LMAO you woke the Gremlin, you may have blown the fuse with that connector you unplugged
Temps have been swinging all over lately. Way way way back when they first come out with the electric actuators. Some time with very cold or low diff fluid it the servo wouldn't shift the and lock into 4×4. Just thinking 🤔
Tool it in right after warranty expired and sold it back to dealer cause it had a bunch of crap wrong with it and still owed on it and not even 2 years into owning it it was turn ik ng into a turd …..but right b4 I gave it back to them the fro t half axles were garbage anyways so did a bunch of 4×4 drop the clutch donuts shit that was fun store up that poor mcdonalds parking lot…..lol
Only brand new truck I've ever had! Miss my 05 colorado it was regular cab regular bed z71 off road 4×4 5speed with the mighty 2.8 4cyl chineesium knock off of the toyota 2.7 sounded just like a yoga and basically was a Tacoma and that's why I got it I wanted a yoga but the Colorado was like 8 grand cheaper was a bad arse little pick em up truck but push button 4×4 sucked and wasnt great off road and didnt ha e enough GVW to pull anyone out of the ditch cause it was a chinesium tonka truck toy…..
I wonder if the blown fuse was due to disconnecting 3 grounds without disconnecting battery power.
Mr O I am totally confused I watched this video two times whenever you test something you are the most thorough mechanic out there and I cannot figure why this Colorado is now working correctly when you didn't work on the wiring all you did was some programming I mean there are no rusties no crusties no green junk on the terminals what is that the only problem that was wrong with this truck I am lost on how you got this thing working can you please explain .
Good thing it wasn’t A, B , C & S 😂 my wife has Invisalign I feel ya. Not fun to be like that.
I wish i had half of your knowledge and patience, I can’t wait for the day that I don’t have to fix anymore vehicles 😅and helping my company get richer
The biggest clue it’s a scam is the person’s accent. Are we so PC these days that we can’t say this? 99% of scammers are African or Indian.
POS Chevy, always good for repair shop income.
I can't go through all 750 comments but did he eventually see the atc motor needed the engine on for that test? even if its n/a
The electricals on those are so bad. Janky cheap ground splices under the hood cause so many weird problems
it's all fun and games until the logic becomes illogical. 🥳
My guess is they unplugged the transfer case connector looking for a power when they were fitting that GPS 😏 they're too close together to me…. But what a pain, hopefully they'll book it in for a full service and O2 soon 👌
Ignore your teeth and they will go away.
Merry Christmas from New Hampshire
On my truck like that the dash readouts/lights don't always work. Also my back-up lights don't want to stay working. I still really like my truck. 219,000+ miles on it.
You fixed it by reseating the module connector.
BAD GROUNDS CAN DRIVE ONE N U T Z !!! ELECTRONS MUST HAVE AN END TO FLOW…HUGE CIRCLE ON A VEHICLE!!! I SAW YOUR FIX ON THE TRUCK WITH THAT GROUND GOING TO FRAME…HOOORAHHHH!!!
It's a chevy from Mexico
Is it 3.5 or 3.7?
Looser connection that got touched, then fixed.
This would have made a great Halloween special, spooky truck.
Merry Christmas to you and your family, Eric.
As honest as you are, the customer got his monies worth.
Oh the teeth thing. I know so well, the older you get the more has to be done and the more money it takes. You would think in this day and time with all the advances in just about everything known to man there would be something invented, discovered that we wouldn’t have any problems with our teeth. But then I guess that would put a lot of dentists on the unemployment line. Kinda like cars if they were built worth a crap Mr and Mrs O would be doing a cooking and farming show.
The problem is it is partly an Isuzu I series. I can't stand this series trucks.
So, am I the only one that hits the mouse scroll to read ahead. But only scroll the video off screen to the comments. Or the classic, move your head to get a better look at what Eric is trying to show.
The code sequence 2H-N-4H-4L, as per your sheet, has three encoder signals changing state and one not changing state. However, I think there must be intermediate states, not listed on your paper print out to give the motor better positional resolution. My guess would be P is used for end positions, and ABC used for intermediate absolute position represented as a Gray Code sequence.
When in doubt for an intermittent which will not repeat is clean connector contacts. Spray the contacts with Deoxit D5, cycle (connect/disconnect/connect) the connector a few times and this will, in my experience, rule out a faulty pin connection. Then as you have done inspect potential problem areas like chassis grounds.
So, are we still quitting?
YOU sound SILLY….😉
😂😂 it always happens when you want to go home
Hey Eric, love your videos – I've learned a ton! Curious about your Tech 2 scanner setup and what hardware you use with it? Looks like it's wireless, which would be handy. I know you're a busy man and probably won't find this but if you do and have a minute please go over what you were using in this video. Thanks and Merry Christmas!
Sometimes disconnecting and reconnecting works wonders._
It's called pulling my hair out problems
Eric , do you miss that time when cars didnt have "brains" to complain every little hickup in it, and turn funcktions down, what ever driver cant do?? ECU I can understand, but everything? like washerfluid, oil level, tirepressure, those basic things driver should to to, even check if any lightbulp is working, and sometimes is there fuel in tank, when its no run, just cranking.
IDK, seems like when a customer adds AM electronics components, in this case the GPS tracker, if not properly installed can lead to miscommunications, in a 94 Honda Accord I had, the previous owner added an alarm system. Began to get service light warnings, stuttering, stalling, sometimes would turn off without warning, sometimes D4 light would go on. Finally disconnected the alarm out of frustration and lo and behold, the car worked great and lasted another 100k without major repairs. Just throwing my thoughts out there
Hello Eric, great videos. What do you think of this scan tool I am interested in? 2022 New LAUNCH X431 CRP123 OBD2 Diagnostic Scanner ABS SRS Fault Code Reader..
I particularly love these types of videos. It shows real life. As a DIY, when stuff like this happens to me, I feel like I'm missing something, probably something stupid. Or it's just me. Comforting to know that it isn't always me. 😁
I Subbed a while ago and your content created has really improved.
Sometimes you just got to walk away and come back later good to see that we are not the only one that gets pissed off 😄
You've never made a stupid video. Thanks for another good one; looking forward to the next!
I would bet that the connector by the battery was disconnected, temporarily when they did the aftermarket install. And the code was never cleared after it was set. And the service data does read, "Once the code is set, it will remain set and only allow 2WD."
I loved when you said "well we fixed it till it was broke" . Doing the right thing ain't always easy, is it!
Clarity in this one on avoiding wild goose chases and sticking to the data is great advice.
Thanks for another good one!
We call this fixing it to death.
That aftermarket device had PWR, GPS< and CEL indicators. The CEL indicator was blinking. Is it an inhibitor?
Eric you sound just like Cindy brady from the Brady bunch with your S is
NOT a stupid video. This is the real life of an auto tech, right down to dropping a fuse into the abyss.
