- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 มิ.ย. 2018
- In this video we have a look at a 2002 Buick Regal Supercharged that has a Service Vehicle Soon Light on, ABS and Trac light on with codes C1221, C1225, and C1232 stored in it. We play with a new scan tool, the Launch Diagun IV and the Power Probe IV to make a short diag out of this one. -Enjoy!

Tractor Wrangler it’s not up there yet. I’ve looked too. Maybe our friend Mr. O has the honor of getting the first ones. Though you can buy it through his SMA Amazon page. I love this tool so far, I got the Zurich Diagnostic tool from Harbor Freight, it’s good but this level of access to your car in this tool and its price point, makes it great for the DIY’er like me.
Great video man!
Cool but it's really just an android phone and a Bluetooth module. You're paying 550 bucks for the software.
Not really more like an android tablet with the software, no different than any of the other scan tools out there, they pretty much all use a version of Windows, Unix/Linux, or Android as the base, then write the software and a GUI to make it work.
Tractor Wrangler - That is typical rust damage on that rotor. See it all the time. Take a rotor of bare iron. Add some water and salt and overnight it will rust, drive it the next day and some of the rust will come off but most just gets burnished onto the surface, the only clean spot will be where the pads shielded the rotor. Keep that cycle going for a winter and you get rust like you see there. It also gets much worse the longer the vehicle sets unused. I have taken rotors like that and turned them just to see how far you would need to cut them to get back to clean iron. Not something I would do in a shop as you might "save" 1 in 10...
He knows where to look from experience, but verifies it with testing,perfect Mr.O!
Somehow TH-cam is recommending to me SMA videos I haven't seen yet. This is awesome!
Excellent tool demo and troubleshooting tutorial! I’m amazed at how much I’m learning about troubleshooting on your channel.
Keep educating us on that power probe, thanks!
Love all the new toys you get to play with!!!!!!
Dear Mr. And Mrs O. I want to thank you again for your warm welcome that you extended to me and my family . you guys made my year with your hospitality. it was an absolute honor and privilege to meet you guys in person
My pleasure Hans, it was great seeing you and your family! Hope you get to put that PowerProbe IV to good use!!
Already did brother. thank you for it
wow,my name is hans as well,how odd is that,not too many of us out there,lol
My X431 is arriving today. Kinda excited. Eric shows why experience is important.
98% of the time its a wheel speed sensor acting the fool, but I have also seen a crankshaft position sensor also cause unintentional abs activation and traction control lights/codes. Thanks for the content Dr. O!
Best review of scan tools I've ever seen. He actually uses them. Oh, I "Verified circuit integrity" yesterday. Great videos. (insert thumbs up emoji here)
Always fun, Eric. Thanks Man!!
Very nice,thanks for the scan tool review.
That's where experience comes in. Nice scan tool for the price and the WI FI feature is great.
I'm glad to see that you are using Launch Scan Tool on regular basics
Cool Beans. Helped me in my situation. Glad your video was available. THANK YOU.
Thanks man. I need a newer scan tool and all this information you share with us will help me make a best tool purchase. Thanks again.
Thanks for you support,welcome to share more feedback to us.
This inspired me to finally fix my 04 Impala ABS light, I knew it was the right front harness from what the scan tool told me. It broke in two places, the first where you typically see it.. the second up near the oil pan, along with the knock sensor wire. Some animal went to town on the wire harness. No more ABS or check engine lights!
Thanks Eric this helped me fix my 2001 oldsmobile!
Way to rock Eric with another great video. You and JC Smith are the best out there.
Big shout out from Australia love your work.
Cool I have a 01 now I kn what to look out for, always learning thanks for your time .
Excellent Video! Thanks!
I see my request ( from 4 years ago) has finally come true and I can order a SMA shirt ...will go good with my Pine Hollow Diagnostics and the AVE shirts I have :)
Awesome! Thanks for the info. I have a 2000 Buick Regal with supercharger. Great car, ABS/Traction,/Service light all on at the same time intermittently. Has been aince 2011. I opened harness connections all the way down to each wheel and cleaned them all (and moved the wiring around as a result) and it fixed temporily then returned. It was the moving of the wires that no doubt turned the lights off. Harness time!
Sweet Saturday Morning vid!
Much Obliged
Great scanner for Driving the vehicle and checking data at the same time. No OBD wire getting in the way. Great Video. Thumbs Up.
Hello Eric O great answer about 15yrs ago at a carrier chiller controls class we learned the instructor is color blind YOU SAY WHAT remember if he can do it no doubt ERIC O CAN your the best
Fingers crossed Mrs. O is successful up-selling this driver on a brake job. We all share the road with vehicles like this!
I told my buddy to buy The Launch so when he calls me I can talk him thru diagnosing his car otherwise I'm semi-blind. It's pretty impressive tool for the $$. Nice diagnosis
Great video
I was just about to buy the launch scan tool .good to know it works so well
Nice overview of your new scan tool, a really neat piece of kit
Well done Eric. Sam
Nice video, and always a fun ride in the car
That's a handy looking tool 👍
thanks for the help!
That’s a really neat code reader!
Oh you are a tease Eric. Everyone was getting excited, getting ready to fire the parts cannon and now we don’t have to lol
Good, as always
Woohoo another brake job on the horizon! :)
Eric, great video!!
That was a quick find good video
as usual , you make it look so easy ,,you are a real pro! tennessee
What’s up with people giving thumbs down???? Awesome video.... I watch this all day if I could!!!
Thank you for sharing.
you have some cool toys,, love your vids
Nice job eric. That hand held x431 looks really neat. Happy 4th of July to the entire SMA family. I got a great idea. Add a video to your outdoors channel on the 4th.
That's a nice little tool. I might have to get that one myself.
Considering the age of the car that new Launch was blazing fast! Nice diagnosis sir. Have a great weekend. Thanks Dr. O!
Excellent video!
I needed a new DVOM so I went to search the net and found the Power Probe has a combination Power Probe III and a DVOM meter. I ordered it, so you know what I'll be doing on my week off. Nice find there Eric. Experience keeps the jobs moving along and makes for great videos.
Thanks for the video on this exact same ride and year as mine with same issue never figured it out didn't see broke wires but will do what you did...thanks
That is one hell of a nice tool
Excellent!
my hat's off to ya man, you are really really familiar with a very very wide range of systems on a very very wide range of makes man, I also work at an independent shop and work on anything and everything day to day... I hope one day I'll be as familiar as you are with whatever rolls through the door.
My 02 Grand Am has the same issue...... gonna look at it next week for sure!
That has to be the fastest loading /searching scantool I've ever seen 👏👏👏
Thank you
Great job
I own a maroon burgundy 2002 Buick Regal LS I have had it for a year I am the 4th owner & car only had 79,000km when I bought it I really do enjoy driving it as my daily driver it is just hard on gas in the city
Pretty Good Explained Man Kep it Up.
Well done
Nice scenery!
risking your life for the 02 buick,now that's customer service,mr o is a beast,lol
Yes, this is a common problem on these vehicles as GM has a TSB regarding this issue (TSB 03-05-25-008). New harnesses for both front wheels are available with revised wire length and clip locations to prevent the harness from breaking again (Part numbers: 10340318 [RH] and 10340316 [LH]). I believe Dorman has harnesses available as well, but I wouldn't take the risk of using them.
My lights come on going over hard bumps. But when I turn it off they reset.
Sound like the same issue?
@@craigoutdoors30 Yes, anything that causes movement of the broken copper strands in the harness can cause it.
@@josephwash109where’s that harness?
Really like the looks of that diagun tool. And Napa lists a harness for that I believe , if not gm has one... Have replaced many of those.
Nice video eric o
Nice job! Just ordered my official SMA T-shirt, Sweet! Just waiting for the black color to order that one, you know to be authentic and all.
The perfect mechanic
Hahaha-stop and wait for these punks 7:00....another great video Eric, thanks. Learned something about those sensors too.
Sweet piece of tec kit there
All it took was these last 2 videos, and I just ordered that Launch tool.
I enjoy those Yield signs at the railroad crossings.
I would love to see the brake job she has to be riding on the calipers! Have a good weekend!
Got some new tools.. key cutting cnc equipment.. so much fun
South Main Auto Repair - You know that Ivan can fix his customer's cars without the parts cannon most of the time too. :-)))
I must have done hundreds of those wheel speed sensor repair harnesses. I usually reccomend replacing the hub at same time. For some reason shortly after a harness repair the sensor always seemed to go bad causing a comeback. Got tired of whiners so they get hub and harness replaced now
Ive done quite a few of those wire harness's. They make the longer pig tails. Pop it in and budda bing its down the road.
nice railroad "jump tracks" well, except that stop sign close past lol. if not for that you'd have seen me there jumping bikes and motorcycles lol.
Great, I finally found a place that can service my Dongfeng Fengxing!
I'm not going to Google that and just assume it is a dirty double entandre not a Chinese car
Oh yeah no sweat! See them all the time!
Ive replaced hundreds of these wire harnesses, and prob thousands of the bearing/sensors. seemed to be a major issue with these models back then. nice tool too! Im always leery of the bluetooth/wifi connecting
There's never a shortage of GM's with broken wheel speed sensor wires. I off to fry some PCM's with my new toy! Thanks Eric!
Enjoy it my friend!
My ABS light has been on for 10 years! I finally just unplugged it recently, stupid option anyway lol
Dang Eric, another new scan tool :-) I would love it if you would do a scan tool video, NOT a "tool review" per se, but just lay out all your tools in a line, and briefly go down the line and spend a few minutes on each highlighting capabilities and likes/dislikes. I have a "mid-grade" PC-based tool, and have been wanting to step up to a more Professional model with more bi-directional controls, but the choices and price points are dizzying. That little Launch Diagun IV has caught my eye for that price point
I use a diagun II, covers pretty much all systems on most cars.
Sometimes you do have to fool it into communicating with a supposedly unsupported vehicle by knowing which other vehicles in a manufacturer's group have the same system fitted. I guess you can do the same with any brand of scan tool.
The Bluetooth VCI was a big deal back in the days of faffing around with those personality keys for the Verus.
Simon Parkinson
Whenever I see a video or someone whips out those keys it looks like such a pain in the ass
This is fantastic information Mr. O I got it here 1st.
Coll tool there. And hope they get those brakes done as well.
I'm thinking that you and your family should move to the GreenBay area. I think you would be an awesome neighbor. Great video
I'm gonna give er a shot at it... In this 95° weather here in Freeport Long Island. Check back with ya soon, i.e results.
Red Wine and SMA! Yay!
SWEEEET VID 🚹, 👍 THANK YOU
Tail Lights on a Friday, baby!! Time to go sit in Friday rush hour traffic, and stare at tail lights!! Lol
Umm a Buick 3.8 V6 in the shop! Super nice. And that new tool has my interest peaked. The cost is really good for the size and all the technology you get from your purchase. They give you two years of free updates which also excellent. But what do the updates cost after the two years is my concern? I watch Eric O talk about how much he gets billed from the Snap on truck to update his Virus and it's far too much money for a DIYer. BTW, keep the Buicks and Cadillac videos coming.
Boom notifications. Great video as usual already liked and only watched 20seconds 😬😬
FIRST!! I almost forgot, til I scrolled down, and saw a post that reminded me!! Silly me!!
Brake job, break job...it's all good!
Eric you need a giant bell clip at the end like Scotty has.
Nothin like experience bro.
Am seriously considering replacing my otc with that Launch, as my go to, while just keeping the otc as a back up.
I have the same car 141,000 on the odometer, and never had a problem like this. Makes me wonder why some car fail and other do not? Eric thanks for the video's I enjoy them greatly. Keep up the good work.
Scope all the things!
I think you have seen this a time or two yourself huh :) th-cam.com/video/WHS6zDtD_uc/w-d-xo.html
Nice rotors hahahhaa. Thank you my friend.
