The Trainer #149: The GateKeeper
To this day, technicians industry-wide have apprehensions about Secured Gateway (or SGW). Fears like:
“SGW causes limited scan tool functionality” and, “We need factory-level tooling” are rumors frequently shared.
With today’s connected vehicles, SGW was implemented (On 2018+ FCA vehicles and some 2020+ Nissans) to protect vehicles against infiltration from the outside world.
In 2018, two clever men were able to develop software to wirelessly sabotage (or “hack”) successfully into a 2014 Jeep Cherokee. They did so without any added devices to the vehicle. The hack was carried about by infiltrating the vehicle’s connected infotainment system.
This infiltration allowed the hackers to take over ...

Mastering Diagnostics #13: Voltage Drop- The circuit stress test
Просмотров 9 тыс.Месяц назад
NOTE: The last of the video has glitched and I wish to summarize here. With a failed fuel pump there is no way to verify the circuit is healthy until it functions. A normally functioning pump will spin as designed and produce counter voltage. A slow pump will not produce the counter voltage and can suffer damage to the brushes/commutator from current flow/heat. That would typically mean the pum...

This is usually best accomplished by obtaining driveability data right from the driver’s seat. Utilizing a sc...

    Thank you for the tech tip and nice injector cleaning tool. Like you, I would install new injectors. Ya, I know, "New doesn't mean good!" But I don't like removing something two and three times only to find out there's an internal problem in the part itself. HOWEVER, your injector cleaning tool can be used as a diagnostic test tool to expose even a bad NEW injector.

      @@brandonsteckler3417 Sorry, I meant a list where you don't have to set up an account with them to then discover if your scan tool is eligible IE they list the snap-on models that can be approved or the TopDon or Launch or Autel models that can be registered. From what I can tell the way it currently works is that you set up your account, then you pay and then you can select the tool you have and see if it can even be used with auto-auth to access the vehicle. With all the tools out there these days it would be nice to know if the one you were looking at can really be authorized or not.

    Yup. Seen this before but on the Ford F250/F350 steering column. Ford put the wires up through the selector handle to the OD switch. Where the wires entered the selector handle hole the metal is not smooth, the wires are pulled tight and the wires are not covered/protected. Talk about triple jeopardy, planned obsolescence! So I was able to add some protection to the wires, then I lengthened the wires for less bending and mounted them to eliminate the tight pulling by routing them a little differently. It worked. Never had a comeback. Thank you for this video. If you question the engineering design, the engineers would tell you "We've NEVER had any problems with our design." O course not! But then, they never tested the vehicle for 10 years/150,000 miles, Summer and Winter, humid and dry. If they saw what I did for the repair, "Oh we can't do that!" "That extra wire, plus the 2 cable ties would add at least $1.00 to the wholesale cost of building the vehicle. Added to 10,000 built vehicles, that's lost profit!" But don't worry. We can manufacture "replacement parts" to fix the vehicle for maybe 10 years. UHUH!
