Bernie, this is truly next level MAD SCIENTIST.... I love it!! Will have to show this to my dad who designs and builds magnets for the Cornell Synchrotron lab. I'm working with him this week to analyze and remagnetize "undulator" assemblies that were demagnetized by radiation from a misaligned electron beam. That Honda Pilot was insane. Was the frequency of the CKP signal being messed up? Wish you could graphed the frequency! 🙂
@@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics Ivan, see my message to Bernie above. Such a tool already exists (or did) It was used for erasing VHS tapes back in the day. I've got one,
Unreal...blown away...fixing cars is easy, right? Bernie is one of a kind, i am astounded at the skill and knowledge displayed here. By the way, i looked up the $$$ of that gauss meter...a mere $1000 US...
I am just dumbfounded at this fix. Man, this would have received many, many new parts and still not fixed. I am just thankful that you are not hoarding your knowledge. Keep up loading this vids and we will continue downloading them into our minds
Jesus that was incredible! I can't remember the last time I was completely blown away like I was after watching this. The thing is, you have to have a certain level of intellect to understand how brilliant this guy is. A read out for this video might be something like this: 1.Man diagnoses a problem probably no one else on the planet would have identified. 2. Man consults with a physicist, then engineers and builds a mechanical device from scratch to fix said problem.
Amazing Bernie. Never seen anybody like him who explains and diagnoses so accurately & with great intelligence and his unique techniques with the Escope elite & his unique inventions. Best tech ever in automotive industry. Period.
I fix a lot of cars. I fix a lot of difficult problems. I teach a lot of people how to fix a lot of difficult problems. When I watch a Bernie video, I usually think that I could probably find my way to the correct diagnostic conclusion. This was incredible. I would have been stuck at the crankshaft sensor. I think I watched the back half of this video with my mouth hanging open. Incredible work Bernie. Thank you for bringing me to school today.
Over the years I have met Bernie at training events I always thought A guy that can build his own diagnostic tools was a genius now I know it.Thank you Bernie hope to see you soon
I have to say amazing ! I understand now how important it is to make sure on these modern vehicles that the main ground is routed and attached at the proper place to prevent this from happening. Thanks again Bernie for another great one !
Great find, great instructional video! I know a television repair tech that would degauss the crt (picture tube) using a 100 watt soldering gun. Squeeze the trigger on the soldering gun and it produces a strong alternating magnetic field. Move the gun around close to the area you want to degauss. These soldering guns are actually step down transformers. The soldering tip gets hot because it is connected as a short across the transformer secondary with high current flowing through it. It would be interesting to test the strength of the field emitted from one of these old school soldering guns.
You are great! Most shops would love to have you around. You passion for diagnosis and the science that surrounds it is astonishing. Clearly you are an inspiration to wrenchers like me.
That’s a phenomenal video. Seriously Bernie, AMAZING. You are a legend! Keep up the good work! Making this industry better, one video at a time. Thanks for all you do!
I think I still have a head demagnatizer laying around for read heads in cassette players and vcr's from back in the day. Same principle as Bernie's but on a much smaller scale. Amazing video as always.

You’re an absolute genius, saint, and legend forever.
This truly should be paid content. What an amazing watch thank you so much for putting this together for us. 10yr gas drive ability tech, and my local “headache” solver. I wouldn’t have ever found this. At least not so thoroughly and cost effectively!! Beautiful work I’m truly in awe.
at 52:55 he deduces that its the trigger wheel? HOW? I troubleshoot complex computer networks for a living and I would have missed that diagnosis, I am not sure where I would have gone next but it would not have been the wheel. I am always humbled and amazed at very smart people and the intuitive leaps their brains are able to make!!!! I may never achieve their ability but I can sure appreciate and envy it!!! Thanks Lee
Thank you Master Sensei Bernie Thompson for sharing this invaluable source of information. You are a phenomenal teacher. Also thank you for your knowledge on the Diagnostic Network. 🙏
wow I always know when you upload a video it is going to be Great I am always Looking forward to when you Upload a vid Thanks for Sharing Amazing Job and Find as Always !!!
Speechless. I wonder if the customer appreciated how much money you saved them. Some shops, even dealers if they found what you found with the Gaus Meter, would of quoted to replace the wheel. Then if they replaced it and didn’t fix the ground issue. Comeback! AWESOME 👏
Excellent. Thank you for sharing. I have an inductive heater, called the bolt buster or something like that, which will accomplish the same task of demagnetizing metal. Very good thought process. Again, thank you for sharing.
Absolutely Amazing Bernie.! It's always about those grounds, isn't it.?! Lol I will definitely pay more attention to those. Thank you Bernie for sharing this with us all.
Great video Bernie !!..when I was an inspector for the airlines we used magnetic particle inspection to look for cracks in metal like landing gear etc…always had to use a commercial degausser after we magnetized the gear…cheap way is to use a hammer or heat the metal to its Curie temperature which is over 1,000 degrees…if I were use I’d use a hammer first…LOL !!
I worked at a machine (tool & die) shop for nearly a decade. We had a Blanchard grinder that ground down the thickness of the extrusion dies we built. It used a giant electromagnetic table to hold the dies still while it rotated under the stones. After we ground it to the correct thickness and we shut the table off, it would pulse the magnet on and off for a minute or two while it demagnetized the steel dies. I'm definitely not sure of the science behind it, but we also had smaller demagnetizing tools out there and it seemed like all of them pulsed on and off during the process.
This one brings back memories of late 80s fords with magnetized trigger wheels in the distributor messing with the halleffect pickup. Our Gauss meter back than was a paper clip on a thread lol.
Great video as always. On the degausser a few thought. You may want to try to convert this into a U-magnet. With just a simple pole, you are not completing the magnetic circuit and the field is bleeding out through the sides of the solenoid. If you can provide a complete magnetic circuit from north to south pole, then the flux should be even more concetrated. For the windings, it might be a good idea to dip the windings in some kind of varnish or thin epoxy. Doing this is a vacuum degasser would eliminate any air pockets. With only tape around the wires, they could still manage to vibrate enough to wear through the insulation and create a short circuit.
I am totally blown away with this diagnosis. I have never seen this before. Didn’t even know that target wheel and crankshaft can get magnetized. I am still confused by the reason why this had happened. I had never seen car were ground cable goes straight to starter itself it is always bolted to engine block.
Thanks Mr. Thompson. This open my eyes on scope tool. I did get one lesson on the 2005 Nissan after market cam sensor. one ran for 1 year and when it fail, the second one ran only one day. I lost because I thought 3 wire sensor got digital signal and it should not effected by too strong magnet. too strong magnetized cam reluctor wheel cause the sensor ground the signal 100 % time. car wont start. I now know. I should pulling the sensor out the hole and it may start the car. I would think to try the new OEM sensor. The OEM sensor got a metal shell over the tip so it wont get effected by the cam reluctor wheel either too close to the sensor nor got magnetized. DVOM is not working on this problem.
So awesome,,, Just to learn to watch where the injectors are hitting in the cam waveform, so much to learn from this video alone.. really great stuff, Hats off to Bernie.. Mad scientist indeed..
Visual inspection is KING! I would have seen and replaced that cable before even getting the scan tool or scope out. I believe that a new/proper cable install would have solved the problem and avoided days of effort.
Awesome just awesome if bernie opened the hood and did a quick visual inspection and changed the ground cable without any data I would have fainted from the sheer brilliance of bernie Thompson 😁😁😁👍👍👍👍
Excellent informative video Bernie. Thanks for sharing your time and knowledge. First video I’ve ever seen on this kind of problem. Will watch it a few time to get a better understanding. 👍
Excellent video, Bernie. It's possible that a tape head degausser, used through the sensor hole, would minimize the teeth magnetization sufficiently, and also level the difference in mag strength between teeth. The mag strength between teeth may be messing the the sensor electronics which probably has compensation circuitry to "zero" or ignore some level of residual tooth magnetism (pretty common with magneto resistive sensors). If the tape head degauuser didn't work, then a TAPE degausser might work held to the sensor hole, or directly on the teeth with the oil pan removed. Last, you can hold the degaussing coil stationary while someone else rotates the crank. And a reminder to gradually pull the coil back before you switch of coil power, otherwise you can remagnetize the nearest teeth again.
Nice information. I remember my dad a Radio/TV tech out of the army showing me how to De-gauss a CRT and Rat screens He used a 12" dia coil no onff switch and it was plugged into the 110 outlet ( early 70's). I figure it had to have a current limiter, But was it cool to see the interaction with the screens. I have never thought of doing what you did with using a smaller version.
My Dad was a TV tech too, with a degausser that I would describe just as you did. It would get a little warm. Back in the 70s. It was heavy and must have had a lot of coils. It was wrapped in electrical tape, so the coils couldn't be seen. Looked like a steering wheel with an electrical cord coming from it.
Awesome! I'm having one question for you...IS IT POSSIBLE IF SOMEBODY WELDING SOMETHING ON THE CAR AND MADE SAME MAGNETISM? Also, one tip or advice, you can upgrade that oscilloscope if you have arrows left-right to sides of windows for faster scrolling.
Bernie, can you please elaborate on your comment that ground was rerouted. On Honda V6, there is a ground cable that attaches from top of the radiator support to the transmission. The factory battery ground cable does not connect to starter, but just goes to the body metal by the battery. So my question is, was that transmission ground cable on the car and if it was, was it really frayed and crusty?
I just replaced the pcm. Coil drivers going bad causing studder and stall after checking all grounds. Customer had hard wire from battery to coolant temp sensor with ecm muzzler junk too problem solved. Deleted all aftermarket garbage including remote start and all is well after timing belt and intake boot. Many 2009 and up tl’s have driver issues too especially after any accidents.
Amazing. That variac is probably autotransformer, so its output isn't galvanically separated from mains like yours transformer (much safer). I will try from some coil and core from bigger relays...
I really like your videos, you are very professional on what you do... i would like to ask you if you can make a video over the jerk issue with the 2013 ford explorer. no codes. thanks
I love the ATS Escope. Your content made me get the limited and the Elite 8ch not to mention every other type. One question after getting your 360 with your mark cam , dont the degrees over time only apply to that section of the capture? wouldn't the degrees be off if your measuring against another section of the waveform if the engine speed varied from the spot where you marked the 360?
I can't imagine 16 gauss vs 250-300 of the sensor causing problems. Also the problem would be periodic with crankshaft revolution....makes me wonder if something messed up inside the ecm with triggeri voltage levels. Could the collapse of the magnetic field from the incorrectly routed starter cable damage the ECM through the crank sensor coil? Thinking about the waveform, there is electronics inside the sensor to shape the waveform into a square wave...maybe the new sensor got damaged by the first crank. I keep forgetting about the sensors in the phone...they are 3 axis. With a graphing app I think you could do a quick relative compression check by holding phone next to battery cable...I need to try it. A doorbell transformer may work. Excellent diagnosis!
A big problem with the automotive repair industry is good diagnostic is not rewarded. Let’s say a tech spends 20k on the best diag equipment, studies,and trains. Tech “A” without that equipment or knowledge charges hours for diag and thousands on parts. Then tech “B” with the best stuff and procedures finds a bad ground in 45 minutes. There is no reward for the investment. I am a really good diag guy and I left the industry because I had to repair 2 or 3 times as many vehicles as a hack to make the same money. Fixing these problem cars from shops was so easy for me it was funny but after some time I became resentful and couldn’t do it any more.
I totally agree especially in the US. In Singapore, shops have a technical team that works on a fixed income. All they do is what Bernie does. They’re are evaluated based on accuracy of diagnosis. Cars in Singapore are very expensive because of the way they’re sold. So no owner wants it sitting in a shop.
Can you give us more details on how you make your degausser? Im at my 3rd and they all end up by burning. I have the same issue on a timing gear. Thank you!

Bernie, can you please elaborate on your comment that ground was rerouted. On Honda V6, there is a ground cable that attaches from top of the radiator support to the transmission. The factory battery ground cable does not connect to starter, but just goes to the body metal by the battery.
