For more information on this topic, I have written a “field manual” called Engine Performance Diagnostics which is available at www.scannerdanner.com as an eBook or paper book.
Want even more diagnostic training? Whether you are a DIY trying to fix your own car, someone looking to become an auto technician, or a current auto technician that wants to get more into diagnostics, subscribe to ScannerDanner Premium www.scannerdanner.com/join-sc... There is a 14 day free trial.
On ScannerDanner Premium I will bring you right into my classroom at Rosedale Technical College. You will find page for page lectures taken right from my book as well as exclusive classroom type case studies. What is so special about these classroom case studies? I pull live problem vehicles directly into my classroom and we troubleshoot them in real time, using and applying the theory and testing procedures we learn during the classroom lectures. There is no better on-line training of how to troubleshoot automotive electrical and electronics systems anywhere!

I went to a napa training seminar one time fee was 125. It's was useful but this is better training to serve you anytime of the day you want. If your a mechanic your not making money until you take this class and be the guy at work who puts fires out.
Thanks again Mike! Comment pinned once again. People maybe don't realize how inexpensive it is to spend a year with me, less than a 1 day class!
I've been a decent mechanic for decades, and I have learned so much from watching your channel. I bet you are the best mechanic in the world! Thanks!
I'm definitely not but thanks so much and I'm really glad you're learning from these!
You have a big heart for your students and the automotive industry. I see a man put his time and money into such worthy places. God bless you always.
Thank you Paul and happy new years to you and your family.
I really enjoy your videos, I am still learning at 62.
Mr Danner sir thank you very much even tho I am a fellow instructor you have taught me so much. I am very grateful for the lessons and the love you have for our industry. As soon as I am able I will buy your book, thanks again sir
Your a good man paul for helping the young students an other people. You will be blessed in many ways.thank you.. I wish I could meet you an shake your hand.
It's funny how 5 years ago this entire concept would blow my mind, now it's like speaking a second language. Thanks for what you do Paul and Happy New Year to you my friend.
The premium channel is awesome and well worth the cost. I'm just a DIY'er who wants to learn more on the electrical side of a vehicle. I've already learned a bunch.
Thank you Wayne!
Danner, my prayer for you this year is that the LORD continually anoint you to this work. You have inspired me as a self taught technician and I gave learned so much from your knowledge and wisdom. May GOD bless you and your family, your channel and all your endeavors.
HAPPY NEW YEAR PAUL and FAMILY ❤️️ Join up guys you will not regret it. It has become a part of my daily routine and part of my life. Every day I watch a video another light bulb in the old brain lights up even if I've watched the same class numerous times. Young and just starting to look for a career or older like myself who just wants to stay knowledgeable in an ever-changing environment. Plus it's always fun to learn so signup guys and enjoy Paul his son Caleb and his brother James a few laughs while learning. Paul your updates are a great addition ❤️️
Wish I would have found you earlier I've learnt heaps from you, you help so many
Great information, as always. Been a long time viewer, and have benefited greatly from the knowledge. Everyday on my way to work I would listen to a video in the background. It's amazing, the amount of parts changers out there! Can be frustrating, depending on where you're working as a technician when dealing with parts changers. Anyways, just wanted to thank you for all the great content, and let you know that out here in Northern California your teachings are just as appreciated as everywhere else! If I were in the Pittsburgh area I'm sure i would've gone to Rosedale Tech. But I need to give a shout-out for my technical college, Butte College Automotive in Chico CA. Great school as well! Razor sharp instructors, beautiful facility, reminds me of Rosedale (whenever you show pictures of the classroom or shop). Thanks again! I look forward to every new video release!
Your channel is one of my favorites. Informational, educational, with just a hint of spiritual. All good qualities to keep current subs and great content to attract new subscribers. Your premium channel has helped me a lot. It's very well organized and easy to follow along. I keep notes when I leave for a while so I can remember where I left off. I don't comment as much as I use to but be assured I'm still learning.
I had the pleasure of meeting you at the final ETCG meetup in Ohio. Looking forward to learning from you even more in 2020!
This video would've been handy for me about 3 years ago. I had to learn all of this on my own to diagnose my '99 Explorer. It had all of the symptoms of a bad crank sensor (no spark, no RPM signal, check engine light on while cranking), but the sensor was good. Turned out to be a bad ECM. The ECM basically acted like it wasn't getting a signal from the crank sensor, even though it actually was getting a perfect signal. I bought a used ECM off Ebay, but still had to tow it to the dealer to reprogram the PATS. It was finally fixed after that. But I did pretty much all of the same testing you did first (I wanted to be 110% sure before going through the hassle of towing to the dealer!)
Muchas gracias!!! Paul estoy muy agradecido por todos tus videos y por ende todo el esfuerzo que has puesto en hacerlos. LLevo años siguiendote y dejame decirte que tu ingles es tan bueno que no tengo problemas en entenderte. Saludos desde Caracas Venezuela
Awesome job as always. Thanks for all you do for the automotive community.
Always look forward to your videos. Thank you for sharing.
I am subscribed to your premium channel, there is some really good content on there! Keep up the good work mate 💪
I truly appreciate for your support and help us lot to explore automotive concepts.
I am from India.
HAPPY NEW YEAR PAUL! You're the man,I'd love to meet you! 👍
This is major step up it will be awesome with a major guest in Brandon. I would make the trip over the Atlantic for it but have kalready booked in May for my annual Italian trip. For those who don't have premium it is really detailed and well structured and takes you on a journey from the most basic circuits through to how to figure out complex systems you have never seen before.
Thank you Andy for looking over the forum for me and helping out so many in our community!
Great lesson. Easily understood. On a side note, there are a lot of situations where a signal generator is useful. I added one to my arsenal a long time ago.
Thanks Paul for this class I hope that you have a great new year ☺🔧👏
Best of the New Year to you and yours Paul. Cheers.
Scanner danner I've been watching your videos for a while now and I've been learning alot your videos has gotten me thruw alot of diagnostics I have a regular scanner and all data and Mitchell's and multimeter nothing fancy but I really appreciate you helping out the community thankyou for your help happy new year's
Happy New Year, brother! Been another great year here. Thank you for all you do!
I've found the different types of crank sensors are my weak spot. I confuse one for the other, then forget how the other works. Sucks getting old! I need to brush up on all that on your Premium channel.
I don't have a Facebook account - I still talk to the people I want to talk to from my past, but the rest, I'd rather leave in the past, if you know what I mean. Hoping I can get out there in May, but the way things go around here, I won't know until we're closer to then. Seems like every single thing I own is now 20 years old and failing all at the same time. Just broke my favorite Snap-On ratchet a few weeks back - got that in '00 when I was at MMI in Phoenix! Had my ancient TV fail, then the flip phone, tire balancer, wifi unit, and of course normal breakdowns on the fleet of vehicles I own (mostly the newest one! The '07 Silverado). I've also had to fix my 20 year old Blue Point multimeter I also got when I first arrived out west in '99. When it rains, it pours, every time. Hopefully things turn around by then, lol! Anyway, enough of me whining about life! God bless you, brother Paul!
Nice ! Happy New Year Paul !
Happy New Year to you & yours Paul! 👊
I was working on a mercedes ml350 and had a crankshaft sensor code.the sensor is a three wire sensor so i tested each wire and i had 5volt ref,second wire i had another 5volt which i knew is the signal wire which uses a pull down system from what i have learn on ur channel so definitely the last wire is a ground wire.i back probe the signal wire and unplug it and still i had 5volts.base on this teste i knew my integrity of the wiring to the ecm is good so i knew my problem is focus on the crankshaft sensor and signal plate.i wanted to pull the signal wire to ground and listen for some kind of reaction which is the bypass test for pulldown.but i didn't have the courage to do that on an diesel engine since i haven't try it on diesel engine and moreover the car is an expensive car so i was afraid to blow the ecm...i have try it on many petrol cars and it works 100%.Mr scanner i think u are the best teacher i know on the Internet and the best auto diagnostician ever.i have bought ur ebook but i haven't been parts of ur class but the free videos on utube has made impact in my life and people are wondering where i got my skills from.what i have learnt from utube channel is not even taught in our university in Ghana.thanks u very much,u are my God father and my Hero.
Thank you so much my friend
great content, im a electromechanical engineer student in my last semester, and i'm starting to specialize in the electric industry, and im really interested in diagnostic jobs on cars mostly the electric and electronic side, and with your knowledge and videos its really helpful. basically everything is almost the same, just the scale is different in a car.
ive seen others ¨mechanical youtubers¨, but you sir are the best, greetings from baja california, mexico :D
Means a lot coming from a guy in your field
Happy new year to you too paul
And god bless you and whole family
Congratulations for what you do for the students that want to better their skills. I follow you daily from Venezuela and Iam sorry not being able to get premium from down here...some day. HAPPY NEW YEAR. Keep up your EXCELLENT job.
If you have a credit card we can get you signed up outside of PayPal email me at support@scannerdanner.com
I would harpoon a wire if I thought I would gain a result for one restrictive reason or another. Plus how often in that cars lifetime will you be revisiting that situation. Not often. Oh, God bless Mr Danner for all he has done. Pierce on.
LOVE FROM DOHA QATAR, You are Champ. I have learned a lot from you. Thank you Sir :) God Bless You
Your doing some great things, Godbless you and your family.
your videos are amazing they have helped me out allot and gained my confidence too thank you
You are amazing, and I appreciate your effort to do so.
Wish you happy new year 2020.
I hope god bless you with healthy and prosperous new year.
Thanks a lot for helping us understanding automotive concepts.
You deserve only thumbs up, we learn a lot from you thanks for sharing your knowledge
HAPPY NEW YEAR🗽🎆 to You & Family, Wish you a Prosperous Year Ahead & Many More to Come❤
Wish, I could be there, but the only way I can attend is TH-cam, looking forward to the Awesome lectures coming
Lot's of prayers for you and your family🙏 for the time and efforts you made to teach people and help them changing their lives
Only a Kind Hearted Person can hold these feelings for others👍
Lot's of Love & Stay Blessed😎
I am a newbe only watching since 2014 your premium channel is gold dust I have made money and become a better tec from your teachings thank you. Best of luck for 2020.Two thumbs down already wha is wrong with these people 😜
Scanner Danner doing a video about Scanner Danner doing a video about........ Scanner Danner doing a video. 😀
We say we can never get enough of this guy. This one really gives it all to his students. Teaching is a hard thing. It requires patience and time. I am amazed at his willingness to keep going over his points so that his students get a solid foundation.
Happy New Year to all
Love that charity work you are doing. Good for you and the underprivileged.
Having a SD event would be unbelievably cool
I just learned this interisting , ive been looking up videos pertaining to what im working on , and up pops Dan , everytime ..lol
I gotta find the book and check this channel out , i hate feeling lost on my own vehicles ( mostly chevy truck ) , when i have problems
Haha nice! My name is Paul Danner btw. Thank you!
Don’t have FB but I do have SD Premium. 🤙🏻
Hope 2020 brings us SD pocket screwdrivers and test lites.
I 2nd the screwdrivers, have about 7-8 test lights I figured out the other day. A few are meant but there's extras I bought forgetting what I had. 😂😁😅
I'll third that for screwdrivers and test lights. You can't have too many test lights or screw drivers.
I want a verus so I have the same equipment when I’m following your videos.
Happy 2020 , thanks for the video, and God bless you, 🙏👍👍👍👍👍
Paul your awesome my man way to give back and great videos !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
we have been with you right from the start from all of us here in New Zealand ..God Bless you & we"re all on a mission from god
Yes we are my friend
Happy new Year theacher!!
Happy New Year. I wish you a long life, with all health and happiness, God bless you
Scanner Danner, I’m liking your videos more each time I see them. Tell Dan he’s lucky he has a brother like you and vs versa
My brothers name is Jim and my name is Paul, our last name is Danner 🙂
Thank you so much!
@@ScannerDanner boy every time I guess I end up with egg on my face. I’ll get it right someday. Thanks Paul
@@williegillie5712You have no idea how many times I get the name dan l o l not your fault at all, brother
thank you for this video SD.
Sweet. I am putting int he request for Time off on May 29th and the following Monday. Heck yeah. I've been wanting to ride Steel Curtain at Kennywood anyway. Friday, meet and greet, Saturday class, and Sunday fun!
Awesome!
SCANNER DANNER PREMIUM!!!!!!
ITS THE WAY TO GO👍
You’re Awesome Brotha ...!!!!
I'm glad this channel is cheap because let's face it as time goes on we forget. Paul keeps the price cheap enough to come back. Im going in for another years worth of study. You can't possibly get better training.
Watching reruns of SCANNDANNER videos, because great content is rare on TH-cam, and few and far between on here!! Lol
Let's start chanting to get a new video every hour!! If we all chant loud enough, Paul will hear us!! Hahahaha
Was teaching all this week, with my cameraman son, so we did no editing. I'll have something next week for you guys 😀
Ever thought about branching into heavy equipment? Lol. My industry needs someone like you.
Very nice video thanks sir i ever wait your videos from saudi arabia
Happy New year. Danner
Happy New year you too,
Pray for Australia
I can’t wait for May, Paul! I’m hoping for a huge turnout!
Me too PJ! I should have the sign up for within a week or so and I will make sure I share it with you to spread the word
ScannerDanner think it’s possible to have a flyer made? I’ll take them to some of the local shops here in Pittsburgh, if so.
@@VoltageDropDiagnostics yes of course, we can just print one from the web page when it is done
ScannerDanner perfect.
Thank you teacher and my hero
Nice vidéo,thank you for thé lesson
Thanks 👍 good video Mister Danner
I'll just say hello from Mount Cobb PA 10 minutes from scranton. still have a lot to learn from videos before schooling yet. I'm pretty capable working on small engine equipment.
I believe you can get a signal generator for automotive testing now days, it would be nice if they were incorporated in testers like the Vantage Pro. Thanks again and have a Happy New Year.
Excellent work Thanks
i've been watching many of your videos and like what you do. i wish i could take one of your classes but i live CA
sign up for my Premium channel from my website, you can take my classes remotely
Thank you!
HAPPY 2020 NEW YEAR
Bring it on!!!! Oh Yeah: Happy new year
Love your videos man will try and sub to the monthly ...reminds me of tech school fall asleep sometimes too ..lol
Lol
Great video.
Hope that get together at the school is a success and you do more of them! I won’t be able to make this one
Happy new year danner
That is a good thing to give money to students they are the future, nice to help others like homeless. We at the ScannerDanner community have got a ton of help also thanks for that.
Figured I'd mention, you can just put a clamp meter around the CKP wire and watch for milliamps.
Super easy. 👍
Awesome work you’re doing in teaching new as well old techs. Will be joining scanner premiuim
happy 2020
Have New year's
Have a great time thanks
Y por supuesto Súper Like!
good teaching
thx, nice video
Hi Paul, u instruction series has been an enormous help to me even better has allowed me to better advise and help others. I’d like to suggest some areas where I am looking for better info and training, and not finding much that is structured and educational online, and that u cld consider expanding into. This include explaining operating principles and testing of ADAS systems, more on ATX electronics systems and testing, and finally hybrid and EV systems (the latter is a bit tricky coz of the very different and very real dangers and high voltage risks).
Interested in your thoughts
Alex
I feel like you had mentioned in older videos that pcm's don't always monitor/update certain data pids if the engine isn't running. It may have been about attempting to bypass test a map sensor or a maf sensor where the engine wouldn't run, and a bypass test also didn't work because the pcm wasn't monitoring that circuit (even though wire integrity was good.) I'm curious if this car was the same way-without a crank sensor signal, the pcm simply wasn't expecting/even looking for a cam signal - which is why there were no loss of crank signal codes. Perhaps if you unplugged the crank sensor once the engine was running the code would come up. Interesting. Just like you mention-it would be nice if the pcm was smart enough to see a cam signal without a crank signal and scratch its own head and set a code!
Happy new years :)

From Nick Ayivor from London England UK 🇬🇧
Paul any chance Brandon will do a lecture online that viewer's can pay to watch .I'm sure it would be a success for those who cannot get to his lectures. There's ways to be able to do that I'm sure.Maybe you could ask him as like I have said it would be a great way of reaching out to a wider audience. Thanks
That would be on him. I believe for what he is doing, it would take money out of his pocket (well deserved money) if he produced a video on this. I will not be filming his portion of the event but most likely will be for my part of it. Thank you!
@@ScannerDanner I understand Paul .It was only a suggestion .I was not asking for you to record the lecture and put it on your channel for the content .But wondering if Brandon had considered charging people to view his lecture at the full price it would cost if you were to attend his lecture only it would be online for those who could not get to the U.S. But like I say was only a suggestion. All the best to you and your family.
Sir happy new year thanks
Thanks!
How do u p1000 how do u run all monitors? I've had this code on 3 different ford's lately and cannot get them to turn off
Happy new year Danner, you are a wonderfull person. How much are your lectures usable on diesels and european cars?
I do not work on any diesel systems other than my RV. We just do not have many of them here in the US. As for Euro cars, I do not teach manufacturer specific stuff, I teach universal principles that apply to everything on the road, including much of a diesel system.
Not on Facebook, but am a Premium Channel subscriber. Please keep us posted about the class coming up. I may fly out there to attend if possible. Are you or anyone else going to the TST Big Event this year?
not sure about the TST event yet
Thank you buddy On any model the tachometer Well move to see Crank sensors signal Well cranking or just on fords😅👀
I’m always learning from you, now could have use the verus for this type of testing on this vrs senor?
Of course
You had me laughing Professor. If ya don't have FB I don't blame you because it, well it's like a vacuum cleaner it sucks.
Go take a break. Yeah I'm gonna go look at my eyelids for a while now. Good stuff Professor.
Do you have case with that two wires shorted just together, did the bypass test works than?
Happy New Year to you and yours family.
So Paul after you determined it was the sensor do you also teach the trick with a cordless drill with the key chuck to induce the signal. That way you can bench test old vs replacement? Use to start the MB 190E when crank sensor went bad with a drill rpm was all over the place but engine ran. Great teaching the younger guys with that trick.
Good to educated the next generation I'll let them lead the automotive industry and computerized cars into the future
Have you ever tried the ditex sensor generator tool. Watch the data pid, induce tool signal into the harness, and watch rpm signal move according to your parameters on the tool. This verifies circuit integrity from sensor to computer and ground wire. Also seeing the data react, we confirm computer processes the signal. You would still need to backprobe the sensor itself to see if the sensor does not produce signal, but the generator eliminates wires and computer immediately 😀
