Reading Camshaft and Crankshaft signals using an Oscilloscope!

In this video I walk you through the actual process of retrieving a waveform. It is obvious that you need to check the cam and crank sensor.. though it is not always so obvious WHERE you are going to pull those signals from when you are a flat rate mechanic! I try to give you the tips that help me get to the reading as quickly and efficiently as possible.
I mentioned the free wiring diagram resource, if you have any requests for particular information, leave a comment below!

Thanks for taking the time to share this information!!

[@TheCarDoctoreth]

you're welcome. I am going to be making more videos soon. is there anything specific you would like me to cover?

[@MontherAl-iesawy]

Best video ever

[@robbright1196]

What scanner would you recommend for someone with a diesel pickup that wants to do things like reset the nox sensor?

[@NguyenDuongVu]

Hi, I'm using Launch x431 creader elite v2.0 and it has CMP no pulse and CMP noise, I saw some intermitten no pulse at value 4-5 at CMP B. Is it possible to figure out if the CMP B sensor is bad with those? Thanks!

[@TheCarDoctoreth]

It's not possible unless you can swap the sensor with another. I don't believe what you have is an oscilloscope.

[@TheCarDoctoreth]

You may be able to swap with another cam sensor on the engine if they're similar

[@NguyenDuongVu]

@@TheCarDoctoreth that's what I'm thinking that I can do. It updates the value every second and that's it, no think like yours. So, CMP no pulse value can be part of the design?

[@TheCarDoctoreth]

@@NguyenDuongVu it's likely the cmp sensor is bad but make sure all of the connections are ok as well

[@NguyenDuongVu]

@TheCarDoctoreth I see. Got it. Thanks a lot. Not many have the knowledge to share these complicated stuff like you! Appreciate it!

[@TroyCarroll509]

Yeah, unfortunately, your website doesn’t work. Do you have an alternative site?

[@alessioravana8090]

I try the link but dosent open

[@garymiller1692]

Great video

[@ke6bnl]

would like a wiring diagram for my 2007 2.4L Chevy HHR

[@TheCarDoctoreth]

Hi I can help you just give me time to get my website back up

[@ErrorMargin]

Can you add the wiring for a 2007 Dodge Caliber?

[@francisifill7742]

Great video but unfortunately can't reach your website. Can you do anything about that?

[@TheCarDoctoreth]

Working on that today

[@lookywilliams5642]

your website does not work too,

thanks!!

been a wrench and shop owner 45 yrs. No disrespect but every video I watch about scope use never gets into basic adjustments of the scope itself, how to actually do it.😢 It's always assumed we already know how to make adjustments. I have a 2 channel snap-on scope . A lot of times I can't even get a pattern to show up. Usually I end up load testing the ckt. between sensor and pcm, if wiring checks out good, then I figure it's either the sensor or pcm, since sensors are usually pretty cheap I put a new one on. Most times that fixes problem. There I said what a lot of us end up doing. Back before scopes that's how we all did it. Guy's would probably use scopes more if trained properly. I've watched a ton of videos and have yet to find one that slows the roll and explains basic scope functions and adjustments! I am trainable, the US navy taught me how to operate nuclear reactor on submarine. If any body out there can teach me I'd be a willing student😅

[@lookywilliams5642]

I really back your comment, most posters dont teach the real thing, they all think we re pro and they start talking talking talking about

[@DuaneDonaldson]

No disrespect to you Brother and the 1st Reply, this is the first time I have seen this channel and I would not expect a technician channel, I have not looked around so just off the cuff here, but I would expect a DIY or low level mechanic channel to teach the basics and not a higher level Tech or Diag Channel. DAMN, I just looked closer at the channel and its dead, but I stick with my level of training based on the level of the channel, cheers.
Check out the Teacher ScannerDanner for some guidance when it come to learning at different levels. I dont follow DIY and I was a trained Electronics Tech on TVs and Stereos, etc right out of High School with the use of a scope in the early 80s.

[@TheCarDoctoreth]

I will make a new video very soon demonstrating how to setup and I can provide a guide for parameters for general sensors so you can actually get a waveform

[@prochorushanif7307]

too bad about your website. the gatekeeping on information is getting crazy

[@TheCarDoctoreth]

I am going to fix it. I didn't realize this video got views
