Just another parking lot video taken while diagnosing a 2008 Jeep Patriot with a P0722 DTC Check out my amazon store at: www.amazon.com/shop/voltagedropdiagnostics
Nice job. Very cool for you give credit and the shoutout to ScannerDanner. The man’s been a pioneer in the field and a RUclips legend. Many times I can hear his voice in the back of my mind…. Loaded circuit testing….. it’s like ObiWan speaking to Luke Skywalker. Lol. Sorry to go all weird on you there.
Awesome DeFazio styled video! Very informative and excellent method in a such a small amount of time. Glad to see some content from you! Hope you and the family are well! Looks like you're doing more mobile too! Way to go Pj! 😊🤗👏🏻👍🏻

You could have checked resistance on the sensor and seen if it was an open or short. (also, what is that little scope? Do you have a video on it? I've been looking for a cheap scope, and I don't really want to buy that 2 channel PICO if I don't have to.)
This is a 3 wire Hall effect sensor. So a resistance test wouldn’t have shown you much for this style sensor. As far as the scope, it’s a uscope sold by aeswave.com Me personally? If you don’t have any scope currently I would purchase a multichannel scope first.
@@VoltageDropDiagnostics I think you can jack up one of the rear tires-- put the trans in neutral, and spin that wheel while you're checking the signal side of the sensor (while in vehicle)--- I believe it would work, if it's on the output shaft. Sometimes you can see a bad spot in the signal..... But you already confirmed the wiring was good, so it would be a redundant test really..... I like your test of scratching the test light on and off the signal side-- and confirming signal in the scan tool; I'll have to remember that one.
No BS I go down to a shop to look at a transmission that was just installed. Let me give you the back story because it gets crazy. Customer buys a used f150 that starts having shifting issues. He takes it to a well known transmission shop that replaces a shift siloind (charges $550). Customer leaves and orginal complaint is still present. He takes it to anther transmission shop that tells him the first shop damaged the transmission and to take it back to them (charges 175$). He goes back to the transmission shop that tells him the transmissions needs replaced. To my understanding the customer bought a used transmission and took it to the shop its at now. I was told that the customer said replace the transmission. I have a hard time believing that. I think the shop was asked to look at it and seen 2 well known transmission shops diagnosed a bad transmission. He ends up replacing the transmission ($2500) and the issue still remained. I get the call and with in 30 mins I found the problem. There was a broken wire from the pcm to the shift siloind. The code was a circuit code for a shift siloind. As soon as I seen that I had a feeling someone messed up big time. You can see where both shops probed the wire at the transmission but noone check to see if the wiring was fine from transmission to the pcm. If im not mistaken I think Ford had a issue with the harness melting right where it was bad. I couldn't believe 3 different shops missed it completely especially with it setting a circuit code.
Nice one PJ. I thought this was great. Everything in focus, steps covered, what you expect to see, results of each step. Brilliant. Now just work on some quick mounting solutions for both the camera and equipment for test driving and better composed shots with your hands free when needed. Maybe just tape the uscope to the windscreen. And I'll ad a couple of videos below. You do you. Just like to see you succeed!

Cuba! How have you been? Yeah, a little more mobile where my few skills are a little more appreciated haha
Glad to see you back. 👍👍
Thanks Richard! Feels good to be back!
Great video PJ! Thanks for sharing with us!
Thanks as always Angel!
Are you going to be at super Saturday or ASTE this year?
Good job again PJ. Thanks for posting food for the brain, take care.
Good work. Keep us posted on the outcome
Yeah, they ended up replacing the sensor and the car was fixed! Thanks for watching!
Great job PJ!
Thanks Dave! Thanks for stopping by!
Great video, buddy!
🤜🤛
Can you please tell me where to find the TCM on this vehicle? Search results are confusing
Awesome

So.. what fixed this issue?

did you ever find out why the tcm was replaced?
I didn't think to ask when I last talked to them. For all I know, it could've been replaced for a completely different issue on this one.

Obviously something with a magnetic base would be brilliant for automotive shooting.
All the best
