Hey there man.. what's happening. I'm just now getting into this same issue. I'm no mechanic though but can do smaller things easily on a vehicle. Crank sensor is no biggie but you mentioned it being behind the transfer case. Is that the last word on it.. meaning yeah it's a must to do that. No end around to reach it? Any advice is appreciated from me here in my driveway looking at a crank no start 2007 Suzuki XL7 AWD 3.6 lol. Later..
ScannerDanner recommends this, I've been trying to see if there are developers that are modding newer DSOs that have 2 & 4 channel options which are upgraded versions from the same manufacturers, it is weird that AES is not using those newer devices to flash their firmware to boost sales.
Having Marie help you with your car reminds me when I would hit a wall working on my truck and my wife would come out to the garage giving her perspective on the problem and a hand if needed, and it helped me get energized again to tackle the truck from a new angle. Those were good memories.
Just came across your video using the U Scope, just got one in today finally after the UPS driver decided to drop it off at a unknown address, on my street but luckily, they brought it to me in one piece lol. I been messing around with it, really like it so far. Seems like a very powerful little tool once I get the hang of it. Another great take on your process in Diagnosing, about as real world as you can get. Thanks Man.
Despite you're feeling tired and cranky I was able to understand the hall effect waveform and what you are looking for. This is the first time I got it after watching most of your videos twice.Thanks again for being such a great educator for anaogue types like myself trying to understand a digital world. Thank you
Even though new machine is not comfortable to use. I think it sped up the diagnosis. Power a half rate is bad. I guess at the hidden end we can see why. Never down play your knowledge. Everyday it is a learning day. Being late makes things hard as well. Glad you still made the late night video. Good work.
Thank you for another great video Mr. O. I hope the "youtubers" are leaving you alone enough that you keep making these videos. Lots of us really appreciate them. They are extremely educational, and it is always very satisfying following along through the story of you figuring out what no one else could!
Well, there's your problem right there, Eric!! This is the big 3.6l. Had you gotten the small 3.6l, it would have been sooooooo much easier to fix!! Please keep this in mind for future car repairs!!
Eric great seeing you use the u-scope. Guess will learn it together. Worked all day changing wife's timing belt and water pump. Car has 58000 miles it's a 1999 accord EXL PULLED off all the belts and for a car that's 19yrs old and always garaged and never in the elements not one belt had any cracks or signs of wear. Attachment hardware looked brand new. Used the crank super socket and it came off like melted butter. Looking forward to part two of this video. And yes I'm in the rust belt of Long Island NY. GOOD VIDEO ❤️ go home and get some mumbo jumbo
Hey we watch you every day. I have a 07 Suzuki Xl7 limited. I wanted to say GM scan tool works just fine as it is equinox torrent equal. To a point. It's got a lot from the GM parts bin
Instead of doing the Hokey Pokey, I cut the wire and put in a bare connector with loose heat shrink. That way I can check circuit resistance first before crimping them together and after have a solid connection for my probes. It’s really easy to cut right through those thin strands or poke off to the side and get the wrong data.
Its a Suzuki Saturday!. Suzuki , your Chapter 11 auto maker. 30 years in Canada gone, US Market exited...more room for Yota , Hondoo and their crazy aunt Hyundai.
Eric, when you went to the meters section..if you wanted to see the voltage the whole time, you scroll down to the min/max and press OK and the min max will be shown on main screen until you either turn meters off or turn scope off.
Nice diagnosis but the pad frisbee would have put it over the top especially when it's not mine :D When I get to the point of launching something my logical side kicks in and $$ signs go thru my head and I go sit down or I pick up something cheap. The Astro lights can take a beating HAHA.
It's not an "Official" SMA video without the compressor firing off. :) Good troubleshooting technique. Excellent mention of the amplitude of the waveform. I would run into correct, but low amplitude waveforms in a lot of electronics.
Nice one Eric, very perceptive of you to realize it was low output, initially it looked good, i would say the that the owner misread Crank for Cam, easily done they look similar...Fred in Uk.
i could realy use that luanch you could send it my way. i need it so i can up my mobile mechanic bussness. the bosh 1300. is a good tool. but reading the codes and and diag. data is no where near enough. i cant make more $300 to $500 a week on a good month. a tool like that would realy step things up and a good scope of course. i know you wont send it but i can at least say thank you so much for the videos. you danner and PHAD have realy helped me out with the videos and now im able to work on the nwer vehicles with out being forced to spend $50000 to go back to school.its been so great in that part of my work and i have been able to teach my son so he can maybe someday take things over and just maybe do way better then i could ever do thank you.. keep up the great videos lord knows we need them...
No wonder I didn't remember the 1st part.... you just posted it today too. Lol. That scope is pretty easy to use and get the hang of. Not too bad to view and save on the PC too.
Lots of TAN wires! haha- Its the Tan car- Put a banana in the tail pipe! (Beverly hills cop) This is a great example why you need scan tools- whole library of schematics for cars on database. plus constant new ones added electronically on these tools. Either that or Eric would need a thousand repair books clogging up his shop ....
I usually run my verus as a chevy equinox, it reads the Vin correctly. I learned that when I had one teeing to find cam actuators, and the chevy dealer kept telling me we don't sell suzuki parts, im like just run the Vin, it's an equinox.
I see this a lot on the Hyundai’s. They will actually run but have the fault stored and when scoping they have lower than expected amplitude. New one usually cures em up.
How do you like your Autel Diagun 4? I got mine about a month ago and I am consistently impressed with what all it will do for $500ish bucks. I just got my uscope earlier this week nice to see I'm not the only one struggling to get used to that little tool but I've already used it quite a bit. 👍
If you still have the vehicle at the shop, Try building it manually in one of your scan tools as a 2008 Chevy equinox. That is definitely a gm 3.6 engine. i know how much a pita it is to get to that sensor, i dropped the engine and transmission out on a traverse to replace the wiring harness and i was like that is where they hide that thing. hahaha
Your not the only one thats had issues getting codes from the xl-7. CAN doesnt play nice with a host of scanners. Launch and OTC ive had issues getting it to link period and or get in through the dealer side.
I thought this was a problem on mine but it just stopped running while driving then the starter would engage but it wouldn't crank the engine at all. Put a new starter and still same problem... Can't figure it out but was running normal before. Checked fuses relays all good. Wondering if it's ecu getting random codes always changing. But don't get why the new starter isn't engaging the gear to spin the flywheel it's wierd.
You mentioned problems with your scan tools communicating with the vehicle, maybe try the Tech2? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought Suzuki used a lot of GM parts, and the same factory scan tool.
Hi Eric, I admire youre video's and youre nolice. But you are telling us that de crankshaft position sensor sends a signal to the ECU. In fact the CKS grounds the 5 or 12V bias voltage from the ECM when its working properly.. So when you are measuring the CKS from the ECU you should see 5 or 12V from the ECU to the CKS. Greetings from Hans out of the Netherlands
I need some of your testing tools. I've been trying to solve weak head light voltage on a PT cruiser, just on one side. I temporary jumped a wire from one good headlight to the other. I will hopefully solve it this winter.
Mr Eric O in your opinion what suggested training can you recommend to get someone ready for ASE Certs particularly for electrical and engine performance p.s im already a scannerdanner premium member and a avid watcher pf your channel lol so besides that
Guys who work for a shop need to pay attention to how late the shop owner might stay open to finish the day's work. Being a small business owner is not all profit and spare time.
Looks like Ms. Marie has replaced Ms. Hannah while she's in college! Hope she trained Marie well, and if not...Well....Eric the master will teach her well!
He really is. I have 40 years and I T oh, and I've seen some really good technicians of the years. He's top notch. He doesn't have the background on a computer perspective how do you understand sir operation so damn well it's crazy. I was an operations guy for many years and I was probably the best operator the company had. The engineers from the manufacturer of the computer always felt better if I was in the building when there was a major upgrade. They were good guys and they were damn smart. This guy could be my match in a computer room for easily. And I'll take a great deal of Pride and what I used to be able to do in that computer room. I don't say that lightly
could it be low because of too big an air gap, and not generating enough signal voltage or some metal filings on the sensor tip dulling the signal also? was it clean when you pulled it or like a hedgehog....? what ! no part 2? after me saying to Ivan 'i hate these jobs split into multiple parts'.......its like watching a tv mini series ha ha .

The new scope looks like the DSO nano V3 designed by Minidso. Their pocket scopes are considered some of the best.
I believe it is Clive. I think that AES Wave puts their own firmware in it to make it more automotive friendly. I could be wrong though...
@@SouthMainAuto you are 100% correct sir
Love to see ya here bigclive, big fan :) You need to do some more videos taking apart self igniting batteries, that video is my favourite :)

The uscope is getting around. When your learning curve is completed that's going to be a handy tool.
"Wanna see a Frisbee??" I almost spit out my coffee (Tim`s)! We've all been there!
Cool scope! I get cranky when I'm tired too, thanks for bringing us along Eric!
You're spoiling us with SMA Saturday! NOT complaining! Thanks, Mr. O!
Gotta love that GM/Suzuki collaboration, my theta platform equinox was a total pain to work on.
Instead of doing the Hokey Pokey, I cut the wire and put in a bare connector with loose heat shrink. That way I can check circuit resistance first before crimping them together and after have a solid connection for my probes. It’s really easy to cut right through those thin strands or poke off to the side and get the wrong data.
I like my Suzuki, they're so lovingly uncomplicated.
Haven't seen one of your videos that I didn't learn something they are all great.
Frank el and you still can't have his Bud Light! :-)

Signal amplitude. Important! Thanks Dr. O!

""enhance enhance!"" I'm guaranteed to laugh and learn something from your vids! Keep up the excellent work Eric!
It's not an "Official" SMA video without the compressor firing off. :) Good troubleshooting technique.
Excellent mention of the amplitude of the waveform. I would run into correct, but low amplitude waveforms in a lot of electronics.
An XL-7! I would not have been surprised if Ivan made an appearance.
Oh btw, i now have to buy one since you and Keith have shown them off! 👍
UScope is cute and all but I want to see the PICO! :)
Nice one Eric, very perceptive of you to realize it was low output, initially it looked good, i would say the that the owner misread Crank for Cam, easily done they look similar...Fred in Uk.

No wonder I didn't remember the 1st part.... you just posted it today too. Lol. That scope is pretty easy to use and get the hang of. Not too bad to view and save on the PC too.
You don't have a borescope type camera? It just occurred to me it 'could've' been helpful here or no?
Yeah that's cool. Do you have one
@@jeremyanthony9300 yes, both Uscope & borescope cuz I'm not sure which one you're referring to.
Marie came in to the shop this morning... *empty-handed*. Does she not know to bring Krispy Kreme?
Lots of TAN wires! haha- Its the Tan car- Put a banana in the tail pipe! (Beverly hills cop)

Beauty. Not fooled by the pretty square wave here.
Our autel at the shop never works on the xl7 or most suzukis for that matter. Global obd2 is our go to for direction.
Never knew about those multi position fuses, interesting stuff:)

Great Job Like Always A+
Good luck and Thanks for the video.
I see another uscope. Eric what your early impression. Thinking of adding one to the tool box after seeing Keith and now you with one.

Your not the only one thats had issues getting codes from the xl-7. CAN doesnt play nice with a host of scanners. Launch and OTC ive had issues getting it to link period and or get in through the dealer side.
Looking forward to watching you dismember this car in order to reach the crankshaft position sensor.
Who lives in a pineapple under the hood, sponge bob square wave. I guess I'm tired as well...

Yeah, I used my old Snap on MT2500 on one of these by selecting gmc envoy or Acadia or on of those turds. Got all the info I needed.
Hi Eric,

The suzuki N36A engine is the same as the Cadillac LY7 engine. I wonder if you tried to pull data using GM as the OEM, if it would work?
You're a systems tech (computer) whose work is incidentally on cars.

Do you still have your Verus Eric?
Yes sir, have not touched in a year or so, why?
I was just curious...Is it for sale?If so, how much is it worth?
Is that young lady Marie Hannah's Nursing school classmate? Is she your new helper now?
I know this is an older video but I just got my autel to read an 07’ XL7 by calling it a Saturn Aura. I still don’t get live data for the abs though..
Did u find out what the problem was?
What procedure do you use for sealing the wires that have been punctured, if any? I've always used electronics grade clear RTV which is non-acidic.
I use liquid electrical tape
It turns on faster than a multimeter to me thats awesome... battery life Eric?
Not sure yet, I think the longest I have used it on is about 10 min. It boots so fast I usually just flick it off inbetween tests.
