You, my friend, are the type of mechanic that gives us all hope that honesty and knowledge of your craft still exists! Thank you for sharing this video.
I'm a retired technician. I've worked for dealerships and independents. I never hear mention of the service writer/manger miscommunication causing some of these customer problems. Usually service writers know little or nothing about cars. They are glorified salesmen! I've watched service writers call customers after I've given them a diagnosis, and tell the customer a completely different story! Be aware, not all comeback problems originate with the technician. 🚗
Hey Ed, could not agree with you more! So much can get lost in a lack of communication. Unfortunately it's not my shop, not my car, so I wasn't involved. I went off of the facts I had, previous invoices and a broken car. And of course the customers side of the story. But you're right. The shop or tech may not be at fault here.
Mike Becker, Senior Instructor
I just had a conversation about that with one of the service advisors. I overheard him saying he's not going to tell her (or lie to her) about the original diagnosis (an expensive fix) because he wanted to get more money out of her on a bunch of the smaller repairs she wanted done first. Cuz she doesn't have the money to cover the large repair and the small repairs. He figured if he told her about the large repair she wouldn't get any of the work done. He was literally going to drain her money to have her fix a bunch of petty shit and let the car have catastrophic failure a week or month later (or however long it lasts). I butted in and told him NO, ABSOLUTELY NOT. Chewed his ass for being shady.
AGREED!!! So true!👍
Anon Ymous Used to see that all the time at my previous job. It was mainly one guy doing it and nobody could touch him. Management loved him, he was top 5 salesman in the country.
I work for hyundai and i see the same stuff you all said. They they sell a 30 or 60 service and then i present them with something else the customer needs and should be priority and they blow it off and make it as if the customer declined the work.
The last shop was a remove & replace shop. Yours is a true diagnostic shop.👍👍👍👍👍
Hahah yeh, I guess so Waleye Fish. Thanks for watching!
Mike Becker, Senior Instructor
This is how a professional mechanic works compared to the regular mechanics. That's why they charge more but actually get the job done. Great job!!!
This dude rocks!
Ive hardly ever seen someone with as much knowledge and professionalism as this guy has. Two thumbs up man. Keep the videos coming. U are a shining example for everyone who has to work on cars.
This is by far THE BEST EVAP TEST I have seen. Very complete and detailed. Covered every typical problem with no fluff. Great Job.
Wow thanks so much Derrick!
Mike Becker, Senior Instructor
@@GoTechTraining I have a 2001 Ford E250. No code no check engine light, but will not pass the ready test. New gas cap, New hoses, valve seem to test ok. Any ideas?
I a not a certified mechanic... I try to use common sense when I work on my cars. As soon as you started the smoke test I was like "Make sure you test the part you bypassed!!!" Sure enough, you went back and tested it. YOU are a smart mechanic and use common sense. Customers would be wise to listen to your opinions and suggestions. Good job sir.
Hey Evilthx, thanks for watching! It's amazing the things you can do by just applying some common sense 😉
Mike Becker, Senior Instructor
If it were COMMON sense, most everybody would know what to do. It is indeed Uncommon sense that separates us
@@frnkjones40Im 16 trying to fix p0455 I bought a fog machine and cut a oil cone cup to attach it to and made my smoke machine. Replaced the cover centrifuge, purge valve, intake manifold, oil drip pan, cam plugs, re hosed vacume lines that were cracked, you are lazy and don’t want to see your car run, i will make my car run and refuse to pay someone to do something I can, anything Is possible be patient and research
Cant cross your fingers lol. Find your leak and show u can do it all, people won’t do work on my 2008 c300 and overcharge me because they think I have money. Poverty will drive any man to do anything. U got this
@@davidmendoza5522 Lazy??? Kid you don't know me and you don't understand English well enough to respond properly to what I said.There was a compliment in there and you missed it. Lazy people don't pull their engines and rebuild them by themselves from a bare block and reinstall. Lazy people don't drop and replace their transmission at midnight in the freezing cold by themselves because they need that car for work 6 hours later. They
Holy cow batman, this customer was about to be in deep!!! Even deeper then they already are!!!Great job Mike!!!
Hey Mister Handy, for sure! I feel like we saved this one, pulled him from drowning in the deep end of the parts pool. haha!
Mike Becker, Senior Instructor
Great troubleshooting by taking the time to know how the EVAP system works and systematiclly isolating the problem to a physical crack and faulty component. This is what separates you from the rest. Nice job conveying the story.
You apparently haven't seen Eric O. videos or Rainman Rays?
I can’t believe how many shops get this wrong! They should definitely watch your video series on EVAP,that way they will learn how easy it is when you know what you’re doing! 👍
Hey Nick, thanks for watching! There's so much misunderstanding around it...I think it scares some shops.
Mike Becker, Senior Instructor
Just subbed ... always refreshing to see a guy who not only is thorough and checks service manual/tips ... but also has good critical thinking skills .... evap systems are a pain ... and there is certainly simpler ways of achieving better rebreath of vapors ... but they don't call it the "Money Light" for nothing ...
Welcome to the channel :)
Mike Becker, Senior Instructor
I bet drinking a couple of tall stouts after that repair was well deserved and relaxing. I thought I was watching a magic show with all that stuff you were popping out from behind the cart. Ta-da! Car fixed.
Hey Glen, hahah yeh for sure! Cold and refreshing! I need to get one of those hats, I can pull parts out of it!
Mike Becker, Senior Instructor
I disagree, it seems that allot of problems start with the service writer or the boss and last we also have lazy mechanics that only worry about making that check. I don't know, maybe these guys spend to much time on the S-O Truck LOL
MIKE, Thanks for taking the time to upload all of ur videos that is full of great information really appreciated.cheeeeeers
Hey J Georges, and thank you for taking the time to watch all of them!!!! :)
Mike Becker, Senior Instructor
You made a believer out of me with one video. I do my own repairs as often as I can thanks to guys like you that teach me how. The best part of the video was knowing that you had the customer in mind. Too often people who do repairs (on all kinds of things, not just vehicles) have only their profit in mind.
I saw the rust on the fuel pump towards the beginning of the video and I knew we was in for sum trouble!
Hey J. M., thanks for watching!
Mike Becker, Senior Instructor
Just want to say thank you for how thorough this video is. It helped me solve an evap code on a complete different vehicle. The hose connected to the bottom of the purge control valve had a sizable tear, not visable from the top of the engine bay. Followed your method of methodical visual inspection and immediately found the cause before throwing money at replacement sensors and parts!
I really love your videos I watch all your videos and South Main Auto's videos..I learn more from your videos than I ever have in a classroom setting.
Hey Barnes Christopher, thank you so much! I really appreciate it. I'm sure Eric does too :)
Mike Becker, Senior Instructor
Excellent video as usual my friend. Great way of breaking down the process. Highly recommend your EVAP videos to the younger techs coming into the shop who want to expand their knowledge and truly grasp how the system works.
Hey Steve, thank you so much! I really appreciate it 😀
Mike Becker, Senior Instructor
Thank you Michael. Good job again. Have a blessed and safe week to you and your family.
Hey Billy, thanks! Same to you and yours.
Mike Becker, Senior Instructor
Incredibly detailed troubleshooting. It’s very educational and great for beginners to advanced technicians. I have a small leak on my 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee and I purchased a decent smoke machine with the adaptor for the service port. I’m yet to diagnose the problem but this video will help me go further on my investigation. Thank you for sharing your skills troubleshooting the EVAP system
I really enjoyed your troubleshooting techniques and the way you broke down the system you are trying to diagnose. I'll be sharing with the guys at work, we build a system that treats cancer and the approach you took in your video are exactly what I was taught when I first started.
Hey Omar, thanks for watching! The process I use is basically universal to any form of troubleshooting.
Mike Becker, Senior Instructor
That 5 volt at the sensor wire when unplugged is the bias voltage the ecu uses to sense if there is a break in the wire or sensor. There is a relatively large resistor between the signal circuit and a 5 volt supply inside the ecu. There is normally a small current running through the signal wire when things are in order, and with current comes voltage drop. The voltage drop over the biasresistor makes the bias voltage magicaly "disapear" before the eyes of the "signal voltage reader" and it only sees the voltage from the sensor itself.
So the 5v on the signal wire isnt changing with pressure. Its voltage being dropped inside the sensor between the 5v ref and ground that is "fed" up the signal wire that the ECU senses.
So. If the ECU sees 5 volt at the signal wire it knows its either because there is a break in the circuit so that there is no current flowing, Or the sensor is broken (it never gives 5 volts out when its OK. Neither does it emit 0 volts. Its probably more in the range of 0.5 to 4.5v or there about)
Hey Steve, thanks for watching! Great explanation on how the circuit works. Thanks for sharing!
Mike Becker, Senior Instructor
Yes exactly!!
im giving you more than one thumbs up ,one for the purge solenoid ,fuel pressure, sensor, one for the cracked fuel pump,one for the tip about the rust causing pressure ,one more for mention the abs sensors affected by rust...I will like to subscribe again if I could ...I remember one of your videos showing how evap works...thats a big key how to diagnose this type of problems...thank you Mike...from phx az
Hey M Lez, thanks for watching! If only it worked that way, i'd take all the thumbs up you're willing to give.
Mike Becker, Senior Instructor
You are awesome dude. Some mechanics are about the money and do anything but you took the time out and found the issues. Love your honesty and if that was my car you would have been paid your price and tip. Great video👍👍👍
Wow thank you soooo much! I appreciate it!
Mike Becker, Senior Instructor
Rust jacking , technical term is "Oxide jacking" Great find ! Evasive and none evasive testing is always required, you are a credit to your trade Sir.
Good work! Wish I could count on most shops to be as thorough. If you get incompotent mechanics, you can easily just get lots of tests and parts passed along to customer & still not fix the problem, which appears is what happened here. Good work, and I better understand how these systems work now. THANKS & it WAS a very good subject for a video. I'm sure the customer was feeling leary about yet more parts being needed when you first called, but everything you did was necessary and proven so, because it lead you to finding the problem and fixing it. And I'm sure your explanation would make sense to them , as it does when watching the video. If you are a DIY person, with no access to expensive code machines and access to manufacturer's information, you expect tht you might replace some things that are not needed, but you expect that when a garage is charging good money for hourly rate, etc. that those resources ARE BEING PUT TO WORK. I've recently bought a cheap code reader for about $25 along with my long time practice of having a REPAIR MANUAL for the cars I own. Together, these have been an invaluble tool for a DIY person, with a little info, it allows sensible checks, and spending a lot more on a more expensive tool isn't going to help me much, because I can't afford a bunch of speacialty tools & books, so would need a shop to do that anyways. And checking out some videos on my problem has been a nice addition from modern times, that often helps you know what to expect when taking things apart.
you deserve a mechanic purple heart award for this video .... been dealing with evap codes for years now bout time i dig deep and fix it thank you!
incredibly well thought out video packed full of extremely useful information. thank you, you've gained a subscriber

Well Done!
Mr. P
Awesome Job!!!! Thanks again for your efforts & time to make these videos 😁👍👍
Thank you so much Conrad! I appreciate the comments!
Mike Becker, Senior Instructor
Great troubleshooting diagnosis. It’s almost never the ECU yet it always seems to get the blame. Some people are just really bad at troubleshooting!
Hey Mjg263, thanks for watching! It's the big mystery box...when all else fails..."it must be the PCM"! haha!
Mike Becker, Senior Instructor
Its that they dont know what they r doing
My question is how people can just part with so much money....and yet accept it with these faults.
Profound knowledge of the system -- priceless!!! Thanks Excellent Video!!! Inspiring.
Hey Arechj, thanks for watching!
Mike Becker, Senior Instructor
By far the best repair video i have ever seen. Definitely subscribing.
Wow, thank you so muh!!!
Mike Becker, Senior Instructor
The signal wire doesn’t send 5v to the sensor, the Vref does that, the Vref and signal are just shorted together inside the PCM for diagnostic purposes Chrysler does the same thing, while Ford and GM do not if you measure the signal wire in those cars it will read 0v. You had the right idea just explained it slightly wrong and it’s a pet peeve of mine... still love the videos and you’ve taught me a lot over the years!
Made my own smoker - found a smoke trail coming out the EVAP TEST PORT - used the Purge port
since the purge valve was tested - new - using the LASER Idea I noticed a hazing of the RED beam.
Fixed LARGE leak 455
Hi CJ,
Nice work! The red laser is a great tool for finding smoke!
Ryan Wilsing, Technical Instructor
Wonderful work through on this problem. So many great tips and vicarious experience gained. Thank you!
Excellent work 🤯 who would’ve thought it was a leak 🤨
Hey Hektor, thanks for watching man! All else fails...must be the PCM causing the leak 😂
With the title and seeing the car in the background as the video started I suspected the fuel pump cracked. Seen many of these with this issue.
Awesome job as always!
Hey S G, thanks for watching and commenting anyway! 😀

Excellent information. Thanks for being thorough and honest!. Rare trait today.
The absolute most in depth, honest, human I've had the pleasure of watching from start to finish. Believe it there's a boat load of non conducive jargon idiots out there but not here on this channel. So impressed that I donated based on professionalism alone
Beautifully done video. You are a great tech and teacher.
UR very good. Thank you for sharing this information. I recently bought a 2013 motorhome with V10. I have had to learn about these evap systems and you do a bang up job.
Good one Mike, thanks for sharing.
Hope all is well with you and the family.
Hey John, thanks dude! All good here, hope the same for you!!!

Same here. I need someone to fix my vw golf !! Mine doesn't have a cel coming on or anything ! Idles really rough puffy idle. No smoke. Shakes the entire car and engine. Just lost at this point...
@Sam S I checked the to make sure the cel works and it does. Just hasn't been long enough or bad enough symptoms for it to kick the light on yet I guess.
We need more mechanics like you that are honest about there work I never trust dealerships hey like to up scale the prizes it happened to me to
Thank you, I like the whole process from start to finish, please the videos coming
Thanks Benjamin! Thanks for watching!
Mike Becker, Senior Instructor
Outstanding video. Thanks for this!
Great job on this, in the case of these other mechs that checked this, they definitely were lacking the proper experience and just kept adding parts to see if the problem would go away or they could be one of those dishonest shops that keep the customer coming back for more which equals more dollars in their pockets. It's embarrassing to say but yes the scam artists are still out there taking advantage of folks.
Hey Mel, thanks for watching! I wish they weren't out there...but that's life. :(
Mike Becker, Senior Instructor
Mike, you did a hell of a job in your explanation of diagnosing this car. I really feel bad for the customer that spent $500 dollars with a vehicle that still wasn't fixed. And good of him to bring it to you in saving $1600 where it still wouldn't be fixed. Oh, I meant to send you an email about receiving the T-shirts and got side-tracked. Thanks Mike for the shirts and keep up the good work with the videos!
Hey Terry, thanks man!!! I felt so bad for this guy...and to spend $500 to "drop the tank and inspect" when the tank didn't even NEED to be dropped ARGHGHGG! ***Deep calm breaths*** haha! I hope you like the shirts! 😀
Mike Becker, Senior Instructor
What was the final repair cost from your shop?
Thank you I stopped calling myself a mechanic when all these electronics started to be added to vehicles and the diagnosis of them varies inconsistently. And the cost of the diagnostic tools were to much for me. As a parts changer now it's more frustrating to not look like I'm dragging the job on to make more money. That's why I love TH-cam and people like you to get right to the issues of these modern day overthought vehicles that come with parts that are designed to fail in shorter periods of time. As one mechanic once told me; they make more parts than cars
Excellent video. I always learn something new. Thank you.
Hey J J, thanks a ton! :)
Mike Becker, Senior Instructor
Excelent information!!👌👍... Thanks You so much, from Puerto Rico! ✌️
My son-and -law was very sure that the gas tank was leaking in his 2010 Hyundai Sonata. But now he is convinced that the gas pump might be the problem. The car has fail the state inspection twice, and the "permanent code" PO455 keeps showing up. We w'll see wat happens next. Thanks for your video,
This wasnt my problem but it was so detailed i couldn't stop watching and gained you a new subscriber
I will now go search your videos to see if i can resolve my evap issues and stop chasing DTC ghosts
Too many shops do that, they see a code and start throwing parts at it. There is some intuition involved but these are computerized things we're dealing with, so you can't always be sure of a hunch like back in the day. The fact that they removed the exhaust and did so much unnecessary labor is a testament to their incompetence and ignorance. I hope the owner took the original shop to court.
Hey Jim, thanks for watching! I'm not sure what's happened since then...the customer was happy with me..not so happy with the previous shop.

Grew video. I had an Elantra last week with a bad canister and after 2 shops misdiagnosed it I became the heroes.
Hey Manny, thanks for watching! It's is definitely rewarding to fix it after others couldn't.
Mike Becker, Senior Instructor
When pressure drops indicate a leak in areas you can't see to test with soapy water you can sometimes run your hand over the hoses and feel the leak. Or stethoscope the leak. Sometimes if you feed the smoke machine from the filler neck you may be able to see smoke that will not be visable after going thru the charcoal canister. You have a really technically literate following. I have to watch parts several times to absorb the information, the same with some of the comments. Not a criticism, but a compliment. I solved a witch of a problem P0455 with your assistance. Thanks.
Great thorough diagnosis and explanation of how the system works . The visual and COMPLETE inspection of the SYSTEM is critical . We may not have the complete story , BUT if they researched , they would never of had to drop the tank . It seems they were quick to slam in parts without going in depth . What scares me is the ECM " diagnosis " . If that went in - then what ? How do they get away with it ? And now my lesson learned on from my old 1987 Celebrity , 2.8 L . It intermittently ran lousy . Vacuum dropped under 12 lbs . at idle . I ran tests on everything . Changed a fuel filter , which wasn't restricted . After studying the shop manual , I plugged the evap purge solenoid and drove it for days with no problems . The solenoid would stick open instead of being pulsed by the ECM . I don't know if over time and rough roads , RR tracks , etc. the charcoal gets pulverized and makes the valve stick or if it just wears out . I don't know if that would skew the fuel trim numbers when stuck open from the vacuum leak ?
Hey Bill, thanks for watching! You're right, the tank never should have come down. As for the purge solenoid being stuck open...the trims will depend on the saturation of the canister. Typically you'll see a lean condition. But rich conditions aren't unheard of.
Mike Becker, Senior Instructor
This was very informative and detailed excellent diagnostic video
Well done!..Thank you for sharing your excellent tutorial here,..you have another recruited another believer to your roster, and a greatful one too!..Salute!
Every one uses a smoke machine for the smoke and its a great feature , but the little ball will tell the true story about evap leaks , if it doesn't drop to the bottom you have a leak! The soapy water is the way to go on hard to find leaks ! Great tips.
really enjoyed it and you got me interested into diagnosing issues.
That's awesome to hear! Thanks for watching!

I think the previous shop broke the tank pressure sensor when they dropped the tank because they didn't unplug it. Once they lowered the tank and saw the pressure sensor dangling, they figured they found the problem. Shops like that, unfortunately, make it seem like they industry is plagued with shysters.
Hey Joseph, thanks for watching! That's a good theory and matches with the way the sensor broke...judging by the piece I found in the tank. It is unfortunate...ugh!!!
Mike Becker, Senior Instructor
true
An apple for the teacher on this one. Keeping an eye on that bubble was critical. I had a Dodge Caravan with a cracked fuel pump in good old California. No rust on the ring. Nudging that ring with the air hammer was also excellent!
Hey Bill, thanks for watching! The air hammer is just what I have to do since I don't have the special lock-ring tool. It works, right?
Mike Becker, Senior Instructor
I'm a tech at a Honda dealership. Honda had an issue with cracking fuel pump modules extremely similar to this. I've even seen it actively leaking fuel while running; interestingly enough, I don't recall it causing evap codes. Good find!
Thank you for taking the time to demonstrate how to apply basic fundamentals utilizing readably available resources to perform a successful diagnostic and repair.
The other lesson I took away from this is the importance of Integrity, Accountability, Transparency, Ethics…all of which appears to be at the root of why this particular car is in your shop.

Great vid as usual thanks
Man, I would LOVE to work in a quiet shop like that for EVAP leaks:) Nice work bro! You are a professional and you take all your training and experience serious, that's great! You have the right to get upset when a vehicle comes in like this! I assure you, your not the only tech seeing this.
There are waaaay to many shops that have no clue on what there doing! Is this okay? Who/where are the people in charge that make the decisions on who needs licensing in the trades? You need a license to cut hair here in MA. Do you think auto shops should be licensed? I think it would weed out the problems immensely! It also may give Mechanics/techs the respect/credit they are due when they put so much into being the best they can! I put my life into this trade! Though, If I could start over. I would have chosen to become an Electrician, Plumber, or even a Carpenter. Far less tooling, more respect, less training, and most get paid more per Hr starting out then a master mechanic does 30 years in.
example of what should be done: you want to be a Autotech? Okay, set up a shop with 3 or 4 broken vehicles in it(electrical & driveability). Have the license goer fix each one on a time limit. give the tools(scan tool, M-meter) service info, repair order concerns. Make the diagnosis and report your steps.
What about ASE you may ask? ASE is a joke! most shops have the signs up for ASE but have like 1 certification, maybe. You never see those guys(from the "shops") at any training venues! What do you think should be done about this HUGE problem in our industry?
then there is You-are-a-mechanicTube :)
holy moly.. a bit of ramblin today..
Okay, I'm done:)

I've had rust crack a toilet tank much like that. The studs that were built into the tank eventually got rotten from years of condensation and put enough pressure on the tank to split it quite a few inches. Two things to take away is rust can expand in all directions and rust can win at all the worst times.
Hey Shaun, so true! Rust almost always wins...unfortunately :(
