    Scotty I was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer in Jan. 2021 so money got tight and time definatly got short. I've building and working on my cars for over 40 years. This new age of computer cars is overwhelming and then I found you. Thank you car God. You have helped me out over a dozen times so far and with time being of the essence I want to thank you. I have to say you make life alot easier and I've never failed with the school of scotty. 2 thumbs up!!

    Scotty - you are credit to "honesty" and sadly you don't see that much in people anymore. I have a State-Registered Animal Care & Rescue (non-profit) using a 2000 Ford van with 275,000 miles, that I have to keep running and on the road safely. I can't tell you how many times I've been ripped off by mechanics in the past working on it, or shall I say, suspected I was ripped off by a mechanic for hundreds of dollars in what seems like such a simple repair. With the CRP123 scanner you recommended I can at least feel confident that I am paying for what the problem really was. Thanks for the "honesty" about how to identify and possibly fix an ABS problem. Keep up the great videos - I am recommending your stuff.

    There's a RUclips mechanic that says he charges $180/hour for any work done on/with a car. Just reading a check-engine code is $180. Even if the light is on because of a low battery, it's $180 just for him to tell you that. Comparing the cost of the tool to mechanics like that is no contest; tool wins. Makes me really appreciate all the information Scotty shares. Thanks Scotty.

      Auto Zone or any box auto parts store can check your auto CHECK ENGINE LIGHT for free. Take that $180 & buy a
      cheap scan tool, such as this one. You can even split the cost with relatives, saving them time & money, too.

    Please don't laugh at me, I'm just helping out a friend that made the mistake of purchasing a 2014 Nissan Sentra sv. Will to his surprise, He is crying because the ABS light just want go away. I don't have access to a scan tool anymore. Mine was stolen. He is short on funds after replacing the wheel speed sensors. He paid some guy that said he knew what he was doing. long story short. My friend got rept off for a repair that did not fix his ABS issue. Is there an auto parts store that would scan an ABS light for free? Thanks. Love your show. You know your stuff, keep up the good work.

    HI Scotty .
    Im in the process of troubleshooting the several problems on my 2004 Pontiac grand prix GTP. Ive been looking for a supercharged 3800 series 3 car for several years now.
    There weee many problems that i have tackled myself. Like the rear passenger window regulator . Cabin air filter , 3 wheel ABS bearings ,. Ive disassembled the sun roof ot determine that the drivers side track regulator is stripped ,. I will address that problem at a later date .
    What's more important right now is understanding how to tackle the ABS , TRACION CONTROL ,STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEMS.
    The brake fluid is really dirty and there are many leaks on the motor, all due to lack of responsibility to maintain the car . So i know that I my have bought a black hole but I'm the kind of person who likes to learn about things . Learn how to rrpair things . But in order to repair such things ,I must have knowledge of how all these systems work. Before I spend piles of cash on items that I think are the problems.
    I have a good mechanic who I trust to work on my other vehicles but im at the point in life where i want to learn to do the work myself. Is there a really informative book that you might be aware of that you can suggest for me to get ?
    Im at the point of reasoning were why should i spend $1400.00on a new ABS control module when there might be a better diagnosis procedure to follow that might find out exactly what the problem is.
    Im thinking that if I totally dismantle the entire braking system, clean every part inside and out, that that might slove the problem. But we all know that simply cleansing parts doesn't bring them back into factory specifications. They are just worn out and need to be replaced. Now the topic of endless money pitt .
    Do you think that I should just stop this project due to the projected costs ? Or would you suggest that I continue with my plan of attack, to eliminate one problem at a time using logic ?
    I dont like making things into gods . All i wantrd was a reliable, durable engine, and the 3800 V6 is good. And the 4T65E HD tranny isn't really what I wanted but the other option was to get a G8 with the 3.6 VVT and a manual transmission.
    I thank you for all your advice and opinions. I understand what you mean about turbo's,superchargers over stressing engines.
    But it was available for sale and there where 2 other 2007's that were also for sale but allthough cheaper $900. &750. The 900 one had 350000km, and the other had 3 and 4th transmission problems.
    Anyway Scotty i love your channel . Your recent stories about Ford ,Toyota and Honda .
    Im totally dismayed with GM and i cant ever see myself buying another new product from them ever again.

  • @gordiefrie9796

    Recently, my 2009 Toyota Matrix showed the following lights on the panel: ABS - Break, AWD, and VSC OFF (these last ones blinking on and off).
    I took it to my mechanic, and upon hooking up the diagnostics tool it gave him a code referring to the back wheels running at different speeds. I prepared myself to some major repair bills, as it has been typical with this car. He is a honest guy however, and upon inspecting the issue, he told me that upon the sensor were covered with rust, and there was also rust on the casing of such sensors. He told me... "I will clean the sensors. Keep your fingers crossed." Thankfully, once cleaned, the issue was resolved. Lucky me! Avoided another two or three thousand dollars bill like the ones I had last years. The car only has 113K miles. Hardly used. The weather in New England, with all the salt and sand they spread on the roads during the Winter is just not suitable for Toyotas. Next time I buy one, I will have it treated for rust underneath. I am not sure it will help. I got different opinions from different people but, the amount of rust under these cars in New England is just unreal, and the damage it causes to cars is real and expensive to fix.

Take care tell I run into another problem.

    I had a1994 Honda Accord that didn't need these expensive scan tools! Basically you just had to place a small jumper wire link on a small connector under the dashboard then you turned ON the ignition whilst pressing the break peddle down, you then read the flashing code on the dashboard, you look this fault code up and it basically it told you which wheel sensor is not working, simple as that, diagnosed problem in less then 5 minutes at no cost!
