    Keyless entry receiver stopped working on Tahoe and my hair was beginning to fall out until I did what you said and it solved problem. Tahoe was going into sleep mode and stopped listening for remote signal. Thankyou, sooo much unfortunately, hair still falling out for other reasons.

    Thank you for posting! This saved me a trip to the dealer to clear a fault code. Best description of this process I’ve seen on here. I recently changed out the coil packs and plugs on my e92 335i. I tried to reset the “service engine soon” light using several scanners but none of them could clear it or even see the fault code (presumably because it is now fixed). This fixed my only remaining problem, no more “service engine soon” light now. Only thing I might add is when hooking things back up to hook the positive up first. I’ve heard these cars are sensitive to that and it might cause a lot of other issues if the negative is hooked up first.

    It worked well. The radio and while making a Bluetooth call, they both would shut off for a few seconds and then come back on over and over, and I would lose power steering sometimes too. The check engine light came on and that's when I had Auto Zone give me a diagnostic trouble code, and it was showing the power train system, and ABS. Sure enough though, and the attendant tried to sell me a power train system for $456.90, but she made the mistake of saying that the codes just needed to be reset and that when I found this, and two other videos telling me to do this. Thank you very much!

    I was involved in an electronics sector for 10yrs or so. And I learned that DC Grounds are in pivotal position in circuitry and I developed a habit that I always disconnect a positive side before a negative side so that there would be no floating voltages around components which might kill components on PC boards. Just words from my experience.

    You should always remove the NEGATIVE side first then the POSITIVE. Replace the POSITIVE side first then finally replace the NEGATIVE last.

    • @Beethoven2949
      @Beethoven2949 ปีที่แล้ว +17

      That's completely incorrect 😂, the negative side or black wire is essentially the same as earth/ground connection. ALWAYS when jump starting or connecting a battery put the negative wire on first, it acts as a ground wire and stops sparks flying everywhere.

    • @Beethoven2949
      @Beethoven2949 ปีที่แล้ว +11

    Yes, that's right. When I upgraded LED light bulbs it might mess up the ECU as my dass board light sometimes come on and off, also the ignition. By chance I disconnect the battery and leaves it for about 10 minutes then reconnect it. I replaced all the light bulbs back from original. Wow, everything working as it used to be. The only thing in the video, I'd like to mention that :
    When disconnecting the cables from the old battery, disconnect the negative first, then the positive. Connect the new battery in the reverse order, positive then negative. Many thanks for your video.

After 12 hours residual voltage had dropped to 0.00V. Then reconnected the battery. Started the car now purring nicely at idle.

    yes this works and remember -- if YOU have a remote starter, you will loose ability to use the remote starter if you live in a Northern climate and have one of these on your vehicle. The remote will need to be reprogramed to your car at the place you bought the darn remote starter. Mine cost me $25.00 to get this done. And it happened before when I had to replace battery a couple years ago... I guess, this is ONE fact the remote starter place does NOT tell you... so beware, when YOU disconnect battery for a few minutes as described in this video -- you will need to shell out another $25.00 to get the remote starter working again too... dang it...

    Great idea; however, seriously consider one crucial modification. Although I am not a general electrician, I did earn the certificate. That stated, connecting the positive and negative cables together drains downstream capacitors in the various circuits; however, it also short-circuits them as well, short-circuiting that can possibly damage delicate ECU circuit components. Therefore, I would recommend using a capacitor discharge tool like the one described in an IFIXIT article, “Constructing a Capacitor Discharge Tool,” by Andrew Bookholt. Years-ago, I created such a tool, adding alligator clips for convenience as well.
    Finally, for safety sake, when reconnecting the battery of a negatively-grounded vehicle, start and finish connecting the positive cable, ending by placing the battery terminal protection cover on the positive post. The last thing one wants to do is wrench-around the positive terminal while a battery cable is connected to the negative terminal. If one’s wrench should accidently come in contact with the frame, sparks will fly. For a negatively-grounded vehicle, that is why one always disconnects the negative cable first and then the positive and reconnects the positive cable first (completely) and then the negative. When jumping a negative-ground vehicle, connect the negative jumper cable to the frame, not the negative battery post, avoiding the consequences of a possible battery explosion. In any case, always wear adequate eye protection.

      The capacitor discharge tools isnt necessary. The capacitor would be discharging through the circuitry of the ECU which already has resisors in it. Remember, its because the capacitor are seeing an open circuit when the battery is removed that is why they hold the charge. They would eventually drain after a long time. Shorting the terminals speeds up the process. We use to do this for old computers as well, unplug it, remove the CMOS battery, short a certain jumper and voila, your pasword protection is gone 😂

      Disconnect Negative, press the horn at your steering to discharge if you want to, wait a minute then connect back the negative and start the engine, voila all the codes will clear. It's that simple, no positive to wrench, no jumper cables and don't need to waste precious time waiting. Just need a minute of your life of waiting.

    Interesting video! one little tip always when disconnecting the battery ,take off negative terminal first and when reconnecting the put on the negative terminal on last to avoid short circuits also removing the positive first can possably cause more of a spark and you do not want sparks near a gassing battery (hydrogen gas!) I'm looking forward to more vids cheers

    Well, it will work with many cars older than 2012 models. But, many of the late models, say from 2014 models . Also , if the malfunctions are not corrected , the codes and the malfunction lights are going to come back.

    You can use the other "positive cable" as well. Doesnt have to be the "Negative cable"
    So it doent matter which cable you are using as longs as its just the cable.

    • @jeffalbro4534
      @jeffalbro4534 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      The only reason to take the negative off first is so your wrech does not ark to ground. If your taking the Possitive off It might, could be a bad thing, if it welds it's self to ground. Some batterys (in good shape) can have 800+ amps. You can weld with that, or burn up your car too.

    Ok so I have a good one for you. 2017 Ford Feista SE, non-turbo 1.6. Great car but about a month ago my wife was driving and the brakes seemed to apply themselves eventually bringing the car to a stop, would move. You could put it in drive or reverse and it would act like it wanted to go but was like somebody was standing on the brakes. When I pulled the from calipers they were very hard to get off. I took a guess and figured the ABS module bit when I replaced it my scanner was not able to reprogram it so I cleaned up the old electrical portion from the old one and put it back on, now the brakes still go to the floor

    There’s a measurable potential between the positive and negative cables when disconnected from the battery. I use a very thin copper wire wrapped several 100s of times around a pencil to create a “resistor”. Then connect one end to positive and the other end to negative. The connected voltmeter then shows a decreasing voltage. When voltage goes to zero the ECU is reset without damage.

    • @ChucklesMcGurk
      @ChucklesMcGurk 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      wire wrapped around a pencil creates an inductor not a resistor.

    • @andrew_koala2974

      Just use a 12 volt Light bulb
      Buy a few and keep them in reserve - before they become extinct
      Do not use LED lights
      STOP wasting time playing games wrapping a wire around a pencil.
      Perhaps you wish to re-invent the wheel
      One could also use a a 10KΩ RESISTOR at least 2 Watts - 5 watts is more than enough
