Woow, South Main Auto is following Dan. Scanner Danner is missing from the picture in order to have the ultimate knowledge trio. By the way, Dan, what type of power probe is that? Can you give a link or a full name and model? Thank you in advance.
A proper diagnostician in Europe that decided to go on camera. Not enough thumbs-up for your videos. A big thank you for helping to decipher the contorted ways of European car makers. You fill a big gap here. Happy New Year!
Love the way you explane Things. You don't talk to fast and everything is well explaned 👌. Do you Ever get confused on anything? 😜. You really Are a pro 💪
You made finding that broken wire look easy. I confess I am usually tempted to install jumper wires from a to b instead of pulling a whole harness apart. Once more hats off to you.
As I get older, I’m looking to retrain. My background was in sales for 20 years but 10 years ago I became an MOT tester. I don’t have a great understanding of electrics but I feel I really want to get into the diagnostic side and work things out and help fix things right first time. Your channel is provoking lots of positive thoughts that I should just go for it!
Good one Dan, it makes sense why they incorporated the Intake temp sensor with the MAP in a diesel. Found a new use for my vacuum pump. Ty Dan keep em coming.
Great video! This fault is very common on this generation of VAG engines, so I always check there first. Never experienced an open circuit on a map sensor, but several issues with crank and cam position sensors and coolant temperature sensor. My guess was the connection housing on the sensor was filled with oil. Also a common problem, but only on cars with the sensor placed near the inter cooler.
Dan another excellent troubleshooting video,also another educational video explaining how the MAP sensor works. Even though I had to educate myself on kPa and atmospheric pressures and vacuum. All knowledge is helpful. Thanks very much. Those wiring diagrams are excellent. They definitely help in the troubleshooting process. Cheers 👍👍
I have the exact same problem on a 2003 Bora tdi 130, only difference is the Kpa is 255 for me. Gonna have a look if this is the cause for me also, but even if not this is the best diagnosing video I have seen.
@DiagnoseDan you should definitely make a tour around your workshop. I would love to see the tools that you use and love the most and some recommendations for the other technicians what to buy, what is not worth to buy and so on ;)
Hi,Dan I enjoy watching all you videos,very well explanation & diagnosed , your auto technician skill is ten out of ten ,thanks for sharing with us all your hard work
Years ago i tested a Ford Map sensor with a voltmeter. The signal stays on 6Volt. With the scope I saw a variation of the frequency. This mapsensor signal was frequency depended. Why 6 Volt? The frequenty changed but the duty cycle stays on 50%. So my voltmeter indicated the half of the battery tension. 12 V x 50% = 6Volt. This prove a scope is a very important instrument. Thanks Dan for this video.
Can I ask what software you were using there? Looks very impressive. I also want to say thank you for your videos. You put a lot of time and effort into explaining things and I appreciate this a lot. You are a natural instructor.
Thanks Andrew that's a Nice thing to say. I guess you are talking about the scope software. I'm using the Gmto scope with Atis Software. For more info go the Ryans Automotive website.
Dan, cool video as always. Going to check my wires on my 750li 06. Will check as over here in Canada, the MAP sensors are so darn expensive. When i look at the sensor it appears brand new?? Will check the low point in wiring harness as well. Not sure why they made the wires so dainty? Also, watched your video on VW air problems. My sons 08 Tiguan has an ac problem...will tell him to check temp sensor and blower resistor? Problems, problems, problems. My front passenger window stopped the other day as well. I'm kinda thinking it is a ground problem effecting a myriad of problems. Now my Porsche 911, i took it to a shop once upon a time. The cruise was working when it went in...they unfixed it some how. I just tried putting some wd40 in the cruise control lever? WD40 worked on my power window and moon roof switches. So hey give it a shot. I remember the mechanic saying we disconnected the decelerater vacuum as the car will perform better?? I say some mechanics just scare the crap out of me. PS Also watched your video on the ABS module where you found another one of those dainty wires. Your the greatest. Too bad you couldn't diagnose via what's app.
GRUSS Newton The Power probe is a great tool as long as you use it properly! The tool has it's limitations but as long you know what they are your fine! I Love PP i have 3 of them😉
DiagnoseDan just watched a video on the ‘hook’ can it measure starter amperage just by measuring the positive terminal on the battery when cranking the starter?
DiagnoseDan correct, never enough!! I have the older autel maxisys mini 905 software up to date and when it comes to bidirectional control it beats the snap on Verus, also the ford software is just like IDS, Vauxhall (Opel GM) just like tech2 (GDS) and Volkswagen like vcds very impressive, although data logging is not very good on playback not as good as Verus cheers Dan, Sandy
DiagnoseDan , you are sharp, you probably don't need it but I'll throw it in anyway : Another Big Dog Neighborhood outta Alburquerque, New Mexico - www.automotive testsolutions.com ( The "EScan" DLC software, even give you a Print Out on Catalytic Converters, after a Test Drive...Lets you know if it or they Passed or Failed from 0% to 100%...Just like in High School.... 90 % to 100 % = Fantastic 80 % to 89 % = Good ! 70 % to 79 % = Fair 60 % - 69 % = Poor 59 % & Below = Deplorable
First time I ever heard of a VW Caddy. Had to look it up. We don't have that vehicle in the USA at all and if it was, they'd use a different name. Here it's common to refer to Cadillacs as a Caddy.
Hi Danny, i want to ask how we have 5v at purple wire with no MAP sensor plugged? I thought that with no MAP plugged we should have: Ground to pin 1 5v to pin3 (Grey-Black) Nothing to pin4 (Purple) Am i misunderstood something? Thanks again for your time and for the knowledge that you share with us
awsome video thank u.. why does powerprobe reading show 20m50.5 when you were not hooked up to the 5 volt reference feed on map sensor.. what does 20m50.5 mean
Morning Dan. Nice fix. Dan i have a VW T5 2.5 tdi, its going to limp mode complaining about low boost, when i test my MAP sensor i have 1 ground but all other 3 wires have 5 volts is that normal or there is something wrong with my ECU
Very informative but it would provide guidance to know that someone ALREADY put a new map sensor beforehand, as evident from the vehicle being 13 years old and having such a clean and shiny sensor which would generally rule out TESTING sensor before checking powers and ground (wiring) first. I noticed you failed to mention that or did I miss it?
Very nice, but correct me if I`m wrong: Short to ground in the ground wire could not be, the fault code can not see that, that will make the sensor be on all the time, but showing the correct pressure. -disconnect the sensor -pin the 5 V reference, connect test light to bat - . If test light on, good reference. Otherwise bad reference. -pin the ground, test light to bat +. If test light off, bad ground. -pin the signal wire. With test light to battery +, watch the scan data. If no movement, bad signal wire. Otherwise, bad sensor.
i'm pleased I found your channel, you know your stuff, could you do a video on how to use the snapon/bluepoint voltage reference probe (v r probe) cheers mate
Dan you called the PURPLE cable the +5V supply for the temperature sensor, but I can see in the circuit diagram that there is no PURPLE but only VIOLET. VIOLET is the signal wire of the PRESSURE sensor. Please clarify?
To be honest it never came in my mind to check MAP sensor with the vacuum pump. Great video. Another thing I have seen these MAP earlier sensors had 4 wires, now they have only 3. Any idea what happened there?
Dan have you seen the A6 with the dreaded BLB engine, P0299 turbo underboost code, blowing exhaust smoke out of the egr cooler valve- misfire when cold at idle when you pump the brake pedal the misfire goes- has me absolutely stuck- I wondered does it have a restricted exhaust as it had a turbo replacement and a rattle in the exhaust baffle 🤔 Strange fault will put it in limp mode if you push it hard up a hill
wow!! thanks good imformation!! my car 2007 audi a6 c6 broken code is P1156 intake air pressure ground shot and P0113 intake temperature sensor signal high (+ short..) how do i do ? can you help me? or you have a video like that?
Nice fix Dan!

Best detective stories are airing on this channel! Subscribed!
Nice repair! I found a broken wire too once in the exact same spot on a 2.0sdi! It was a wire for the throttle body that gave a fault code.
Great video ... I like the way you diagnosing and also like your presentation
Easy to understand Dan,great find and fix....love your videos 👍
This is the best video I have seen ... . Thanks 😊
Well done Dan another thorough job well done 👍

TOP explanations as always!
Thanks you and have a very best Winter Holidays! kind regards
Thanks! Same to you and your family!
Nice diagnosis Dan & repair!
Hayward's Automotive Thanx 😊
Excellent stuff very well explained.
Not usually a fan of the power probe but I can see where this is quite useful especially at substituting reference voltages etc.
Great stuff! 👍
GRUSS Newton The Power probe is a great tool as long as you use it properly! The tool has it's limitations but as long you know what they are your fine! I Love PP i have 3 of them😉
DiagnoseDan just watched a video on the ‘hook’ can it measure starter amperage just by measuring the positive terminal on the battery when cranking the starter?
GRUSS Newton No not to my knowlege. It can measure Current but you have to put it in between the wire.
Another win, good work Dan..
Super 👍🏽 Columbo 👏 very Nice !
Many thanks Dan, another great video tutorial! Is snap on the only code reader u use or do you have others? Cheers sandy
sandy I have a snap on, a Autologic, a Launch, and a autocom. And I'm thinking about the Autel maxisys😂
Never enough tools Sandy!

Ronin Johny Thanx for watching!
Another great video. I hope all is well with you. The rate at which you are publishing videos has slowed.
Great video Dan, which back probes were you using? Mine are not flexible like yours.
Gmto backprobes
DiagnoseDan many thanks for that. I will take a look
Do you prefer to use those heat shrink solder sleeves over standard soldering ? Also is the hook power probe worth buying ? 👍
Excellent job sir,thank u for sharing
Great job again like always
Great job ....you are the best thank you
WOW thanks!
thanks for all
you speak a very good english
Hi Danny, i want to ask how we have 5v at purple wire with no MAP sensor plugged?
I thought that with no MAP plugged we should have:
Ground to pin 1
5v to pin3 (Grey-Black)
Nothing to pin4 (Purple)
Am i misunderstood something?
Thanks again for your time and for the knowledge that you share with us
You are the best dan
awsome video thank u.. why does powerprobe reading show 20m50.5 when you were not hooked up to the 5 volt reference feed on map sensor.. what does 20m50.5 mean
Thanks for your video. We love it.
Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment it's appriciated. Love your tools, very helpfull. Keep up the great work 😁👍
@@Diagnosedan thanks. We will have soon new updates. Happy Easter from the Power Probe Team.
Morning Dan. Nice fix. Dan i have a VW T5 2.5 tdi, its going to limp mode complaining about low boost, when i test my MAP sensor i have 1 ground but all other 3 wires have 5 volts is that normal or
there is something wrong with my ECU
We need more videos Dan!:)
Doing the best i can😁
Great diagnosis 👍
Thanks for the Nice comment!
Very informative but it would provide guidance to know that someone ALREADY put a new map sensor beforehand, as evident from the vehicle being 13 years old and having such a clean and shiny sensor which would generally rule out TESTING sensor before checking powers and ground (wiring) first. I noticed you failed to mention that or did I miss it?
fantastic DAN.
Very nice, but correct me if I`m wrong:
Short to ground in the ground wire could not be, the fault code can not see that, that will make the sensor be on all the time, but showing the correct pressure.
-disconnect the sensor
-pin the 5 V reference, connect test light to bat - . If test light on, good reference. Otherwise bad reference.
-pin the ground, test light to bat +. If test light off, bad ground.
-pin the signal wire. With test light to battery +, watch the scan data. If no movement, bad signal wire.
Otherwise, bad sensor.
gearstil Remember that the faultcode is set on the signal wire. And the signal wire can be shorted to + / - puling the signal up or down!/😁
DiagnoseDan I think the last test convers that also. Test light to bat + touching the signal wire and no responce from the scan data...
gearstil interesting debate and it’s educational at the same time , would you say if signal high it mean less voltage and if signal low high voltage
جيد جدا انت رجل طيب الله يحفظك
Thanks!
i'm pleased I found your channel, you know your stuff, could you do a video on how to use the snapon/bluepoint voltage reference probe (v r probe) cheers mate
chris hatfield That's great to hear! About the bluepoint voltage reference probe, i don't own one!😉
Love your channel. As im sure you know, could you please share that when bench testing some sensors you need a pull up resistor
Dan you called the PURPLE cable the +5V supply for the temperature sensor, but I can see in the circuit diagram that there is no PURPLE but only VIOLET. VIOLET is the signal wire of the PRESSURE sensor. Please clarify?
You are right i noticed, i mixed them up shooting the video!
To be honest it never came in my mind to check MAP sensor with the vacuum pump. Great video.
Another thing I have seen these MAP earlier sensors had 4 wires, now they have only 3. Any idea what happened there?
No idea😊
