If I had ten dollars for every time that I had been called out to a shop to do a diag, and after taking loads and loads of equipment with me like scopes and scan tools , just to arrive, get my torch and test light out, to then find myself changing a single fuse and going home again…… then id be writing this from the Bahamas and not my livingroom lol I’m so tired of telling people to check fuses before they call me, that now I don’t even bother, I just charge them accordingly once I’ve changed it for them.
If you test a suspected short-circuit with a test light the worst thing that can happen is the light bulb will light up. I know years ago when him, Eric O., and Paul Danner went to Eric-the-car-Guy's meetup they probably had at least 100 test lights between them. They even diagnosed a power window issue on a Chevrolet truck; turned out to be bad relays.
Good evening from Tokyo. Great dual-tasking Ivan, combining visiting family and assisting friends diagnose auto electrical problems along the route. Your troubleshooting methodology and experiences really made for a couple of quick discoveries. Well done! PS: The Land Cruiser looked mighty fine!
Hmmmm apparently someone forgot to KISS and check the basics on that GM blown fuse. Guessing the old purge selanoid got stuck and shorted and blew the fuse. Nobody bothered to look at a wiring diagram until you did.
Interesting case on that GMC. The owner threw 3 mass airflow sensors at it, and none of them worked. But never thought to check to see if it had power and ground with a simple test light.... His money was far better spent calling Ivan. Nice work bro.
I really like the Toyota floor mod to access the fuel pump without dropping the tank... I must confess that I have done the same thing on a few of my cars in the past... tin snips FTW!
I used a drill and a bore scope to get me to the exact location and a nibbler to put in the new access door on my 02 Saturn L200 , I’m always thinking about the next owner! That one mod saved me hours on the fuel pump and about 3 months later on the sending unit replacement.
Basic checks first should be in every diagnostic handbook. The most basic is to check fuses after pulling up a wiring diagram. Eliminate electrical problems before breaking out the sockets and wrenches.
Wasnt expecting a mid week vid, glad you posted cause i felt a little bit bad for the guy who commented "no audio or video" on yesterday community post.
Parts cannon on a blown fuse! Solid diagnostic, Ivan! Still wondering what caused the fuse to blow - if it happens again, it requires a careful wiring inspection. Smart approach on the land Cruiser for a quick diagnostic! Curious to know what happened after the fuel pump replacement (did they cut the floor to get to the pump?).
I have only watched the first 1/3 of your vidio and have to comment. You are the bestttttttttttt!! You have found a falt. Nw I will watch to se how you fix it. You are the GREATEST DIAGNOSTICIAN!!
One Rover BMW M47 engines have Bosch film type MAF I now do quick checks on the MAF using a multimeter, power and ground the look for known output voltage at idle and at 4000 rpm
great job alot of the time multiply problems can lead to a common ground who would have though it was a common power my boss was not best trouble shooter but when call a report at ac company i worked for industrial chillers we had better checked all the fuses
That old Toyota no doubt has some life left, but it is definitely looking a little crusty . Saw an interesting episode from CCN today too . About a 94 Lexus/ Camry that was intermittently dying and many other shops couldn’t figure it out! I had a pretty good idea what the problem was! 🆒👍👍🇺🇸
@@PineHollowAutoDiagnosticsI did consider that thought at work today when I watched it, just didn’t have the time to come up with a respectable way to do so. I’ve come to find that if You step too far off the beatin Toyota path on that channel, it will mysteriously disappear. 👍👍🇺🇸
Man ivan I'm literally dealing with the exact same codes on a 2014 6.0 .. I thought it was a ref low or a 5vref 2 issue as it was to many codes all at once . ( we also had abs codes ) I've chased it down to the cmp, and ckp sensors. I believe the cmp sensor is shorting sending out static on the 5vref2 ...
you do amazing work I watched a video where you diagnosed the bad fuse box for the no crank on the 03 Chevy I have a very similar issue but not that exact problem, is there any way I could get in touch with you?
i get a kick out of new york laws.you can drive around with your suspension & steering parts falling off.& thats OK as long as it passes emissions.so you can breathe clean air as you die in your car crash.makes a hell of alot of sence.
😂 😢 It is a very actives working technician cars garage.Sometimes they're overwhelmed with too many cars to work on.They don't have the needed times to properly diagnosis like Ivan does.Ivan is on his own,he has more times to do it.Because he is an independence working cars technician mechanic.He has a lot more time to do it.
This unfortunately reminds me of Alaska Air flight 182, the one with the seized Jack screw where everybody on board was lost. In reading the final NTSB report, I found that the pilots made a bad situation worse by trying to move the Jack screw when it was clearly jammed. They kept trying to move it while observing the voltage spikes that occurred with the jammed part. They clearly had no mechanical sympathy and everybody paid for it with their lives.
Why is it that so many educated people never think of the easiest thing to check before spending money on parts that don't fix their problem ? Fuses is my first go to if something isn't working, I only go after power problems if the fuses blows ! I guess common sense has left the building on so many people !
You would think that after the computer throws the code, they would have checked power and grounds on the part in an attempt to ensure it was the actual part that was bad.
Because the educated people think going to a parts store to read codes and they tell you the codes will solve their problems. I've always told people. That's where you start the trouble shooting process first before replacing parts. Nooooo...they say
@@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics Thanks Ivan. I will look for it Monday on my next diagnosis. I have honestly not found anything for eobd but I will look again. Love all your videos. I have learned so much from you. Thanks again.
The fuse would blow if it drew to much current, thanks for the compliment . Many fuel pumps have been freed up without burning up any wires. You obviously don't under stand circuitry.@@2nickles647
You couldn’t give me a 1998 and newer Chevy GM for free. Prior to 1998 they were bullet proof After 1999 it all went horribly wrong. Some of my customers think I’m joking when I say this stuff and then they blow the engine in their new 2023 and 2024 GM products and now they know why
Blown up= motor is in pieces Blown up used as a CLICK BAIT these days. I do own a 03 Chevy Silverado. Going on 477k... finally going to need the transmission rebuilt by this 70 year old man. Wish me luck. That's after my Land Rover radiator sprung a leak. Fix my radiator first. Then fix my Chevy 😊
The 1960 cars the check engine light never came in the only light came on was Ford Blue light said the engine was cold it turn off when warm up they put that junk on the cars so more parts go bad my friend Owen a Smog shop he said the old cars pass the emissions test better then the New cars
That is amazing how long it went without somebody finding a blown fuse. That is the state of the industry.
Haven’t seen an 88 Land Cruiser is a while.

I have learned from Ivan a test light and a wiring diagram is an extremely valuable diagnostic tool,despite its simplicity. Well done Ivan.

Too bad all your road trips weren't as easily diagnosed and repaired. Thanks again for bringing us along. God bless
Damn that Land Cruiser is sweet. Thanks Ivan!

oh boy... vintage land cruiser shipped to upper state NY to a horrible rust death in 2 years per EricO! lol
Eric says longer, if you boil the car in sheep fat or something !
Kinda looks to be already infected.

Great diagnosis! Owner replaced MAF 3 times - but without looking at schematic.....
Read the code and fire the cannon! 😂
Should have fired it 1 time, then checked more in depth🤣
"If at first you don't succeed, fire fire that parts cannon again"
@@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics WRONG ANSWER, IVAN TEMNYKH! You know they didn't even check to see if the MAF was being commanded on.......

I thought Pa. was bad, and NY possibly worse, until I saw some of the stuff that Wes works on in Chicago! Unbelievable!
Nice job
Ithaca is only 60 or so miles far from Avoca, are you planning on visiting SMA?
@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics What was the purpose of putting the 5a load (bulbs) across the fuse pins please?
Thanks for the video Ivan.
When you're local. Shop guy cannot find a blown fuse
Your making a point. So am I. Lol

Parts can't work without power !
And you can't write a coherent sentence in English

Ivan can you do a video on how you made the test light.
Take GM truck tail light harness and solder on some banana jacks 😉
That land cruiser has a general motors engine in it. I know, seems crazy
Buying a car that old it is definitely getting a new fuel pump, working or not. I have trust issues. lol
Why did it stall out and then magically have mass air flow reading ???
215k milesMake GM great again.
No AFM = solid truck 😉👍
Got to like the Toyota..
I bet the purge valve took out the fuse.

What kind of a shop owner can't find a fuse!!!
The one who scans codes and tells you. You need a new mass air flow sensor. 😅😅
,I've, never seen, so many, commas, in one note, before. ,,
Blown fuse. No reason why it blew. Old Toyota, new fuel pump, keep on going.
lights out , Quick slap a sticker on it and send it .
doesn't work that way haha
as a final check i would power the fuel pump with a power probe to confirm if FP would spin up ?
Power Probe is dangerous haha 😅
Why not a few taps on the fuel pump with a hammer, I've seen that free them up@@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics
@@hcox1111you can burn up the wires Sherlock. If you tap on a fuel pump to free it up. You need to replace the pump already.

Sounds like the battery has been sitting as long as the truck has
I don't understand how you knew the fuel pump wasn't spinning by seeing the 13 amps?
It was dead silent lol
It shouldn't pull that puck power. That's locked rotor current draw.
Plus as he said, it was silent.
