    SERVICE MAN: I´m not happy to say it, but ilt looks like your ECU is faulty. And yes, MAF sensor was faulty, it had to be replaced anyway. New ECU is very expensive, i dont think you want to have it replaced, so you can pick up your car, its 200 for MAF and 100 for labor.

    @jeffco908 6 месяцев назад

    Does it not have actual vs calculated data pid for maf sensor? In GM vehicles it does. In earlier GM E85 trucks they often differ by around 2 g/s and will never set a maf code but will start to calculate the alcohol content in the fuel as being higher. When that happens you eventually get rich codes due to adding more fuel as per alcohol content calculated by ECM. Without those comparisons to look at would be impossible to diagnose. So would surprise me if all you have is calculated or substituted value in data list without actual maf reading. Maybe a Hyundai thing lol. Enjoy your humor though.

    As a half joke/half talking point, I genuinely have a "Case Of Beer" line item in my invoicing software for those little annoyances like low fuel or mountains of personal belongings right where I need to be. I don't get to use it often, but it's fun to watch the hamster fall off the wheel when I do. "Yeah, that's for bringing me a car with no fuel and a driveability complaint, ya pool noodle..."

    That is amazing! Who would have thought that in generic scan mode you could see actual live data from the sensor not what the computer is compensating.

    I always find it interesting that a lot of the times the very same day as something like this is posted, I get faced with the issue. 2018 E450 6.8L gas obviously with a easy to see miss. (not using a cheap scanner) check engine light on shows random misfire, nothing specific... live data, misfire counter..ALL ZERO's.... engine still shaking... generic OBDII and guess what.... misfire on #4. quick fix...Thanks for waking some of us up from time to time!!!

    About the fuel: In my country (in the past) some mechanics used to drain your petrol and said "we did some long test rides to solve your issue". Sadly, after 20-30 years of that there are still people bringing their vehicle always with minimal petrol in tank. It is a bad reflex. Maybe your customer had a similar issue in the past with another mechanic and that's why the tank was almost empty. Sometimes you can't do anything against bad reflexes. Anyway, the video is very informartive Dan, thanks for sharing it. I learned pretty much from your videos and as a "repair my cars and bikes for myself" person I developed a lot!

      Taking fuel from a customers car is unacceptable, customers dont have to bring the car in with a full tank either but a bit more than fumes would be appreciated 🤣🤣

    Nice work mate,
    100% always gotta fall back on that when in doubt, especially with older vehicles. Love it 💪
    Funny how I was working on a 2008 Tucson today with a 2.7 V6 engine light on and no running issues.
    Fuel trim and misfire codes stored, except in my case the AFM was replaced incorrectly at another workshop and the faults persisted. I smoke tested it and found a leak on the butterfly shaft of the throttle body. You never know what you might find on any given day.
    Keep up the great work and I'll see ya over this side soon 👌💪👏⌚🔜

    Hey Dan! Great catch with OEM vs Generic scan data 😊
    One of my customers has a 2006 Hyundai Tucson V6. It had a "lean" condition and the diagnosis showed the mass air sensor wasn't reporting enough air! I unplugged it and car runs beautifully... He's been driving it like that for over a year now, no problem at all 😆👌

      Ha ha 😂 No parts required💪 I guess he doesn't mind the check engine light😁

    In my experience these kind of issues (questionable live data and in some cases incorrect fault code information) is what you get with an aftermarket scan tools unfortunately. Have worked both independ and as a service rep for an oem. These issues exist also with the original dealer scan tools but they usually gets these bugs fixes as long as they are caught when the product in question is in the warranty period 😂 For aftermarket scan tools the feedback loop through technical support, trainings and angry dealer service managers asking for policy or goodwill is just not there in the same sense

    Great case study. On how factory live data can lie to you, and global by law has to display accurate info.
