Lisle 69300 Master Relay Test Jump Set: amzn.to/2MU2EWh For anyone wonder, the new ECM did resolve the issue with the fuel pump running continuous also 😉
I was an Auto/light Truck Technician for one product line for 35 years and never did master their product. It just amazes me how you can work on many product lines; repair them plus repair them in an efficient manner; then run a business and make very instructional videos. You sir are a very inspirable person! Being in this line of business for the years I was in, very few people can do what you are doing.
Just a master class. That is all I can say. If somebody has learned something from mr O, that guy is me. Thanks to mr O and his great way of teaching, I have become one of the most trusted technician around my area. I can't thank you enough. A Chilean born guy that is just kicking some butts.
I'm amazed how smart you are. So nice to see honest mechanics out there instead of part swappers who say "oh yeah, that was bad too". When it clearly wasn't.
These are my favorite videos/case studies. So much can be learned by working though the diagrams with your coaching. You explained it well, thanks again.
Took the words right outta my mouth Wyatt. He made something very difficult for most and made it easy to follow along. Maybe the shop that sent this to him should watch it for training purposes.
People watch your videos cause not only are you and mrs o the nicest people in the world! You have real talent Eric. I know guys that been wrenchin along time and don't have the understanding you do of these computer systems on cars! Love the videos and will put my money where my mouth is as soon as tax returns start flying!@ thank again!@
Eric you're a damn good mechanic. Im not a mechanic but thanks to you ive been able to fix and diagnose all of the issues i have with mine and my wifes cars. Thank you for your awesome videos and the hours of entertainment ive gotten from them!
You rock dr.O you don’t realize the the amount of knowledge that comes out in your videos that isn’t really part of the main diagnosis thank you very much for taking the time to bring me along
This isn't mechanics, this is engineering. The skills demonstrated are the same as analogue component fault finding, pretty near. Am familiar with that from way back, now out of practice, but watching skills that meet with memories of using logic, knowledge and understanding to get there quicker. My boss complimented me once for finding a noisy variable capacitor, I then demonstrated that by wobbling each of approx 20 caps in a small area (the vertical amplifier of an oscilloscope) and found the same fault in 10 seconds. I had been working on it for 2.5 hours ! He shrugged and said "experience" as he walked away, happy. Mate you have a kind understanding of fault finding, you share ! EVERYONE within 300 miles of you who own a car/truck is very lucky to have you. An example to the rest of the industry. HARD WORK ! The true way to experience :)
Your not kidding about all the dirt roads up your way. My brother and I stopped in Tuesday to meet you from Pittsburgh and on our way home our stupid GPS took us down a dirt road that turned into 3-4 inches of mud. It took us into what looking like the middle of someone’s farm. 🤣🤣 I turned around since I didn’t want to get the car stuck and went another way. I should have brought my Jeep! Haha hope you enjoyed the Dunkin Donuts. Nice to finally meet you!
What else is there to say but great approach which lead to the fix! Like I said before, the folks in that area are lucky to have your skills to call upon! Thanks for the video.
Back in the 70's, I had a mobile auto repair business in Kansas. I got a lot of jobs where the shops were up to their *** , and they would parcel out to me work that would be worth my time, but not theirs. Was a great relationship for me and them. I knew my limits at the time, and wouldn't take on something where I might embarrass them or myself. Took on a few 'challenges' and learned a whole lot. Your area is fortunate to have you there. Great job on the diagnostic videos!
Too many electronics. I remember when the only electronics you had in a vehicle was the voltage regulator built into an alternator if you didn't order the optional radio. I miss the old days. Enjoy the videos.
One day them arabs over there across the big ponds are gonna top 911 with a EMP. Then we wont have to worry about ECM an lots of other Electronics. Back to horse an buggy days. Lol lol lol
@@jkbrown5496 I remember that on my dad's old Ford 1954 f100. It had a 239 CID v8. He took 292 out of a 1960s Ford station wagon with a 4bbl card an put in that truck . When he went to sell it in 1984 he put the 239 back in it.
@@thomaswilson8634 Not true. A lab did a big test in 2004 where they exposed a bunch of different makers' cars to an EMP. The result? 100% of the cars cranked, started, and drove after being hit with a full-strength EMP. Most didn't even throw an ECM code.
@@ischmidt Well I was in the air force an that's what we were trained to anticipate. Was that lab ran by a bunch of monkeys. Lol. Explain why billions have been spent on subs an even air force one to make it emp proof. I dont believe that lab not one bit. Sorry.
Took a minute to understand how the tests showed the wires to/ from the ecm were good, but after a bit of thinking made perfect sense. Great video. Thanks bunches
Amazing trouble shooting process. Wonder how you learned to be so great at this. You always have such a great attitude too. I get more frustrated! Thanks for making these vids.
Hi Eric been watching your channel from just before xmas finding it very intresting also that door bell of yours is sending my dog mad its thinking its ours ? keep your good work coming,thanks
mr o i work by myself all the time and no help to call upon so ive solved the push it in problem by mounting a winch in the floor of my shop under a workbench i use a harbor freight 110volt but a 3000lb atv winch and a battery will work and a wireless controller is awesome as well . this allows me to put any vehicle in the shop all by myself and i dont have to strain and push , and i dont have to ask for help lol just thought id pass along the idea thanks for the great videos its a pleasure to watch an honest man doing a great job
I encountered the same problem on a 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee 2 days ago. i suspected the ASD then after a few tests I decided on the ECM. The car was in a parking lot w/ 100*F outside. I made the decision to call a tow truck and take it to a dealership. Half a day later the dealership found the ECM to be bad they are not as good at troubleshooting as you. Love your videos you are brilliant!
Always seems other shops can never solve the problem so they bring it to SMA.Eric always fines the problem and fixes it..What it comes down to is never take it to another shop or dealer, always take it to SMA they will get the job done right the first time..
So much i learn from your videos,great diag ,your willingness to disregard the previous shops mess and start from scratch is truly vital and you convey that. ......trusting your scan tool as far as you can throw it...LOLtoo funny!!!!
Hi Mr. O. I think you should change your slogan to: If you can ´t do it, I can do it. Of course this slogan is target to other shops. Another great work from a great person.
GREAT VIDEO , LOVE TO SEE THE TOOLS IN ACTION AND TO LEARN THE DIAGNOSTIC TECHNIQUES ALONG WITH THE THOUGHT PROCESS PLEASE KEEP THESE VIDEOS COMING ALL THE BEST AND RELY LOOKING FORWARD TO THE NEXT ONE THANKS SO MUCH !
Great video. Very thorough. It helps me out alot. Thank you for explaining everything as simple as possible. I'm able to work on my own vehicles and figure things out but, by no means a veteran mechanic. Thank you
Eric O' wow , you set the standard when honesty and ability is so rare. did not need the other shops fuel pump replacement , oh goodness, throwing parts at the wrong problem ... There should be laws to protect customers.I wonder what the customer had to say to the other shop ? Maybe that should be off camera ? ouch $$$ It happened to me . cutting off while driving , not the fuel pump , but the distributor. Skills and honesty matter. thanks , great fix it video :)
I’ve seen that 3 times on that exact make model and engine. I found that it was bad grounds causing that issue with the ecm and the ecm wasn’t even bad I swapped the bad ecm into another one and it worked. Another great video keep em going im glad im not the only one working on junk.
Never cease to amaze me Eric. Why can't I have someone within a 50 mile radios that can fix my no crank cts.? G.M. dealer couldn't, and gave up. Been starting it by jumping the starter relay.
I don't know what it is but I have watched a lot of TH-cam because that's what I like doing I like your channel because I just love it but yours the only one that blacks out and I have to go back and restart it again I don't know what that's all about but I'm just letting you know I don't know if anybody else is having a problem or not but keep up the good work God Bless America jeeps and BBQ
Interesting diagnosis and repair. I noticed you do a lot of diagnostic work probably explains your multiple scanners. I worked at big company owned shop and all we had is one OTC scanner per store plus we had Mitchell though sometimes the diagnostic tech had his own scan tool. Keep the videos coming they're all interesting and informative.
Dude, I just watched the thumbnail preview of this video and the close captioning said "Hello, and welcome to cell phone". I don't know why I thought that was hilarious! Must be the sore throat coming through. Oh, thanks for another great video, by the way! 😁
Usually the 02 sensors shorting out will either blow the ASD fuse or mess with the ecu. Make sure you check and see if there is a short in the 02 sensors. Iv been through this numerous times. I replaced the ecu in these vehicles just to have I happen again 1 month later because of the o2 sensor wires rubbing on metal or rubbing the drive shaft.
I love how youtube does the cc before you click on a video. Its diffrent every time. Instead of south main auto sometimes its "self made auto" or "cell phone auto" its always a surprise!
Good morning Mr. Eric O. Every time you say the vehicle you work on comes from another shop makes me laugh. The owners should just come to you in the first place. Lol. Have a great day and stay warm. Rob from Oklahoma!
My thoughts exactly. Eric O is definitely THE man! I've not heard or known of a vehicle he,Ivan,Keith,ETCG or scanner danner(Paul Danner) cannot fix. IMO these are the best in the USA or even the world period! These guys could fix the space shuttle IMO. Again great video Eric O,have a great day.
Unfortunately I am that other shop lol not literally the one in this video but I’m a cheap shop I have a place in life example I have a actrom scanner and no heat in my shop I get nuts and bolts work mainly yes I have diagnosed computers etc but it’s mainly guess work...when I can’t fix it it goes to the big boys like south main auto
The owner wouldn't know this was going to be complex issue. Possibly the fuel pump had burned out running all the time after the ECM failed and needed replacement. Avoca can't support a full time diagnostic tech, but neither does it need a couple dozen. But it apparently does keep a fair number of shops in business. So it looks like Eric and the other shops have a nice informal network set up going.
@@TheMechanicj you are not a bad shop. Not by any means. You are getting better with each one you put back on the road. You also are there to save those like me that thought i could fix it. Then just screwed it up even more. None of the commenters on here should make you feel under used. Since you are in business and staying that way you are doing what you do good. Eric didn't just bounce out of his mother with a scanner in one hand and a wrench in the other. Everything comes with time experience and study. So don't feel bad. Don't loose hope. Never stop learning. Those customers that you give to another shop. They will respect your honesty. They will come back to you for that. Its the shop that says they fixed it and it breaks as the customer drives away. Those are the wrong guys. Eric says it as well. If i can do it so can you. Don't forget that.
In a small town, you keep your friends by respecting their customers and helping them out when you can, and by not being greedy. Seems like that arrangement is working pretty well in the Avoca area.
I had that same issue as far as no crank no start no code on a 05 Canyon I chased it down to a ingition switch replaced it then it was crank no start found that the guy the customer bought it from cut the blue and white security wire, fixed the wire and boom! Unreal. Mitchell wire diag saved me. Great find on the ECM. Crazy how much these parts go bad nothing lasts anymore.
Hey Mr. O, what's wrong with these other shops putting their hands all over these vehicles and not being able to find the problems but they send them to you and you can find the problem and get it fixed? Simply amazing.
Man you're such a good mechanic and I'm getting ready to retire and I love cars and I would love to learn so much from you I found it in Upstate New York at me just to hang around go get parts sweep the shop just to learn
Thank you very much Eric. I would like to see the video where you did switching with EMC pin and other info. I think that I may have to change the EMC on mine. I know that I will be needing to deal with the VIN and whatever else I need to program the new EMC.
Lol all small shops are the same. Me and the guys at my shop always say the compressor is bluetoothed to the phones. It always comes on the moment we receive or make a call
I am truly impressed by your knowledge. Its way past my pay grade lol,, ill be watching your train of thought and find i don’t have enough bread crumbs to find my way home lol.. of course I’m not a mechanic , impressive none the less ..
Thats why I like my old trucks. Had a computer issue on my 89 F150. Pulled the computer. Opened her up. Noted two puffy capacitors. De soldered the two. Replaced with two new capacitors. Bingo!! Back in business for $5. My wife's Chrysler OMG!!! Cold spell put a battery charger on it when it would not start. Been chasing crap ever since. I really REALLY hate being defeated by a vehicle. Especially when the wife gives you that look. I think she thinks the money saved on auto repairs is hers to spend. " Thought you said you could fix it??" But at that point I gladly pay the going rate.
Great find Dr. O, if you don't mind sharing, and if you can; do these "shops" that bring you stuff they're unable to diag inform customers they brought it to you? Or, do they just bill the customer extra hours of labor to cover your costs and keep it their little secret?
At time 19:25 you make the final diagnosis of failed PCM (powertrain control module). However did you check the TRS (transmission range sensor) sense switch T41 and make sure it was signaling the PCM properly? That sense switch T41 must be closed or the PCM will NOT ground the starter relay and allow the starter to operate. Otherwise great video with detailed analysis and diagnosis.
Great troubleshooting. I live for the day I can hear the compressor running, the heater going, the doorbell dinging and the phone ringing all at the same time.
I want a hoodie from SMA. “There’s that damn compressor AGAIN!!” With the SMA logos, natch. 😂😂 That compressor out-foxes you every time. Love the video!! A Chrysler ECM failing? UNHEARD OF!! Jeez, Eric.
Nice diag Eric! But a pcm failing on a Chrysler product? Virtually unheard of! LOLThey should really include one in the glove box when you buy these vehicles new.
I have spare PCM already programmed, stored under the back seat of my dodge dakota. My mechanic said the PCM was bad, I got one, he installed it...same prob... so....after a few hundred $$ later, other mechanic found the broken wire from the PCM to the ASDL relay..vroom! Now I have a spare PCM and my pocket is a few hundred dollars lighter ...first pcm was good...
Hey I've worked on that same jeep before. Actually maybe worked isn't the correct term but help manufacture it. I put the special coating where the door sealed are.
We have a 2005 jeep grand cherokee, with what I think is a bad ground strap issue. Before this, hell I didnt even know what a ground strap was. Watching your vids has helped me figure stuff out as to why, but getting it done is still proving to be a problem, ant advice you can give me on this would be a great help, Thank you and looking foward to a response soon, sincerly, Frustrated in South Dakota
Dear Eric, I enjoy all of your videos but the 'nuts and bolts' ones are my favorite. However I do appreciate and am impressed by your skills with all the diag equipment and wiring diagrams. Your explanations as you work are mostly comprehensible even for someone like me who will never have that equipment or those skills to apply to a DIY job. God Bless and when you are ready to move South (North Carolina is a beautiful State) please let me know. You would love working on my 6 yr old, very clean and rust/salt free Honda Accord Ex. And I would love having you work on it. Jim

For anyone wonder, the new ECM did resolve the issue with the fuel pump running continuous also 😉
What relationship to the constant fuel pump command to the no command on ground side switched SDR circuit ?
Internal PCM short possibly ?
Wooo Hooo!!!!
Open the ECM and put them super sweet soldering skills to work. 😳

I had that same issue as far as no crank no start no code on a 05 Canyon I chased it down to a ingition switch replaced it then it was crank no start found that the guy the customer bought it from cut the blue and white security wire, fixed the wire and boom! Unreal. Mitchell wire diag saved me. Great find on the ECM. Crazy how much these parts go bad nothing lasts anymore.
Hey Mr. O, what's wrong with these other shops putting their hands all over these vehicles and not being able to find the problems but they send them to you and you can find the problem and get it fixed? Simply amazing.
I have had a TON of that style Chrysler ECM's being bad. I have tried the repaired/reman ones and they are usually junk as well.
Thanks for coming in today Fella
Your the best TH-cam mechanic, great result with a great actitud im learning from u
Thanks so much for not letting us hanging....awesome as always...!!!!😀😀
Ahhhhh, I jumped in to quick. Lucky the wrecking yard PCM worked! Great Job!
Man you're such a good mechanic and I'm getting ready to retire and I love cars and I would love to learn so much from you I found it in Upstate New York at me just to hang around go get parts sweep the shop just to learn
Thank you very much Eric. I would like to see the video where you did switching with EMC pin and other info. I think that I may have to change the EMC on mine. I know that I will be needing to deal with the VIN and whatever else I need to program the new EMC.
Never forget to pull out your donger. That's what I like about this channel. So educational.
You need a shirt/hoodie that says “There’s that DAMN compressor again!”
Great minds think alike! Should've read further down the comments before posting mine.
I think he should just convert it to run 24/7 and just waste the air. lol
Lol all small shops are the same. Me and the guys at my shop always say the compressor is bluetoothed to the phones. It always comes on the moment we receive or make a call
All that for a faulty ECM. Real nice Chrysler. Nice work Eric O!
Awesome diagnosis eric, I love these videos. I like a good challenge, keeps you sharp and on your toes.
Thxs Eric,never boring always the 'BEST'....
ever time your door bell rings i keep thinking it is some one at my door as i have the same chime :-)
Nice quick diagnostics, on to part 2.
Great Video , always walk away with something new !!!
I am truly impressed by your knowledge. Its way past my pay grade lol,, ill be watching your train of thought and find i don’t have enough bread crumbs to find my way home lol.. of course I’m not a mechanic , impressive none the less ..
Nice video…. I ran into a similar issue with the kids 97 grand Cherokee ended up replacing the PCM ...runs good once again.
Whewww--- I was worried about your fav. hat. Glad its back
Its always a pleasure watching your videos mr. O and family Keep em coming
Thats why I like my old trucks. Had a computer issue on my 89 F150. Pulled the computer. Opened her up. Noted two puffy capacitors.
De soldered the two. Replaced with two new capacitors.
Bingo!! Back in business for $5.
My wife's Chrysler OMG!!! Cold spell put a battery charger on it when it would not start. Been chasing crap ever since.
I really REALLY hate being defeated by a vehicle. Especially when the wife gives you that look.
I think she thinks the money saved on auto repairs is hers to spend.
" Thought you said you could fix it??"
But at that point I gladly pay the going rate.
I like that scanner,and is fast too,i know you moving fast and the scanner is perfect for you
Great find Dr. O, if you don't mind sharing, and if you can; do these "shops" that bring you stuff they're unable to diag inform customers they brought it to you? Or, do they just bill the customer extra hours of labor to cover your costs and keep it their little secret?
At time 19:25 you make the final diagnosis of failed PCM (powertrain control module). However did you check the TRS (transmission range sensor) sense switch T41 and make sure it was signaling the PCM properly? That sense switch T41 must be closed or the PCM will NOT ground the starter relay and allow the starter to operate. Otherwise great video with detailed analysis and diagnosis.
Great troubleshooting.
I live for the day I can hear the compressor running, the heater going, the doorbell dinging and the phone ringing all at the same time.
I want a hoodie from SMA. “There’s that damn compressor AGAIN!!” With the SMA logos, natch. 😂😂 That compressor out-foxes you every time. Love the video!! A Chrysler ECM failing? UNHEARD OF!! Jeez, Eric.
Nice diag Eric! But a pcm failing on a Chrysler product? Virtually unheard of! LOLThey should really include one in the glove box when you buy these vehicles new.
I have spare PCM already programmed, stored under the back seat of my dodge dakota. My mechanic said the PCM was bad, I got one, he installed it...same prob... so....after a few hundred $$ later, other mechanic found the broken wire from the PCM to the ASDL relay..vroom! Now I have a spare PCM and my pocket is a few hundred dollars lighter ...first pcm was good...
Glad that Chrysler does not make jet plane parts....
The newer ones should include a spare TIPM as well LOL.
@@alanmatthews5949 But they do make aviation and aerospace products !!! :O(
@@alanmatthews5949 where the ECMs are $100,000 instead of $1000?
LOL "There's that damn compressor again!" I love that compressor! It means I'm watching a SMA Video!!!! :D
I like your style Eric, hopefully ECM will cure it, looks like you have plenty of work anyway..Fred in England.
Hey I've worked on that same jeep before. Actually maybe worked isn't the correct term but help manufacture it. I put the special coating where the door sealed are.
Love your channel, would love to see some videos on the ford's power shift transmission.
Fan from the UK.
We have a 2005 jeep grand cherokee, with what I think is a bad ground strap issue. Before this, hell I didnt even know what a ground strap was. Watching your vids has helped me figure stuff out as to why, but getting it done is still proving to be a problem, ant advice you can give me on this would be a great help, Thank you and looking foward to a response soon, sincerly, Frustrated in South Dakota
You are really good at what you do.
Eric O., in the know! Another good video show!
Dear Eric, I enjoy all of your videos but the 'nuts and bolts' ones are my favorite. However I do appreciate and am impressed by your skills with all the diag equipment and wiring diagrams. Your explanations as you work are mostly comprehensible even for someone like me who will never have that equipment or those skills to apply to a DIY job. God Bless and when you are ready to move South (North Carolina is a beautiful State) please let me know. You would love working on my 6 yr old, very clean and rust/salt free Honda Accord Ex. And I would love having you work on it. Jim
I'm taking it to a garage now with this video !
Another great diagnosis.
