In a previous video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uu-L2PKr9LM&t I had a look at a GMC Yukon that would not crank over. I made the call on replacing the engine computer. Now it is time to see if it is fixed. -Enjoy!

    Not that surprising that you're not a car guy. Neither am I. What I am interested in is being as self sufficient as possible. Thank you for helping me become a little more so in this area. as always, thanks for sharing 😊

    There is no one in KY half as close to diagnosis awesomeness as what I see in these videos. My wife is broke down 45 minutes away from me where I work in our 04 Yukon. Starter will not activate. I have the fun job of troubleshooting tomorrow morning when I get off work. YAY…….

  19. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars the reptile guyz says:

    Sometimes I wish I wasn't so in love with the vehicles I think you make a better mechanic When your not Emotionally attached lol Just get the job done move on to the next one

  20. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars the reptile guyz says:

    I think that was really odd that it wouldn't start after the security light was off Have used that same method to remove the vats from The PCM After you get the security light out usually you can start it At least in the bourbons Maybe has to do with the Drive by wire If you get the security light out and start the car you can pull the body control module And as long is it doesn't die And you have the body control module unplug When you turn it off You can pull the computer And not have to go through that Key Re learn When you do the ls swap Into another car

    The Brady Bunch or the South Main Bunch? They got heads on 'em like mice.

  26. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars tony Chipelo says:

  27. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Allen Glenn says:

  33. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars wrenchhead525 says:

    Awesome work!

  34. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Test McGee says:

    To the uninitiated the first suspect is always “the computer” (ECU/ECM/PCM…). With some experience it becomes the last suspect. I’ve still never come across a bad one.

    After helping a friend with a turbo conversion (engine swap) in his Audi, we accidentally ran full cranking current through the ECU. Probably around 100 Amps. We had failed to install the engine-to-chassis ground strap. The insulation on the ECU’s ground wire melted off completely when we cranked the engine as all the starter current was carried through it. We realized our error, installed the ground strap and started the engine. The ECU ran the car perfectly. That was in 2008. The ECU still works perfectly.

  35. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mike Carson says:

    One of the best mechanics I've ever seen!
