your head. Just nipped in to pass on to you a humungous thank you and major gratitudes for sharing that most valuable asset a human being can have is knowledge. You're amazing man‼️ You keep makin em we'll keep watchin em. Happy & healthy life to you & your family.
Alec Nemeth - I'm on my 50's, thankfully for me, my long time deceased father in law. Started me on the "dark magic" of the electrical side of vehicles. He himself started as a 12 old apprentice kid building batteries. Different times for sure. By then I already had a quite decent mechanical background. That simply add the cherry on top of the cake. ;-) One of the details I never forgot was, in general, to keep contacts clean, grounds in particular immaculate. I can't state enough how much it kept me clear of "car troubles" over the years. Since one way or another I'm always messing up with "mechanical stuff". Keep that on top of my to do list. Worth every penny. Except for family or friends who seem to take advantage of it. LOL 😂 I also thank ScannerDanner for his knowledge sharing. Big Thumbs up. Cheers all
If you are here to learn, you’re in the right place. There is no better automotive teacher, this side of the pond. The people who hit thumbs down must be looking to polish headlights or air up their tires because that’s all their brains can handle. Thanks for the instruction Mr. Danner.
Who cares about the thumbs down as long as it does not stop the video. This guy is an excellent teacher takes his time to pass on his knowledge to all who will listen. The information that he gives is super incredible.
It’s inspiring to watch experienced professionals who take pride in what they do and are SO good at what they do that they can brake it down to inform even the most inexperienced tech. THANK YOU
Been a long time Paul you may or may not remember me. However, I remember when you first started youtube videos. It's a blessing to see how far you've come. You inspired me to open my own shop when I got laid off as a diesel mechanic. That was 5 years ago and still going strong. I apply the same basics to diesel engines also. Thank you for all you do and be blessed!
Today instead of movies I am watching your channel while fixing Fords in my shop. Good entertainment I like how it feels like I am there with you diagnosing the car. Love the channel bud you deserve twice the subs you have!
Wow. It’s like I just went home and Paul is teaching in his super style. I’ve watched this vid several times. Each time I learn more. Cool use of the MT2400. I bought one. They r great!!
Simply outstanding and an impressive example of digging in to find out exactly what the problem is. You followed the part changers and came out on top - awesome. Thank you - you are the best I've seen, and I learn the most from your videos.
I bought your book years ago. Best money I ever spent. The history of that cars “attempts to repair”, compared to your relative ease and quickness of the same exactly demonstrates your skill as an instructor/diagnostician. You are the best. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you friend. I had an auto electric class with almost no hands on and zero mentoring, a lot of it was a waste of time and not applicable to repair work. Reviewed the book we used, it said to dc the sensor to check the gnd wire for voltage drop; of course this made no sense to me as no current is flowing, and this brought me to your video. You have a great talent for auto instructional videos. There are great mechanics but many lack the aptitude for teaching in a coherent easily understood manner. Well done.
Again, beautiful to show how a logical approach makes sense and works. I know you wouldn't normally be working on am electrical system with power applied. Only thought is mention that whenyou have grounds from different systems connected together like that but not connected to ground, they will seek a lower resistance (via current flow) through the other floating grounds. That could potentially damage the more fragile circuits e.g. say a headlight seeking ground through the computer lifted ground wire. Of course the headlights aren't on I'm just using that as an example. It may have been one of those mercy repairs for a friend but look at the great opportunity it provided for a great example of trouble shooting. Thanx for you videos!
It's always nice to see someone fix a problem by using their head instead of just guessing at stuff. It's really sweet to fix a problem in a few minutes that everyone else has not managed to repair for the last two weeks. Nice job.
Thank you for this video, I am just converting a loom at the minute and was failing to understand why there was a normal set of grounds and sensor grounds. This video has cleared up the wiring diagram perfectly and I can only thank you for that
My first instinct was a wire-to-wire short to battery power, so it was a surprise to see this was caused by a poor computer ground. As you say, if the computer ground is bad, the computer voltage regulator that produces the 5V standard will have no reference baseline to produce exactly 5V. It was really helpful to hear your remark that every time you've seen it, the problem is not a short to power, it's a bad ground. That's where experience trumps book knowledge, invaluable. Thanks!
Some of the best automotive lessons on TH-cam. Great job explaining some invaluable information. Thank you very much, & please keep the informative knowledge flowing so we can keep absorbing proper, practical, effective, not to mention profitable information. I can't say enough. Thank you sir.
Everytime I watch a Scanner Danner video I feel like we're hanging out and he's personally talking to me and teaching me all kinds of useful information that's easy to learn because of the way he explains things and breaks it down. Another great video my good sir can't wait to watch the next one.
When I saw the computer laying on the footwell... I thought it was going to be one of those when it is better to run away... and yet you stood your ground. Great!!!& and thanks for taking us along
Excellent demonstration of why knowing fundamentals is so important. I can't imagine how much time or the amount BILLED in vain! Money that could've gone to maintenance or tires. .. great video Paul!
It's very cool how there are layers to what you're teaching. I bought your book and have watched a ton of your videos and once I really got serious about getting better I found more content within videos I'd already watched. I don't think I was ready for that understanding until now but better understanding of principles, finding direction early and just plain old experience is making me a better technician thanks brother, I'm not on your level but I'm getting there. 👍
I like this description "layers" It truly is this. It all builds and connects with each other, eventually :-) Thanks for the comment and it does my heart good to hear how much this has made a difference for you.
I ran across this exact problem with an 88 mustang sending 12v across the board, turned out it had an 86 wiring harness. Thanks for all that you do and for sharing your wealth of knowledge. God bless you brother and keep up the good work!
DiagnoseDan Nice to c u here. The D men. I have been watching him for years. What about u? He really got me started using a scope. I have one of those old MT 2400. Great tool! It even does 240 AC for house work
BROTHER I HAVE HEARD MANY TIMES TECHS AND MECHS REFERERRED TO AS DOCTORS ,BUT YOU MY FRIEND SHOULD BE REFERRED TO TO A SPECIALIST , MORE LIKE A BRAIN SURGEON ! LOL . YOU ARE DEFINATELY A MASTER BRO ! NO ONE EXPLAINS THINGS BETTER IN LAYMANS TERM THAT EVEN ORDINARY NON TECHS PEOPLE COULD UNDERSTAND !. THANK YOU FOR YOUR WONDERFUL AND IN DEPTH SERVICE MY FRIEND ! for the caps not shouting , just super excited and super expressive about finally finding someone who can def teach me a thing or 2,000,000 lol excellent job and excellent video bro !!! thank You again and again for all You do !
so call "techs" & "mechanicals" needs go back to basics and learn them and aply it. half of the time thats the problems and quit been part changers...this is why danner so good lol ;)
Paul - both you and Eric O are ACE technicians , you both are VERY GOOD at what you do and have VAST EXPERIENCE . I am glad I live in a world with the internet and technologies such as - TH-cam - to be able to watch your videos. Thank you SO MUCH for sharing your wealth of expert knowledge - as automobiles are / have become very sofisticated and it takes so much more technical troubleshooting expertise ( electrical / electronic ) to properly diagnose and repair todays vehicles. Your skills are inspiring - MANY THANKS 👍👍👍👍👍😊😊😊😊✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️
Brilliant. ...The result is all that matters. Love the way you explain your thoughts as you go along...... I'm a lapsed motor mechanic/ electrician....comng back to the game and finding all this Electronic/computer stuff on cars is pretty daunting...But you are inspiring me to resolve these problems.... I kinda knew the 5v had to be present at all sensors (Like washing machines!) So finding it at almost battery voltage... had to be a "grounding" problem somewhere. BUT.... That was a mega hint on the Fords: No Check Engine light..... Thanks for that. Big saludos....And thank you.
Hi, I used to love using the Vantage around 15 years ago when I was an auto/electrical tech. Loved the tool, it was well made (in the US :) ) and at one point I actually thought of making it rechargeable since it was quite power hungry. I did use the pro version a couple of times, but did not like it as much as the original. BION but I had a couple of these, in the cases with all the accessories, and sold them on Ebay thinking I may never need them again. Recently I had a problem (p0325) with an 2003 Honda Element of mine an wanted to see the waveform of the knock sensor - I still work on cars now and then. Obviously you still love using the good old MT2400, but what would you suggest I look into getting to be able to view a wave form? I still use a power probe and was wondering if you had used the new Power Probe PPTM01AS (Maestro), or shall I go for a scope like the Pico, Hanteks, Signstek DSO203 or a multimeter/scope like a Liumy? PS I don't mind using a laptop/tabet - I have a bunch of Toughbooks. Have a great New Year. :)
I watched your video as a starting mechanic about a year ago when I was just starting, I didn't understand then but after watching it again with some mechanical experience it's a GREAT VIDEO SCANNER DANNER YOU DA MAN...
I have started to lean towards wire piercing also. I have no desire to second guess connections or even worse, the possibility of crossing two terminals and frying the computer. Liquid electrical tape is a lot cheaper!
The information you provide in your videos is awesome. I've been looking for this type of explanation that you provide so I can figure out the cam issues I'm dealing with. All the other video's I've seen seem to stop explaining problems once they've solved their issue where you continue to talk about other problems that we could be dealing with and how to diagnose them. Thank You! Keep up the great video's!
Great one Paul. A VERY good lesson in getting initial direction by checking the basics and establishing certain "MUST HAVE's" then going from there. You must have a focused approach to be effective in any diagnosis and repair. I think you presented the point well in that if you don't have a 5 volt reference, (that is supplied by the computer) then you do not have what is needed to make the engine run. It is as basic as trying to start an engine without any fuel.... it will not work. The lack of ground to the computer means that the entire computer was "FLOODED" with 12 volts with no way of working and providing anything else than that battery voltage to ANY circuit. The 5 Volt Regulator Circuit needs a ground to function. I am surprised that the engine ran as well as it seemed to after all that had been done to it. You made a valid point.... diplomatically.... 'I hesitate to take this one on'...... 'freebe'..... but let's see what is missing. Also the point about remembering a similar case from 20 years ago is very valid..... maybe not exactly the same, (although in this case it was), but valid experience just the same and usable in this similar situation. A good combination of UNDERSTANDING, EXPERIENCE, DIRECTION, and MEMORY is unbeatable in so many fields..... LEARN FROM THOSE THAT HAVE IT! Sometimes these ones will also have a good story to relate with the experience that will help you remember the point.... listen to them and remember the lesson. Thanks Paul for your lessons and experiences.
very well summed up my friend, on point exactly! and we need to not be afraid to bill for these types of job. If I'm a garage owner, this is a $150-$180 repair all day long and the customer is happy to pay it. Our knowledge and expertise should not be given away.
Thanks...excellent video. Retired senior my job now is keeping our 2 older vehicles purring without going out and buying new like most my friends have. Cars have always been a passion my entire life. My career however was in photography and I feel your pain about hard sunlight. Back in the day shooting weddings we loved hazy yet still bright days. Hard sunlight made it very difficult indeed. Many a brides mom took offense to us posing them in the shade......but always were thrill when they saw the final results.
We've stepped up our game into 4k, my latest 2 part series shows it and my son Caleb is my cameraman is is researching all of that stuff now. Thanks for the comment!
Hi Paul, Thanks for sharing your knowledge, skill and experience. Would you please explain how bad computer ground would raise the voltage. if you have covered this in your book please let me know where it has been covered.
It is no different than any other circuit with a bad ground. No current flow = no voltage drop. The ECM board itself has no ground, so all power coming in and circuits trying to operate cause the entire board ground voltage to rise. Hope that makes sense. I could draw it better than describe it. I'm sure I do in one of my playlists I provided here in this description. The ground circuit problems one. There's like 6 videos in that playlist. I think you'll get a better ideas when you see some more. Thank you!
I’ve been following your channels for years now. It’s always great to watch you. Your approach to teaching is unmatched. Thanks to you Im where Im at today...
Crazy right? It is no different than any other circuit with a bad ground. No current flow = no voltage drop.

@@ScannerDanner makes sense - thought that was the answer but thankful for your expert description! Thanks for all you do! If I were younger and looking for a career I would go to your school/videos etc and enjoy the challenge of auto diagnosis!
Working on a 2015 sierra AC. Found many burned plugs, bad grounds, and a bad fusebox. Git 5v on reference, 12v, and 7v on pressure switch. Checked for all problems I could find in forums and solved a handful of issues with things other than the ac. Thank you for this video, now I have a new direction to look. My biggest fear is replacing the pcu and still getting no power through compressor clutch
I don’t know how I get into this video but you got my attention when u said I don’t know why I took this job and this is the kind of jobs that I love to do
To be nice when I troubleshoot a car in 5 minutes and the owner ask why I figured it out (like many times) and my shop didn't? I say they deal with a lot of cars or not their specialty. Defend those who are not present.
Defend those who are not present? I don't know about that but it is good to assume the best of people. However if money exchanged hands for a job not properly completed and later more issues maybe major issues arise is just plain bad. I usually say I'll see what I can do for you and try not to mention anyone else because for all I know it could've been the customer who was screwing around trying to fix something. If they have receipts then it's fair play only because I don't want my people to be screwed by a shoty mechanic who accomplished nothing but took money for a job well done. People need to know sometimes mechanic really are out to screw you I've seen it myself firsthand. My cousin lost his Honda accord because a mechanic wanted his payment for the car which he never fixed and the mechanic ended up keeping the accord in the end. He never even moved the car from where we left it on the far end of the lot. This is what got me to want to learn so I could help my family and friends stay on the road safely while not getting screwed by Chris (the mechanic) and losing their transportation. I definitely had plenty to say about that mechanic lol.. I tell everyone he is no good. In the end the court gave him the car due to taking space in his shop even if he hadn't touched it.... that rat bastard!
Looks like Michigan there. Great video. I've been a Mobile Mechanic here in Ann Arbor for the last 15 years and a Mechanic for 30 now and one things certain I am always learning something new!! I love being a mechanic and really enjoy jobs like this, like you said, once solved they pay in spades. I use parts buckets for my tools and fasteners to stay organized (busing tubs or dish tubs) it helps on jobs outside of the shop. I miss my quick strippers (we used to use HEI advance springs to fine tune them when I worked at Roush, ha). Anyways I'll pick up your book and I'm sure I'll learn from it!!
Great job of troubleshooting - loved it throughout. Was a good tutorial for me as relates to the 5 volt reference - a few days ago I finally found out where the batt voltage was reduced to the 5 volt ref. :) I see the parallel application of that 5 volts, and it is readily available at the "easy to get to" sensors. Many thanks,
I bought expensive tools yesterday but it didn’t fix my problem but when I watched this video,it make sense, thanks Paul for sharing your knowledge.Im still learning from your video 👏👏👏
I just started watching your content and will be purchasing your ebook. I think you're an amazing instructor and would have really enjoyed your classes as a student. I can tell you have an amazing ability and your students feed off it to the fullest! Thank you for teaching and being an inspiration to our youngsters!!
That was helpful. I had a 2002 Dodge 1500 with a no start, checked the ref signal at cam and crank sensor, none. Checked continuity to computer, it was good. Replaced the computer, and all was well. Keep the vids coming.
sorry to be offtopic but does anybody know of a way to log back into an instagram account..? I was stupid forgot the password. I love any tips you can give me!
@Gregory Christopher Thanks so much for your reply. I found the site through google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff now. Seems to take a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Wow! You just made my weekend! Can't wait til Monday at work to check what I have been working on. you just made this whole 12v. to 5v. Bad ground. So easily understandable. I'll definitely be checking your webpage Thanks and keep up the good work.
@@ScannerDanner Immigrants! Now that I've addressed the boneheaded side of the equation let me just say I hope these kids know how lucky they are to have you as their teacher. BTW my 88 Impulse uses the TPS switch. It only senses idle and WOT. Funny thing about it is normal operation is no pump prime before cranking and OBD1 DTC 12 is normally always stored to indicate that RPMs have been too low at some point during the current key on condition...Duh!
@@ScannerDanner awesome video thank you sir!! I seen this go the other way where a cam sensor on my jeep was reading 1.6v on the signal wire..after verifying I had my full 5 volts supply.. I've learned so much from you..keep em coming
My personal goal is to see and analyze all your videos, I've already seen 47. I've really learned a lot from you, you're a great teacher, congratulations I will be in Scanner Danner Premium soon. thanks for everything you are great
awesome! between the two channels (TH-cam and ScannerDanner Premium on my website) there are over 700 videos, so only 650 more to go :-) Thanks so much!
Great video professor! That experience to know where to look for that bad ground...that’s invaluable! It probably saved you an hour to go look at wiring diagrams etc. Thanks for sharing! 👍👍👍
This is where you see the dues being paid. The one that took you a long time the first time and lost money, you've been making money from for the last 20 years.
Great video Mr Danner. I am here to thank you very much because I have learned a lot from your video and one example is : I have checked a 2014 Corolla which is complained about check engine light and horrible gas mileage. When I checked the fuel trims, I found out that they were very high (40%) but only in idle speed. From your videos, I know the problem is big leak in intake. Finally, I realized the purge evap valve was stuck open. By the way, that car was checked by two technician before. Thank you again and I hope that your premium channel will be available soon in Iraq
Nice job man! ScannerDanner Premium is available directly from my website now with no country restrictions. You will just need a PayPal account to subscribe. Hope to see you there!
@@ScannerDannerto My 2009 Buell Ulysses and many other Buell with aluminum frame have computer ground issues caused by unseen with the naked eye resistance caused by dissimilar metal of the computer grounds and that dam aluminum frame . I was getting a DTC light lean O2 only at 70mph + . Light would go out when slowing down below 70mph . Cleaning aluminum ground points where computer grounds we're located was the solution. still will have issue sometime in the future and will have to repeat cleaning of aluminum because of dissimilar metal affect. Bad design
@sparky obrian Sorry man, I misunderstood you. Forgive me. I've just been dealing with trolls all day on Facebook Your comment was valid in that regard. I took it as you saying I was wasting my time showing this fault.
@@ScannerDanner my apologies also, im too quick tempered- the biggest character fault of all, believe me. I wasnt clear either, Im constantly trying to make a trouble shooting job fast and accurate and not loose money, its hard in my field, hence its important to know when to pass on a job.
I stumbled on to this video and I love how well you explain what you are doing. I have never put the time into understanding electronics but now you got me hooked. I plan on learning from your teachings.
honestly I am now a follower. I purchased a Vantage Ultra today, gotta deal on it at $1200. I have all but A2 and L1 on my ASE's and just looking to get even better. Subscribed...
Yo ScannerDanner. Thank you so much for your video mate. I am an AC electrician by trade with electronics background by qualification. I did a 12 year stint working in Auto Electrics during my working life. Never have I seen this explained so clearly. I have learnt so much in that one video. I wish I saw that 12 years ago. Thanks again mate. Just subscribed. Forgot to mention your the first you tube video I have commented on for a Looong Time.
A LIST OF DTC like I have never seen before, came across this video, started to test circ at sensors with a dead battery all sensors are reading 9 plus. think i have found where to begin. Thanks Doc
Great video paul, goes to show that fundamentals really are the key. You could of got this car going in under 10 minutes if it wasnt for your teaching. Your skills inspire me!
Hey Family really tears me up on vehicles like the Torus you just worked on . And again before they bring it to me they are all over it unplugging wires All over the engine! Then Like you said you have to start and plug connectors back in and start to find the problem. And in this case a 1994 Ford Torus with a bad grand near the battery! Jobs like this not much pay Although I do get a Pie once in awhile for working on my Aunt's car! HA! HA!! Like your videos and I learn a lot and refresh things for my Memory especially when I haven't worked on a vehicle in awhile like this Torus. Thanks Paul!
Back in the day it was just straight wired. Probably different manufacturers putting together different parts of the engine bay who knows good job scannerdanner
The man I am no electrician but I sure admire what you did and I was riveted to your video keep up the good work buddy I'm glad she started for you once again you are the man. Keith Kuhn
Thanks for another great one Sensei Danner, we have some well known names here in the UK but are not close to you in any way, you have a unique speed and precision about what you do and how you explain it, i only wish you were in the UK to be able to train me. Until then though i'll keep watching your videos. Love your book by the way, still not even 20% of the way through but it's to the point and not crammed with smalltalk.
Informative as usual. I saw in one your videos that you were using an "Easy-up" shade unit. I think it was working on 95 Jeep (may it rest in peace) A/C. Perhaps by using that all the time, you can stay out of sun to be cooler, keep shadows off. Keep rain off, etc., etc. Just a suggestion. Thanks for taking the time to teach us.
Oh my God! I struggled with a 11v+ reading on the 5v reference wire all day long today! I knew something was off! I’ll try to find that bad ground tomorrow now. Thank you!!!

Hello Paul,
I'm a 59 Yr old fart who was an hgv tech ( semi truck to you & your US bros) for 30 years. Turned my hand to everything but electrics.
Seems to me, I was born with an open ground in my head with a 12v sensor feed to the dark place where electrical understanding is stored. The bulb just never lit.
I have been watchin & lovin your vidz for a while now and thanx to you the grounds are being fixed one by one and the reference signal voltage is slowly coming down.

Thank you friend. I had an auto electric class with almost no hands on and zero mentoring, a lot of it was a waste of time and not applicable to repair work. Reviewed the book we used, it said to dc the sensor to check the gnd wire for voltage drop; of course this made no sense to me as no current is flowing, and this brought me to your video. You have a great talent for auto instructional videos. There are great mechanics but many lack the aptitude for teaching in a coherent easily understood manner. Well done.
Again, beautiful to show how a logical approach makes sense and works. I know you wouldn't normally be working on am electrical system with power applied.
Only thought is mention that whenyou have grounds from different systems connected together like that but not connected to ground, they will seek a lower resistance (via current flow) through the other floating grounds.
That could potentially damage the more fragile circuits e.g. say a headlight seeking ground through the computer lifted ground wire.
Of course the headlights aren't on I'm just using that as an example.
It may have been one of those mercy repairs for a friend but look at the great opportunity it provided for a great example of trouble shooting.
Thanx for you videos!
It's always nice to see someone fix a problem by using their head instead of just guessing at stuff. It's really sweet to fix a problem in a few minutes that everyone else has not managed to repair for the last two weeks. Nice job.
Thank you for this video, I am just converting a loom at the minute and was failing to understand why there was a normal set of grounds and sensor grounds. This video has cleared up the wiring diagram perfectly and I can only thank you for that
My first instinct was a wire-to-wire short to battery power, so it was a surprise to see this was caused by a poor computer ground. As you say, if the computer ground is bad, the computer voltage regulator that produces the 5V standard will have no reference baseline to produce exactly 5V. It was really helpful to hear your remark that every time you've seen it, the problem is not a short to power, it's a bad ground. That's where experience trumps book knowledge, invaluable. Thanks!
Some of the best automotive lessons on TH-cam. Great job explaining some invaluable information. Thank you very much, & please keep the informative knowledge flowing so we can keep absorbing proper, practical, effective, not to mention profitable information. I can't say enough. Thank you sir.
Everytime I watch a Scanner Danner video I feel like we're hanging out and he's personally talking to me and teaching me all kinds of useful information that's easy to learn because of the way he explains things and breaks it down. Another great video my good sir can't wait to watch the next one.
Thank you Joseph!
When I saw the computer laying on the footwell... I thought it was going to be one of those when it is better to run away... and yet you stood your ground. Great!!!& and thanks for taking us along
When I saw the computer on the floorboard I thought it would of been a Honda
Amazing! Great job and thank you for sharing this knowledge! Much appreciated lessons of diagnostics!!
Excellent demonstration of why knowing fundamentals is so important. I can't imagine how much time or the amount BILLED in vain! Money that could've gone to maintenance or tires. .. great video Paul!
Thanks Cuba! And thanks for having my back on FaceBook
@@ScannerDanner Anytime! You're a good person with a beautiful heart. Undeserved punishment.
Same to you sis
EXCELLENT DIAGNOSIS HE KNOWS WHAT IS TALKING ABOUT .
It's very cool how there are layers to what you're teaching. I bought your book and have watched a ton of your videos and once I really got serious about getting better I found more content within videos I'd already watched. I don't think I was ready for that understanding until now but better understanding of principles, finding direction early and just plain old experience is making me a better technician thanks brother, I'm not on your level but I'm getting there. 👍
I like this description "layers"
It truly is this. It all builds and connects with each other, eventually :-)
Thanks for the comment and it does my heart good to hear how much this has made a difference for you.
Your are really master of electrical diagnostics problem 😍. I am loving to watch more and videos instead of social media.
I enjoy your content because of the way you explain everything. Thank you a lot. Always learning from your videos
I tell everyone how great his online program is but not everyone is that smart to take good advice. I'm thankful Mr. Danner
Thank you brother
Thank you for likening my comment. I all ways watch you since back in the day.Your content is the best.Thanks.paul.
I ran across this exact problem with an 88 mustang sending 12v across the board, turned out it had an 86 wiring harness. Thanks for all that you do and for sharing your wealth of knowledge. God bless you brother and keep up the good work!
God bless you too!
Turned out to be not to bad, and you took the Job because we aren't very good at saying no😉.
DiagnoseDan Nice to c u here. The D men. I have been watching him for years. What about u? He really got me started using a scope. I have one of those old MT 2400. Great tool! It even does 240 AC for house work
@@billrimmer5596 Paul is a great teacher Bill😊
Between ScannerDanner & Eric O, they could repair 99.9% of the worlds auto issues, & that pine hollow chap also.
Thanks Paul your the number 1 of automobile diagnostics in youtube God bless you 👍👍👍
BROTHER I HAVE HEARD MANY TIMES TECHS AND MECHS REFERERRED TO AS DOCTORS ,BUT YOU MY FRIEND SHOULD BE REFERRED TO TO A SPECIALIST , MORE LIKE A BRAIN SURGEON ! LOL . YOU ARE DEFINATELY A MASTER BRO ! NO ONE EXPLAINS THINGS BETTER IN LAYMANS TERM THAT EVEN ORDINARY NON TECHS PEOPLE COULD UNDERSTAND !. THANK YOU FOR YOUR WONDERFUL AND IN DEPTH SERVICE MY FRIEND ! for the caps not shouting , just super excited and super expressive about finally finding someone who can def teach me a thing or 2,000,000 lol excellent job and excellent video bro !!! thank You again and again for all You do !
Really appreciate this comment and didn't mind the shouting 😃
@@ScannerDanner lol thank You Brother ! :)
The sweetest sound in the world. When your car finally starts. I use small wire nuts.
Excellent job. You repaired a car that everyone else condemned. It ran and sounded pretty damn good. A tip of the cap to you
Loving your videos! Really opening my eyes to things I “thought” I had an understanding of. Thank you!!
You didn't want to mess with it but you owned it like a boss. Good work and thanks for posting this stuff.
"No one else has been able to fix it" is all the reason I need to take a diagnostics job. ;D
so call "techs" & "mechanicals" needs go back to basics and learn them and aply it. half of the time thats the problems and quit been part changers...this is why danner so good lol ;)
Paul - both you and Eric O are ACE technicians , you both are VERY GOOD at what you do and have VAST EXPERIENCE . I am glad I live in a world with the internet and technologies such as - TH-cam - to be able to watch your videos. Thank you SO MUCH for sharing your wealth of expert knowledge - as automobiles are / have become very sofisticated and it takes so much more technical troubleshooting expertise ( electrical / electronic ) to properly diagnose and repair todays vehicles. Your skills are inspiring - MANY THANKS 👍👍👍👍👍😊😊😊😊✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️
Thanks so much!
Grest diagnoses. Old school ways always do the job.
Brilliant. ...The result is all that matters.
Love the way you explain your thoughts as you go along......
I'm a lapsed motor mechanic/ electrician....comng back to the game and finding all this Electronic/computer stuff on cars is pretty daunting...But you are inspiring me to resolve these problems.... I kinda knew the 5v had to be present at all sensors (Like washing machines!)
So finding it at almost battery voltage... had to be a "grounding" problem somewhere.
BUT.... That was a mega hint on the Fords: No Check Engine light..... Thanks for that.
Big saludos....And thank you.
Hi, I used to love using the Vantage around 15 years ago when I was an auto/electrical tech. Loved the tool, it was well made (in the US :) ) and at one point I actually thought of making it rechargeable since it was quite power hungry. I did use the pro version a couple of times, but did not like it as much as the original. BION but I had a couple of these, in the cases with all the accessories, and sold them on Ebay thinking I may never need them again.
Recently I had a problem (p0325) with an 2003 Honda Element of mine an wanted to see the waveform of the knock sensor - I still work on cars now and then. Obviously you still love using the good old MT2400, but what would you suggest I look into getting to be able to view a wave form? I still use a power probe and was wondering if you had used the new Power Probe PPTM01AS (Maestro), or shall I go for a scope like the Pico, Hanteks, Signstek DSO203 or a multimeter/scope like a Liumy? PS I don't mind using a laptop/tabet - I have a bunch of Toughbooks. Have a great New Year. :)
I watched your video as a starting mechanic about a year ago when I was just starting, I didn't understand then but after watching it again with some mechanical experience it's a GREAT VIDEO SCANNER DANNER YOU DA MAN...
Prime example of how a backprobe can lead one astray. It's so very simple to seal a microscopic pin hole when piercing. 9:00
Exactly Keith!
I have started to lean towards wire piercing also. I have no desire to second guess connections or even worse, the possibility of crossing two terminals and frying the computer. Liquid electrical tape is a lot cheaper!
Prime example of when to pierce
The information you provide in your videos is awesome. I've been looking for this type of explanation that you provide so I can figure out the cam issues I'm dealing with. All the other video's I've seen seem to stop explaining problems once they've solved their issue where you continue to talk about other problems that we could be dealing with and how to diagnose them.
Thank You!
Keep up the great video's!
Good one mister Danner thanks for the video .
Great one Paul. A VERY good lesson in getting initial direction by checking the basics and establishing certain "MUST HAVE's" then going from there. You must have a focused approach to be effective in any diagnosis and repair. I think you presented the point well in that if you don't have a 5 volt reference, (that is supplied by the computer) then you do not have what is needed to make the engine run. It is as basic as trying to start an engine without any fuel.... it will not work. The lack of ground to the computer means that the entire computer was "FLOODED" with 12 volts with no way of working and providing anything else than that battery voltage to ANY circuit. The 5 Volt Regulator Circuit needs a ground to function. I am surprised that the engine ran as well as it seemed to after all that had been done to it. You made a valid point.... diplomatically.... 'I hesitate to take this one on'...... 'freebe'..... but let's see what is missing. Also the point about remembering a similar case from 20 years ago is very valid..... maybe not exactly the same, (although in this case it was), but valid experience just the same and usable in this similar situation. A good combination of UNDERSTANDING, EXPERIENCE, DIRECTION, and MEMORY is unbeatable in so many fields..... LEARN FROM THOSE THAT HAVE IT! Sometimes these ones will also have a good story to relate with the experience that will help you remember the point.... listen to them and remember the lesson. Thanks Paul for your lessons and experiences.
very well summed up my friend, on point exactly! and we need to not be afraid to bill for these types of job. If I'm a garage owner, this is a $150-$180 repair all day long and the customer is happy to pay it. Our knowledge and expertise should not be given away.
That was a really cool case. Your always spot on with the commentary Paul.
Scanner danner my amigo
Thanks...excellent video. Retired senior my job now is keeping our 2 older vehicles purring without going out and buying new like most my friends have. Cars have always been a passion my entire life.
My career however was in photography and I feel your pain about hard sunlight. Back in the day shooting weddings we loved hazy yet still bright days. Hard sunlight made it very difficult indeed. Many a brides mom took offense to us posing them in the shade......but always were thrill when they saw the final results.
We've stepped up our game into 4k, my latest 2 part series shows it and my son Caleb is my cameraman is is researching all of that stuff now. Thanks for the comment!
Hi Paul,
Thanks for sharing your knowledge, skill and experience. Would you please explain how bad computer ground would raise the voltage. if you have covered this in your book please let me know where it has been covered.
It is no different than any other circuit with a bad ground. No current flow = no voltage drop. The ECM board itself has no ground, so all power coming in and circuits trying to operate cause the entire board ground voltage to rise. Hope that makes sense. I could draw it better than describe it. I'm sure I do in one of my playlists I provided here in this description. The ground circuit problems one. There's like 6 videos in that playlist. I think you'll get a better ideas when you see some more. Thank you!
@@ScannerDanner Thanks a lot for your reply.
I’ve been following your channels for years now. It’s always great to watch you. Your approach to teaching is unmatched. Thanks to you Im where Im at today...
I am not a mechanic but learn a lot from your channel. Why was the voltage 11+ volts at the ground wires? how did those bad wires cause that?
Crazy right? It is no different than any other circuit with a bad ground. No current flow = no voltage drop.

@@ScannerDanner makes sense - thought that was the answer but thankful for your expert description! Thanks for all you do! If I were younger and looking for a career I would go to your school/videos etc and enjoy the challenge of auto diagnosis!
Working on a 2015 sierra AC. Found many burned plugs, bad grounds, and a bad fusebox. Git 5v on reference, 12v, and 7v on pressure switch. Checked for all problems I could find in forums and solved a handful of issues with things other than the ac. Thank you for this video, now I have a new direction to look. My biggest fear is replacing the pcu and still getting no power through compressor clutch
Absolutely brillant
I don’t know how I get into this video but you got my attention when u said I don’t know why I took this job and this is the kind of jobs that I love to do
"I'm just going to get it working for now"... Red green translation. "it's only temporary unless of course it works"
I got away from this channel because business is going good from years of following but its fun to watch. Great. Stuff.
To be nice when I troubleshoot a car in 5 minutes and the owner ask why I figured it out (like many times) and my shop didn't? I say they deal with a lot of cars or not their specialty. Defend those who are not present.
I try to remember this. Sometimes I can't though because of some really horrible stuff and thousands of wasted dollars
Defend those who are not present? I don't know about that but it is good to assume the best of people. However if money exchanged hands for a job not properly completed and later more issues maybe major issues arise is just plain bad. I usually say I'll see what I can do for you and try not to mention anyone else because for all I know it could've been the customer who was screwing around trying to fix something. If they have receipts then it's fair play only because I don't want my people to be screwed by a shoty mechanic who accomplished nothing but took money for a job well done. People need to know sometimes mechanic really are out to screw you I've seen it myself firsthand. My cousin lost his Honda accord because a mechanic wanted his payment for the car which he never fixed and the mechanic ended up keeping the accord in the end. He never even moved the car from where we left it on the far end of the lot. This is what got me to want to learn so I could help my family and friends stay on the road safely while not getting screwed by Chris (the mechanic) and losing their transportation. I definitely had plenty to say about that mechanic lol.. I tell everyone he is no good. In the end the court gave him the car due to taking space in his shop even if he hadn't touched it.... that rat bastard!
Looks like Michigan there. Great video. I've been a Mobile Mechanic here in Ann Arbor for the last 15 years and a Mechanic for 30 now and one things certain I am always learning something new!! I love being a mechanic and really enjoy jobs like this, like you said, once solved they pay in spades. I use parts buckets for my tools and fasteners to stay organized (busing tubs or dish tubs) it helps on jobs outside of the shop. I miss my quick strippers (we used to use HEI advance springs to fine tune them when I worked at Roush, ha). Anyways I'll pick up your book and I'm sure I'll learn from it!!
Hey Paul why don't you bring it to your class that's a good test.
Great job of troubleshooting - loved it throughout. Was a good tutorial for me as relates to the 5 volt reference - a few days ago I finally found out where the batt voltage was reduced to the 5 volt ref. :) I see the parallel application of that 5 volts, and it is readily available at the "easy to get to" sensors. Many thanks,
Thanks Paul 👏🔧
I bought expensive tools yesterday but it didn’t fix my problem but when I watched this video,it make sense, thanks Paul for sharing your knowledge.Im still learning from your video 👏👏👏
A Paul are you ever going to do a video with Eric the car guy. again. ?
I would love to!
I just started watching your content and will be purchasing your ebook. I think you're an amazing instructor and would have really enjoyed your classes as a student. I can tell you have an amazing ability and your students feed off it to the fullest! Thank you for teaching and being an inspiration to our youngsters!!
Wow this is a humbling comment. Thank you so much.
Next video: feedback carburetor troubleshooting
Lol
That was helpful. I had a 2002 Dodge 1500 with a no start, checked the ref signal at cam and crank sensor, none. Checked continuity to computer, it was good. Replaced the computer, and all was well. Keep the vids coming.
Where do we find the book
From my website at www.scannerdanner.com
I have a paper book and an eBook.
Thank you!
I WILL DEF BE GETTING IT SOON MYSELF , ITS WORTH IS PRICELESS TO EVERYONE ALIKE !!!!
sorry to be offtopic but does anybody know of a way to log back into an instagram account..?
I was stupid forgot the password. I love any tips you can give me!

@Gregory Christopher Thanks so much for your reply. I found the site through google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff now.
Seems to take a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Wow! You just made my weekend! Can't wait til Monday at work to check what I have been working on. you just made this whole 12v. to 5v. Bad ground. So easily understandable.
I'll definitely be checking your webpage
Thanks and keep up the good work.
A great day when i see a scanner danner video.
Btw another thumbs down..good greif..who's the troll..😲😲😲
Got in influx of new ones from FaceBook lol
@@ScannerDanner Immigrants! Now that I've addressed the boneheaded side of the equation let me just say I hope these kids know how lucky they are to have you as their teacher. BTW my 88 Impulse uses the TPS switch. It only senses idle and WOT. Funny thing about it is normal operation is no pump prime before cranking and OBD1 DTC 12 is normally always stored to indicate that RPMs have been too low at some point during the current key on condition...Duh!
@@ScannerDanner awesome video thank you sir!! I seen this go the other way where a cam sensor on my jeep was reading 1.6v on the signal wire..after verifying I had my full 5 volts supply.. I've learned so much from you..keep em coming
those with a learning disability lol
My personal goal is to see and analyze all your videos, I've already seen 47. I've really learned a lot from you, you're a great teacher, congratulations
I will be in Scanner Danner Premium soon. thanks for everything you are great
awesome! between the two channels (TH-cam and ScannerDanner Premium on my website) there are over 700 videos, so only 650 more to go :-)
Thanks so much!
Where is cale the singing camera man?
At school
Great video professor! That experience to know where to look for that bad ground...that’s invaluable! It probably saved you an hour to go look at wiring diagrams etc. Thanks for sharing! 👍👍👍
This is where you see the dues being paid. The one that took you a long time the first time and lost money, you've been making money from for the last 20 years.
70 Dollars an hour to work on your car , 150 Dollar an hour , if You worked on it First
This was many years ago but the sign read, hourly, 30, 40 if you watch, 50 if you help.
Great video! I have been a tech for 15 years and you have the best training videos!
Scrap the car enough said move on
Great video Mr Danner. I am here to thank you very much because I have learned a lot from your video and one example is : I have checked a 2014 Corolla which is complained about check engine light and horrible gas mileage. When I checked the fuel trims, I found out that they were very high (40%) but only in idle speed. From your videos, I know the problem is big leak in intake. Finally, I realized the purge evap valve was stuck open. By the way, that car was checked by two technician before. Thank you again and I hope that your premium channel will be available soon in Iraq
Nice job man!

Or just watch and learn something. It was a no cost fix.
Edit## read below, this was a misunderstanding on my part.
@@ScannerDannerto My 2009 Buell Ulysses and many other Buell with aluminum frame have computer ground issues caused by unseen with the naked eye resistance caused by dissimilar metal of the computer grounds and that dam aluminum frame . I was getting a DTC light lean O2 only at 70mph + . Light would go out when slowing down below 70mph . Cleaning aluminum ground points where computer grounds we're located was the solution. still will have issue sometime in the future and will have to repeat cleaning of aluminum because of dissimilar metal affect. Bad design
@sparky obrian Sorry man, I misunderstood you. Forgive me. I've just been dealing with trolls all day on Facebook
Your comment was valid in that regard. I took it as you saying I was wasting my time showing this fault.
@@ScannerDanner my apologies also, im too quick tempered- the biggest character fault of all, believe me. I wasnt clear either, Im constantly trying to make a trouble shooting job fast and accurate and not loose money, its hard in my field, hence its important to know when to pass on a job.
Thanks brother. It's hard to gauge intent through text on a screen sometimes.
I stumbled on to this video and I love how well you explain what you are doing. I have never put the time into understanding electronics but now you got me hooked. I plan on learning from your teachings.
Awesome! Thanks so much
honestly I am now a follower. I purchased a Vantage Ultra today, gotta deal on it at $1200. I have all but A2 and L1 on my ASE's and just looking to get even better. Subscribed...
awesome! thank you
Yo ScannerDanner. Thank you so much for your video mate. I am an AC electrician by trade with electronics background by qualification. I did a 12 year stint working in Auto Electrics during my working life. Never have I seen this explained so clearly. I have learnt so much in that one video. I wish I saw that 12 years ago. Thanks again mate. Just subscribed. Forgot to mention your the first you tube video I have commented on for a Looong Time.
Thanks so much!
A LIST OF DTC like I have never seen before, came across this video, started to test circ at sensors with a dead battery all sensors are reading 9 plus. think i have found where to begin.
Thanks Doc
I can relate to that feeling when you know you got it figured out before you got it put back together it's an awesome feeling.
It sure is my friend
Dude ur one of the best mechanics ive ever watched....I enjoy the hell outta ur videos....youve helped me figure things out a lot....keep it up man...
Great video paul, goes to show that fundamentals really are the key. You could of got this car going in under 10 minutes if it wasnt for your teaching. Your skills inspire me!
This is why you’re the best Paul. I’ve been recommending your book to guys at work. Thanks for the video!
thanks so much!
Hey Family really tears me up on vehicles like the Torus you just worked on . And again before they bring it to me they are all over it unplugging wires All over the engine! Then Like you said you have to start and plug connectors back in and start to find the problem. And in this case a 1994 Ford Torus with a bad grand near the battery! Jobs like this not much pay Although I do get a Pie once in awhile for working on my Aunt's car! HA! HA!! Like your videos and I learn a lot and refresh things for my
Memory especially when I haven't worked on a vehicle in awhile like this Torus. Thanks Paul!
Back in the day it was just straight wired. Probably different manufacturers putting together different parts of the engine bay who knows good job scannerdanner
The sun actually helped to see better my friend 🌞🤓 awesome video..! I learn something new every time I watch your videos.
The man I am no electrician but I sure admire what you did and I was riveted to your video keep up the good work buddy I'm glad she started for you once again you are the man.

Thanks for another great one Sensei Danner, we have some well known names here in the UK but are not close to you in any way, you have a unique speed and precision about what you do and how you explain it, i only wish you were in the UK to be able to train me. Until then though i'll keep watching your videos.
Love your book by the way, still not even 20% of the way through but it's to the point and not crammed with smalltalk.
Thank you so much my friend!
Thanks for all the easy to understand info. I work with a OBD2 & Test light
1 day a scanner 👍
Nice work! I see 54 people thumb down your video, sometimes I wonder about humanity. I plan on purchasing your book soon.
agree, what is wrong with these people lol, thanks!
That awesome smile you get when Fix something. Awesome video man thank you so much. I’ve learned so much from your videos.
Informative as usual. I saw in one your videos that you were using an "Easy-up" shade unit. I think it was working on 95 Jeep (may it rest in peace) A/C. Perhaps by using that all the time, you can stay out of sun to be cooler, keep shadows off. Keep rain off, etc., etc. Just a suggestion. Thanks for taking the time to teach us.
I'm in doors now at my brothers shop!
Danner you have pride in your work, it comes across in your videos and makes them excellent to watch
Thanks so much!
Even experienced techs overlook ground wires. Great video! Got my sub.
Thank you my brother!!!! Back to basics. Master the fundementals. I love your book!!!!!
Dude it would be an honor to have a beer with you while digging around the hood of a car. Awesome vid!
