Not a 2015 Subaru Impreza. Your quick tip sucks! Downvote.
You're the shyt Eric O. 💩
Will you ever tackle (and video) a 5-wire afr sensor?
How about 5 pin VAG (VW, Seat, Audi, Skoda) lambdas? There i no 2 same colors wires
Eric the tips you provide a great and the videos are even better. I am a 20 year mechanic w/Toyota but I watch the videos on all makes and models because your explanations on the theory and operation are thorough and folks can understand the process we go through each day. I even have new trainees look at some of them because seeing is believing and you do a great job. Keep up the good work and best wishes from down south a bit in Maryland.
Easy peasy
I know this comment is not about the matter of this video.. ,but could you some day make a video solve the vibration on a chevy silverado
Thank you.
AWSOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
👍 SWEEET VID 🚹
Awesome tip! Just got a box full of harnesses and various lamps, solder, and new pencil iron – gotta make my test lights!
Great to see you test that. Most people just replace the sensor without testing it. I had one mini van I worked on a while back. The motor mount was broken and it pulled on the wires breaking one wire inside of the insulation causing that heater circuit code.
Valuable information! Thanks again Eric!
Mr O what would be a good AUTEL model for a DIY guy with family and friends for customers and do have a good time watching your shows THANK you
Hey Eric thanks so much for this video,wonderful job! I wanted to ask you about my own Toyota Camry it's in need of its timing belt and I purchased the Dayco timing belt and water pump kit. I know from other videos you've mentioned that this isn't the best kit to get and you've recommended the Aisin brand kit. I'm unable to return the Dayco kit so the question is do you recommend using any of the components at all? I'd like to change the timing belt at the very least. do you recommend switching out the original water pump for the Dayco pump or just do the timing belt? what's your recommendation if all I have is the Dayco kit. Thanks
Cool vid. I just worked on a case today '13 Genesis Coupe with same code. Did same test. Turned out Ecm went bad. Did not control heater properly. Thanks Eric O. for all the good tips and videos.
Why wouldn't the computer continually monitor the air/fuel ration of the engine? Just when the car first starts up?
Nice job, I have only one problem, your links for tools dont have the proper items in the description. Outstanding thou. Keep up the awesome work you do! God Bless
Thank you Eric O. 👍Good job. Appreciate your videos.
The next AFR you get with a good heater, but failed output, could you do a video
with the Autel & Pico, so we get an idea about current output & how to test AFR's
Hey Mr. O, couldn't find out how to message you. Got a question. Can I troubleshoot missfires using O2 readings? I'm using torque pro and an Elm32 as I didn't have a fancy scan tool yet, and my '99 GMC Sonoma has been missfiring. No codes yet but the missfire is noticible, engine shakes and so does my stick, you can hear it missfire sometimes also. O2 data shows voltage drop spikes in primary O2 voltage on and off idle, sometimes almost down to 0v. I'd send you a screenshot of the data, bit again, can't find out how to message you. If I'm correct, I think I have a clogged or bad fuel injector. Engine vin is 4 if that helps any. Thanks!
Very good info. Thanks for making these videos
No brake clean?!? So disappointed.
that rock and roll playing in the background could hear a word you said you head bangin mechanic AFR should be call AFRT in this case if you get me meaning.
Muesday
you have been using the Autel alot recently. any reason why? knowing what you do with yrs of experience, what would be your scan tool if you could only afford one?
I'm not familiar with the AFR circuit name? I know cars have oxygen sensors to regulate the fuel air ratio. Why did the test light go out when the engine was raised off idle again?
Those test lights come in handy, made a mess of them after watching.
Timing is spot on Eric O. Video posted 7 hours ago so just scraped in to being tech tip Tuesday here in Oz. Love ya work
I'm having a Hell of a time keeping track of what day it is watching this channel ?
I didn't see the aes wave term and lead kit in your store so I bought a coffee cup
Thanks for the video.
Good video eric o
Lol quick tip Tuesday on a Friday whoot
Quick and very helpful tip! Thanks Dr. O!
🙂 Sweet tip!
eric…..I get the testing…. and a good tech needs to know…. but in the real world on a Toyota blow a sensor in and move on! I have worked at a chevy dealer 25 years and independent for 9 years
Thanks for the tip Eric.
Question about the Vantage. Do you like it because it's faster? Only asking because I have a Verus Edge but I find the vantage handy if just doing electrical.
U look like ur really having fun: )
So the sensor only started to work once the engine was hot.
O.c heater, how dare it die :-D.
Er…um…uh…so the heater for the A/F sensor is open circuited and it needs a new A/F sensor…right?
Great video. Hey, I am retired and going to look into getting a project antique tractor to fiddle with. If you were going to replace your model H, what would you be looking for? Thanks.
Great. I get to use my homemade SMA test lights. On my way to get ice cream now.
I really enjoy your informative shows please keep up the good work
When are you going to make Part 4 of "Another day at the shop" video?
Bundle these short ones together, just annoying to get notifications for something that lasts less than five minutes…
good tip I would most likely just load the parts cannon with an af sensor…but there are some that are need to know
Eric loves Comic Sans haha.
Thanks bro!!
Yeeees! More Camry videos please
Quick tip Tuesday. Is great on any day Is this one from grandmother? 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
