folks see that book on the shelf in the end of the video i'm l1 master car and truck that book is the best money i have ever spend better than a 1/4 inch air racket
thank you juan!
I second that! Well worth the money, as well as the premium channel. I have no schooling, have been on the job for 5yrs, was okay at diagnostics before purchasing the book and subscribing to scannerdanner premium, but within the last few months my knowledge has grown tremendously and I now have ase certified techs asking me electrical/troubleshooting questions pretty much regularly. Not saying I know everything or that I'm the best or anything like that, just trying to give a testimonial that these things are well worth investing into and will help you perfect your craft.
Thank you William Tanner!
William tanner, you just explained my situation in terms of where im at with my career. I left a diagnostic shop to go to a lazy front end/tire chain store, worst mistake ive done. Im in the middle of making the transition to diagnostics, ive been watching Danners videos for ONE day. I swear i have made more of a connection with electric theory now more than my past 5 years as a tech. Im getting that fkn book. Just, wow. Thanks scanner danner.
Paul is the best I have seen in my 51 years at teaching and diagnostic procedures .
Great teachers like you make school and learning less stressful.
I would just like to thank you for sharing your knowledge with everyone! When I started my 2 year automotive program, I quite my job and opened a mobile mechanic business to help me get through school. I have used your knowledge along with my teachers at Wenatchee valley college to build my business from the ground up. I started with a rusty old truck and a few tools.I now have a small shop and a fully functional mobile service van. You have made my dream of owning an automotive repair business possible. Seriously thank you!
This is awesome! Would you mind posting this to the feedback page of my website?
www.scannerdanner.com/leave-read-feedback-new.html
Absolutely, I try to do that now!
Scotty kilmer didn't even go in depth as much as you did. Im a new subscriber keep it up. I love it!
You still so young
Here in Sweden if you reach to 75 year's you still young.
God bless you and your family .
Best regards
I am from Middle East ( Jordan ) , I bought your e-book 2 years ago , it helped me a lot in my small business , I watch your videos every day , lot of valuable information . YOU ARE MY BEST TEACHER , THANKS MR PAUL
That's awesome Bilal! God bless you man
Thanks for your patience and for staying with me my friends. While I am teaching I cannot produce the same amount of content. I could if I wasn't so picky on how I film and edit things now :-). Watching my early videos is painful. The content has always been good, but the camera work and editing has not. Anyway, this current class runs until the end of May, look for more consistent uploads for June and July. Also, don't forget about ScannerDanner Premium on my website! There are currently around 350 videos with 200 of them recorded lectures from my class at Rosedale tech. The other 150 videos are exclusive case studies with the month of April getting 3 new uploads:
1. "2008 Ford F150 4.2L Waste Spark Ignition, No Spark From One Coil"
2. "2011 Hyundai Sonata 2.4L No Crank Troubleshooting (multiple CAN system faults)"
3. "Honda Power Window Circuit Operation and Testing (multiplex control units and switches)"
Last thing, behind the scenes my web developer and I are constantly working to improve the website and in particular ScannerDanner Premium. You guys have been asking for a dated video list like TH-cam uses, and we are working on this as we speak. I've had over 50 new uploads since moving ScannerDanner Premium to the website and some of you are having difficulty locating them once I put them into a playlist. So this new dated list is going to help with this a lot. Thanks again to all of you for helping me make this possible!
Love it all. Thank you so much. We will wait as long as it takes for new uploads....and maybe even a new book of sorts?
Working on that too!
A New book....? OMG, I just giggled like a school girl. It could have pop ups and/or you have to read it with 3D glasses.
Haha yes!
ScannerDanner. Have a few questions
I've been getting many f150 trucks in for no crank no start no comm. Your method of testing for 5 volt reference is priceless. The owner has a few locksmiths and small shops check it out. After consulting with them not 1 person said they checked powers and grounds or for a 5 volt reference. Everyone said it's the pcm. The pcm is talking to several sensors so I ruled that out. Ruled out fuses and relays and ended up finding bad grounds. Many years ago I asked you about a 98 Chevy express van fuel issue and you steered me to the problem. I wish all my friends would stop calling me to beat my brain up with questions but somehow I always fix everything I touch. I'm a collision repair shop but hey money is money there days. It got to where I have to keep my doors locked and my phone off. Lol. I can't thank you enough Paul.
what an awesome comment, thank you for sharing this with me and good for you man. You made that all happen.
Hey Scanner your production quality has gone right up. Love the overlays that really helps.
Man I get emotional watching your videos, you’ve given me a new drive in life learning about diagnostics. I’ll certainly be getting the Book and learning more about how the premium classes work. Your work is not in vain Sir, thank you!!
There's only one way to describe you. When you're fixing a car, the issue looks like a scared kitten stuck in the corner, cause it knows there's no scape for it, YOU WILL find it. My admiration to you. I wish I could be your student. God bless you.
Paul it’s a great feeling seeing how humble you are and how you share your knowledge thank you for that and may God bless you and your family . Also you were really funny at the end keep on smiling and handing them out as well
I used your test light technique to troubleshoot a brand new harness in my car's audio system. The test light is a great asset in finding problems besides protecting the circuit. Thanks Paul- you are inspiring!!!
Watched this 2 months ago and kinda got what you were doing. I Bought your book and now working through the sd premium videos at the moment. Just watched this video again today and wow! Reading the book has made this so simple to understand circuit design in this video. Well done on your efforts!
Great video. Very informational, I learn alot when I watch you. I am very mechanically inclined, but when it comes to electrical diagnostics im lost. Watching you helps me at work tremendously. Thanx so much for the videos.
Its always a pleasure watching you in action Danner
You are great at what you do. I wish I had your knowledge and experience about diagnosing engine problems. Keep up the good work.
Thank you brother for what you do. Love watching all your videos. You are an intelligent man. And I'm sure your students would agree.
Excellent! One of your best videos yet on this subject. Thanks Dr. Danner!
Never gets old, Thanks Paul.
Great Video! Love the setup. This one is a goldmine for some good foundational information.
I’m Auto mechanic student, graduating this year. However, never electric and engine performance Diagnostics been easier than your videos. I’ve been watching your videos about a month and now, I use your methods at my job. Thanks
I’m glad you post this. I pretty sure I am going to watch this again.
Been looking forward to another new episode!
Great video. Never thought about importance of using a test light. I usually use a dmm for stuff like that. So hard to fry ecm with one. But as many times as I have forgot to switch the confounded test lead back to volt side of multimeter. I could see myself forgetting if it were a jumper wire I was using instead of a test light. Between you and Eric O. My diagnostic skills have increased tremendously. Thank you.
Always makes me smile when they fire up. Thanks for posting bro
Great video man I can’t thank you enough. After putting a transmission in a 05 mazda 3 I picked up for 200.00 I had one flawless day with it and then this happened. For a few days now I’ve been battling with it. Knowing nothing about relays and ground switched circuits I had no idea what it was going to take or if it was even possible to get this car going again. I was able to learn a lot from your video and in a few shorts I had the car running again. Thank you again!
You are awesome Mr. Danner.
I can’t stop watching your videos .
God Bless You!
Very nice video. Although I don't repair vehicles, other than my own, I really enjoy the knowledge I get from your videos. Keep up the excellent work!
I can honestly say that I have watched many of your videos and you most certainly end up in the fuse box a majority of the time.
The 5 volt ref from the maf sensor harness is pretty cool to rule out the computer.
What a great way to spend the evening with Scanner Danner, thanks Paul.
Thank you Mike!
your effort is highly appreciated since many of learners seeking better guidance as what you given for us.That is considered as great empathy ....keep going we the best followers...

Amigo de FD Automotriz?
Nailed it, I think I'll order your book, I've seen enough of your videos to know whats in it, but it seems a cracking refrence book to have
Best teacher I’ve ever seen.
I got the book. The best ever. I have learned a lot and applied those principles on the field with great success. Thank you master.
Thank you so much!
Love your editing! The picture in picture and the commentary flows beautifully together. Then to find that issue with the steps you display was a lot of fun. Plus the wire was easy to get to, nice.
Thanks Wyatt!
@@ScannerDanner Sir, my car SDVC function doesn't work in my i20 2011 1.2. all the other functions volume, etc. are working ok. Please show video how to check the SDVC signal wire damaged or shorted. Thanks in advance.
Loved it when you found the open circuit, My mind was going check the Wire it self at Both Ends to see if possible either faulty terminal at computer or then at Fuse Box. Loved the Fine Paul. you are such a great teacher in fault Diagnosis and repair. Wish i lived a little closer would certainly attend a few of your Classes, can never stop learning Cheers from Australia
Thank you Paul. You mean so much to all of us technicians. Bless you brother. You're doing a Godly work by sharing your talents and light to the world. Love you brother.
Thanks Billy!
Great video Paul - “unless you’re looking for smoke” I nearly had an accident when you came out with that 😂
Don’t be worried about the amount of videos you’re uploading, there’s a lifetime worth of content already. People that see the value in what you share realise what it’s worth 👍 Steve.
Very Good Info, Very Nicely Explanation About The 5volt ref..
I bought you book it makes diagnostic work so easy thank you prof.
Well executed! Thanks for making great videos ScannerDanner. You are the man!
So simple when you know the basics. Thank you i love to learn this stuff.
Perfect video dude. Thank you. I have it on my bucket list to visit your class room

sweet.another awesome video man.keep feeding us with more awesome videos. God bless you more
You just helped me diagnose a car that I haven't been able to crank in 4 years!! Thank you sir.
Let me guess? Mazda? Lol
excellent video Mr Paul
Yinzer for Sure! Nice Pens shirt. Thank you my man! Very articulate in your explanation and endeavor. Totally going to apply to Mazda 5. Same issue.
Finding the problem for a no start is always a fun challenge. Another great SD vid!
*welcome back paul I have been waiting for along time*
Good stuff there Paul, great basic checks there
Thanks for the great video, your channel has some of the best information on auto repair out there. Please do more test light videos, they're really helpful for people that can't afford the high end scan tools.
Love my test light. Will do brother. Thanks!
I'am a premium member Paul and I recommend your website to everyone. I'am a journeyman heavy truck tech and the material you teach is very adaptable to my trade. All the same concepts, and most computers are very accessible on heavy trucks, so don't have some of the issues with cars. Keep up the good work. Thanks.
Thank you Darren!
old video but currently watching this today to diag my ms3, this video was very informative and bridged some gaps i was having trouble with on my car. you are a great teacher i wish i could have had the opportunity to learn from you in person
Thank you nick!
From Somaliland I like your lessons and download it everyday.
Nicely done...electrical tracing is a nightmare for most ppl..and costly... hence auction lol ..ur reaching ppl years later and helping.. very cool
First Id like to thank you for making this video,

Hi paul. Man great learning videos.you know anyone can do the mechanical side of an Automobile. But today with these high tech automobiles those techniciands that can master using scanners electrical schematics and learning how to read them CORRECTLY... thats where the $$$$ is.In the 80"s 1985/ 86. I was working for Audi. Lucas Lighting did the electrical harnesses for Audi. Paul talking about a devastating migraine. Continue the great videos dan. God has given you great knowledge as well as field experience. Am an ASE Masterr Tech. For 40 years. Had to stop working 8 yrs ago du to dissability. Sold all my tools and scanners.you keep that dream still alive in your videos and i appreciate you greatly. There are alot of honest technicians out there that are very knowlevdgaeable but theres also alot of parts changers that will still your money charging you hours of diagnosis because they dont know what they are doing. Am lucky i have my bestest loyal frind that helps me in my car issues. I really dont trust some techs in this industry. Thank you so much paul. May god bless you, your family, your students.👍👍👍
Thank you for sharing your videos about automotive repair.god bless you.

EXCELLENT EXCELLENT video Mr Paul.... thank you!! I binge watch all of your videos... and your book is the bees knees... the troubleshooters Bible.
Best YT video i've seen in a long time. Brilliant, a true mater at work.
Thanks so much!
Corroded fuse box imagine that. When I fix cars speed and accuracy matter I can't say for sure but I think I would have gone straight for the power circuit and if I find corrosion in the fuse box, well there you go. I do understand you are a teacher and you are teaching the fundamentals. Great job! Thanks for sharing.
Wow that was really slick!! Liked those little pins with the balls on the end. 5volt ref and incandescent test light.
Man i love your channel!Another awesome video and job,and the "mood" in your videos is just perfect!Greetings from Norway , Stefan :)
Very high quality education. Highly recommended to any new mechanics.

Awesome! I actually understood what the problem was, and why the solution was the answer. Unfortunately, my problem is different. But to be educated is always appreciated.
Thank you.
This video just popped up & I had to watch it again, but you really can see your teaching skills shine through on your thought process & in the way you explain system layout. I always learn something every time I watch. I suppose Paul I owe you a lot for me being the tech I am today 🙏🙏👍
Such a great compliment. Thank you so much. Made my morning
@@ScannerDanner you deserve it 🙏🙏👍
Eres el best teacher que conosco amigo
Thanks a lot for the whole 20 minutes.
For the 1st time I've managed to listen very clearly and learned something amazing from you.
Bless.
Glad it was helpful!
@@ScannerDanner yes sir thank you.
You make it look simple the sign of a top class teck
This is diagnostic gravy for those of us SD Premium subscribers! Wish I could get a car in my shop with such an easy one. Love it!
Another great video Paul thanks
Great explanation on how to check this problem! I will be following it step by step tomorrow, on the job, at a Mazda dealer, while I try to diagnose a 2010 Mazda 3 auction car that came in with no communication with pcm and a no crank condition. This video will save me hours. Thank you.
Hey Ken. What did it end up being? a fraued wire / corroded terminal in the harness? Did you have security light issues? Crank but no start?
I have a 2010 Mazda CX7 and the security light blinks even while car is unlocked. I troubleshot the immobilizer and key and they’re compatible. (It cranks. No crank if immobilizer is unplugged or moved away from key. But when returned it cranks.) The owner is my friend and is desperate. I spent all day on it reprogramming keys. Changing spark plugs back after another tech changed em. Checking fuses etc. I’m at a loss.
Great video, great lesson! Thanks!
Awesome Paul. I watched to the end and wrote 5 pages down everything you pointed into my notebook. I'm going to get a copy of your book. Cheers)
Thank you so much for making this video. The very same identical thing happened to my 2010 Mazda 3,and had the guy at shop that chases electrical gremlins not been on vacation,it would gave been there Friday. Sunday I ran across your video,and it's now happily running thanks to you.I know they'd have charged me a minimum of $500,again "Thank You"

I always appreciate and enjoy 😅 these videos . It has saved me a lot of money ..i use to work at a power plant ..My friend use to say well i think that motor lost its smoke lol..yea no doubt .

That's awesome man! Thanks for sharing!
I needed this so much...my 03 ford expedition sat for months many mechanics told me all kinds of things but I knew they were wrong and piece by piece I found my problem but couldn't solve it and here was the answer 😂😂😂😂...thanks
Once again basic but very useful
Always learning with you Danner!!..
