In this video I bring you along as I have a look at a customers 2016 Chevrolet Traverse that came in with a customer complaint of a SES light on, A/C off message and the temp gauge no longer works. In the perfect world we could do some testing but why test when you can guess!

I work at a GM assembly plant. The reason for the lock (CPA connector position assurance) is if the connector isn’t seating all the way generally you can’t push the lock in. So it’s basically to ensure during assembly connectors are seated due to us being rushed with jobs being loaded. An engineer told me within the next couple years they will be on 99% of the connectors SMH
Assembly Technican not plugging wire connections in, Quality Control
What happened to the world's most eligible bachelor?
Gut again, no it’s genuine repair,based on common sense.good video.
Magnetized plastic would be awesome
The Ericometer detected a common anomaly and came to a logical conclusion of no Diagnostics necessary….you just know where to shoot the parts cannon….Experience isn't really guessing.
Good call Sir, keep em coming.
What trouble code do you have? 118, 119, whatever it takes.
How come you don't click your trouble light on and off a million times like Mustie1 does?😂
Do all these technical components really make our life easier or just more complicated and expensive when they fail?
Only reason any of that garbage is put on cars together with designing them so you have to have a lift or specialized tools is to force dealer only maintenance.
Funny, I'm beginning to think that there is something wrong with my 2016 Subaru outback as I haven't had to repair any electrical wiring, sensors or components like on GM vehicles!
😂
I left the red lock out of my connecter. Now I get stranded 3 times a week because the connecter keeps falling off.
(Said no one ever.)
Diagnose it? Why?! You've got the parts cannon! Give it a bang! 😂
Not guessing. Experience has shown….
No mans land is the ladies rest room. Speaking of connectors that fall off. The plug fell of the light switch on my 1969 ford pickup one night. Fortunately I was only 1/2 mile from home because the head lights and parking lights didn't work. I didn't have a flash light. Found out that by turning on the hazard lights and pushing the brake slightly the parking lights and tail lights stayed on so I drove home that way. i got a flash light and plugged the connector back on to the light switch. That never happened again so i am guessing they didn't plug it all the way in at the factory.
You do not have coverall so you cannot change the sensor. The International mechanic's police is now aware of your offense Mister !
Traverse the abyss of its plastic engine bay if it break.
After enough experience many of us shoot from the hip at times.
Eric drops the light mother— edit video and we are back to our regular program. One can only guess what language occurred. I know when I drop my work light deep in engine bays some colourful language usually occurs.
Definitely not a mechanic here but never once have I seen a Ford, Chevy or Toyota have a connector that just fell off a sensor. I've seen sensors leak, I've seen connectors get crusty but not spontaneous separation. I hope I don't work on these new locking ones. I will say the nicest locking connector I've had the pleasure to use was the 1991-1994 Explorer fuel injector connector. Little wire spring that held it on. Super easy to undo and nice positive click when it engaged. Doesn't need to be more complicated that that.
Looks like the fella on the label has the gear to torque his nuts as well.
if your light magnetizes to plastic it's probably running way too hot
Connectors rattling off!? Have you ever seen how the connector stranded Kurt Russell on the side of the highway on that ZJ!? He nearly lost his wife because it didn’t have a red locking tab. And nearly lost $90000 too! *that connector doesn’t actually exist on that Jeep lol.
Hiya Eric
Nissan Maxima and pick up, we're very well built back in the 80s. Never needed Green Locks. They definitely didn't have exploding Trannys.
The lock tabs in my estimation have to do with the assembly line, going through and making sure everything is clicked on. Wait until they find a way to put them on Jiffy-Tite connections.
acting up and acting down down with temp.
Good fix Eric O. Thanks for sharing 👍
Again with the laser guided Parts Cannon eh Eric? Folks, this man knows his stuff!
Thought Eric was going to bust a RainMan Ray quote “light gravity” when he dropped the light
Back in the 80’s when I started. All the old iron had single spade connectors on both sensors, oil pressure and temperature.
You should ditch tee spring and reach out to bunker branding for you merchandise.
You've gotta make sure the fishing pole is hidden better the next time you tell Mrs O that you're "taking a car for a shake down".
Eric posting almost every day is just indescribably satisfying
Lmao. Right next to the electronic freaking thermostat needs replacement every oil change!! Who thought that was a good idea!! What’s wrong with the simple mechanical thermostat? Electronic power steering. Electronic alternator. Electronic water pump. Electronic radiator. Electronic bumpers. Electronic glass. Geez that engine tapping like a vw flat four.
Terminal Position Assurance is the term for the existence of those connector locks.
the red lock came from a few engineers together at the bar and they all had kin folks that needed jobs and the connector lock was born
You’re more of a parts sniper than a parts artillery man
Mrs. O is right, you ain't wearin' da overalls you're ain't allowed to work on it.
