@@daveshostack4950 Sorry I am in Pennsylvania. Hope you have a great day Dave.
I have a 2003 durango with a 5.9l with a po455 code I did a fuel pump so what scan tool should I use to check the system of the evap help
¹100
Can it scan how corrupt a manufacturer or dealership is?
Lmfao😂😂😂😂
All Dealerships are corrupt
Good one! That'd be nice.
😂😂
@@ragheadand420roll 😢😮 Can only be repaired and Serviced with the Infinity Glove, With All of the Stones! 🎯💖😈🆗🧐
I have this scanner and it’s the most important tool in our shop. It combines hundreds of softwares into one device. Absolute gem.
will this scan tool tell if i got a bad widow motor or bad switch ???????????/
@@jamesbrayall8288 sure, you can activate any switch to check if it’s a fault of the physical button or the motor/wires, you can then see the electrical values of the motor to confirm. This particular model though is an overkill for DIYers, if you’re a diyer and planning to just do diagnostics go with the mk808, it’s %15th the price of this one.
@@jamesbrayall8288Probably not. In this case you if you don't hear any noise coming from the door panel then yes probably switch, if you do hear something engage/sound when you press the switch from the door panel then it's the motor. To Diag the switch replace with another door panel switch if you can and try that. Or you can go down the rabbit hole and completely disassemble the switch itself and see if it's burnt or if you can make it work again by creating contact points work again. I've done some stuff
I have a 2011 Civic sedan 1.8L auto. I have towed a 2004 dodge stratus with it a couple hundred miles. I have towed my small trailer with UpTo 1600lbs on it for many miles. I have always changed transmission fluid at every 30k miles. The car now has over 260k miles with no issues whatsoever. It drives and shifts like new.
Our 2006 Honda CRV battery was small but lasted 10 years!!
We miss that car.
Yea, in 2021 I replaced the battery in my ex wife's 09 honda fit 5 spd sport, it was expensive for a tiny battery, but the battery was original, with like 185k miles, 12 yes old
With Honda’s manufactured in Canada, they typically put the small batteries in their units sold in the US. Just replace with the larger Canadian battery for cold climates. It’s larger, more CCA’s and will last twice as long as the crappy batteries that come with the unit.
For the cost of the Trailer Rental (about $700) and extra gas for 2700 miles (about $300) he could have shipped 8 50 pound boxes FEDex ground or UPS ground for less, and would not have risked burning out his transmission.
I rented a U-Haul with a car trailer, rather than wear out my car for a trio that long.
You'd never hurt a small honda towing a small trailer
@@elultimo102 Same here... I have made a couple of cross country moves and I rented the large Penske trucks with a car trailer and my wife followed behind in the other car.
Our vehicles never ran the same after long trips, so we had our vehicles transported when we could afford it. It’s expensive but worth it if the vehicle is new
@@ArnoldZiffle-jw2mv if your cars and trucks cant handle a long trip tou have a problem with them....and what kind of cars can't handle a long trip??
Scottys laugh is GOLD
Honda has used the 51r battery forever. Good news is they are cheap at Costco.
Thanks
A small battery also requires less alternator capacity, meaning more weight savings and less parasitic engine drag. Battery only really has to start the car, tho if you like playing the radio more capacity helps.
I remember having to drive a company owned semi that was limited to 57mph; they turned them up a little after so many drivers quit. Many I had were limited to 64 mph. So I and many others have driven across the country actually averaging less than 55.
Hope you were paid by the hour!
@@karyannfontaine8757 Nope, they pay by the mile. Rand-McNally miles, not actual miles, so you usually get cut short.
@@bikecommuter24 Oh Yeah, they were about the only trucks I could pass!
I always thought the company was paradoxically named.
I think it was Arizona that sued them and made them speed up a little.
@@debluetailflyIt was Arizona, which is also home to SWIFT headquarters.
@@dmphillips legal weed...motorcycles can split lanes & now this...as a Tucson resident I'm pleasantly surprised
"Just look at ALL THIS DATA... Hahahaha". You make me laugh, Scotty!!
That scanner is really sweeeeet.
I was looking to buy a mid priced autel scan tool, compared to the other ones it was reasonably priced that was until I read how much it cost for the subscription and updates, it was the same price per year for the subscription as it was for the scanner, to buy one just for your own personal use on your own car it’s just not feasible to justify and all I was wanting to do was reset the tpms, ah well back to the mechanic
It would be nice to have a full review that includes the added costs of updates/subscriptions an 8wner will be stuck with.
My INNOVA 5610 doesn't update thru its app but does cover the needs of my 2005-06 Tundra well enough other than resetting TPMS.
I bought a quality air pressure 120 psi gauge for my E Rated 10 plies.
Only need to check em before long trips and they haven't lost more than 3-5 lbs once yet in 4 years.
Not a difficult task for most anyone.
Yeah harbor freight has a nice one for $1000. $500 a year after the first year tho AFAIK you only need updates for newer cars? Cant you just download all manufacturers the first year, then no updates needed unless the car is newer than 2023?
ThinkOBD 100......
For $4000, that scanner should do all that AND bring you a coffee.
The Snap Ons are $12,000
Expensive so us normal folk can't afford it
It should wipe me to.
@@coloradoboo1071 I was gonna say compared to the tool truck scanners that Autel’s a bargain
For $4k it should fix your car!
I knew someone who towed a large double axle U-Haul trailer with a Chevy Vega back in the 1970's. Top speed while towing it was 35 mph. He towed it from Chicago to Washington D.C. The car didn't run very well after that. His mechanic said, "It's terminal."
hahahaha. yep.
Bent pistons probably haha
They said it was terminal before he left who are we kidding😳😳🙄😎😎🤣🤣
Vega got an engine of 2300c.c.!
@@Dilberts_Dogbert With a Vega, having a terminal engine is normal.
You can buy a Launch scan tool plus a good oscilloscope for about $1500 and do everything that MaxSys can do, plus more.
I'm sold lolol
I did towing accross country with my 2013 Toyota prius and I did it going 70-80mph most the way. Uhal trailer maxed out. Multiple times from NC to Colorado, and from Florida to colorado. She did very well! I miss my car :( Cop totalled it
One of the very few port injected engines left out there. And the valves are adjustable if you need to.
Good car. We love our Hondas👍
So many people leaving cali! But usually not to NY! Heck even people are leaving NY lately
Scotty is the mechanic g.o.a.t! 🐐👏🏻
Not a car for towing. Problems with show up later on.
That's the nicest you've been about new Hondas FINALLY!
i know most part stores will loan out code reader for free if you ask long enough to rest your codes
What the name and model of scanner??
Autel is good, but the LAUNCH scanners are the best. More than +110 global vehicle assemblers and 14 online programming... Help me a lot with my job and my repair shop's
Just found your channel. It’s awesome! Do you have any videos on how completely insane Honda is when it comes to the alternator only charging the battery when the CPU thinks it needs to?
I like these in black. I think they look very nice.
The company that makes your new scanner Autel.. I think is the same company that's making, battery-operated, remote-controlled, flying quad copter drones.
And seeing that your scanner also has a waveform generator and an oscilloscope. Makes me also think. They've adapted this gizmo. From a recording studio/radio station, equipment alignment device. It's what I used to use with, good old-fashioned, American-made, tape recorders. By Ampex, 3M, Scully and MCI. Which was later bought out by Sony. I used to live 600 feet from. In Ft. Lauderdale. Aunt declined their offer and an offer from Ampex. To go to work forr,, Scully. Only 3M didn't offer me a job. What do they know? I was one of the besst. Just like you Scotty! I knew my way around a tape recorder, transport. And knew how to make the audio electronics, even better. And some of my machines from 1979 are still going. I was informed of in recent times. As they sent me pictures of my test data sheets with my signature on them. Yup! Cooll! I built them real good. So they would keep on going like the Energizer Bunny. And was great fun and my honor to make them, better. Of course that was after the Beach Boys stopped, Making records. And Jimi Hendrix died. And Tommy James got away from the Mafia. A lot of folks used, Scully's.
And so that looks like one incredible scanner. For someone with a late model car. I can't imagine it has much to read on,, earlier year models? Like my 2003,, Ford, E-150 or the 2007, Honda CRV. And since I'm not a mechanic. I will opt for the recording studio tester version. As I'm sure it's just that thing but much much less. As it's not going to test, your computer. If it's making a couple of lousy audio measurements. Or testing the integrity of a, composite and/or component, digital video signals? This company is in that business. And makes some flying drones for recreational and industrial use.
And apparently they are also a Chinese company like DJI.. But they are run by Americans or something like that? And apparently not as big a threat as DJI may be? But I digress.
Love your channel Scotty! K-Keep on keeping on! Step-by-step. Niagara Falls! Woo wwoo woo!

Bearing friction ...(crude estimate) each 100lbs can cause LOSS of ~1 m.p.g.
Electronic parking brakes are about as smart to have on a car as electron shifters are. Good luck if you dont' have power and need to tow your car and need to disengage parking brake and get the transmission into neutral.. Because it doesn't have any power. Some models do have a manueal lever in the truck for the parking brake, but for the transmission you gotta get the jack out and get under the car usually to get in neutral. Just another couple things to break and cause you problems
The significant fact about the Honda owner is that he left California. California is a great place to live, what ruins the state are the emotion based politicians that are in power.
Scotty laughing and scrolling through the data ! 😂
As a driver. I do not need to know if my but warmer module or seat adjustment relay is going out. I miss the days when cars were cars. And a weekend turning wrinches to fix these problem we as simple as going to your local auto zone. Pick up a simple part. And replacing. Gone are the days of a simple car. I miss my honda accord 1994.
Interesting, as always, but now get rid of those roof bars and save more.
Autel make a good unit..if you can find an older model that has not been updated those will do things only factory models do.....
Surprised U haul allowed him to pull a trailer with a Civic. Recently hauled a 6x12 trailer from Florida to PA, but with my 2004 Sequoia.
Hey Scotty, I hear Ivan at Pine Hollow is giving a class on diagnosing cars. You interested?
Scotty said one absolute truth here ...... getting cars repaired properly is getting bleak.
Yeah, like the govt, trust in their work is diminishing daily despite the increasing cost.
Scotty, do you have a video, with your opinion, about putting an EMP shield on your vehicle, if not, would you make one.
Launch X-431 euro Tab 111 is the best out there now
I've sent in several comments asking about my 2014 Yaris and why do I get a small shake when stopped at a red light while in drive and no shake when I put it in neutral.
I'm a huge fan of you but not answering my question is starting to get to me.
What kind of AUTEL scanner are you using in the video? Model Number? Thx - Another great Vid.
Why don't these scan tools group all the "trouble" at the top so you don't have to finger through the list? Why can't they detect if you now have a new battery and ignore lodging a code based on your old situation?
Who in their right mind would move to Brooklyn!? Oh wait. Someone from California. 😂
First thought I had.
I’m from California, family in Manhattan and queens.. love em to pieces
But moving to New York from California is brain dead. Maybe I’m biased but if I gotta live In a political hell hole id rather it be enjoyable like California. NYC is just brake dust and misery when you really sit and think about it.
There’s beautiful parts of NY… but If I’m moving out of Cali id rather move to many of the other eastern coastal states… or Mexico… I need to fish in the ocean haha
Hey Scotty, what a good consumer OBD2 scanner any recommendations?
The sensor is at 4:00 approximately
If there is any way i can modify to fit it in I just use the biggest marine battery from Walmart on all my cars. They last a long time.
MR. Kilmer I have a question about that surely scanner Can that computer scanner help program abs or any kind of automotive modules or what do you recommend for something like that I’m new to the automotive industry.
So is this better than the xtool x8? I believe the x8 now has topology view
I have an xtool D8, with the new updated topology firmware. The D8 does almost everything that High price junk does, and for the price it it is unbeatable. These scan tools are like cell phones every year they get more intelligent. When AI starts to be introduced into these things it is going to be the real game changer.
@@edelmiroacostajr4715Do you know how to program keys with key start? Or must the car have an existing key with the key start? My main key doesn’t have key start but bought one off ebay thinking I could just program it.
Scotty, you could probably hook that scan tool to your chest, set it to the wave pattern and perform your own EKG.
is there a cheap one that will do up to 2004 discovery 1&2 diesel codes? I believe they are a little non standard
Xtool D7 Dozer awesome job too
Otofix d1 lite better
Which scan tool are you talking about at the 7:35 mark?
why would u move from california to BROOKLYN of all places, lord have mercy
Scotty: "I'm still going thru the data your car is producing... your car is not ready"
That roof rack also helped to kill the gas mileage.
Autel - Drones and automotive diagnosis. Perfect combo eh. Btw, these are good on diesel engines too, aren't they?
my cell phone can do most of this to my jeep with a bluetooth obd2 reader and a $30 app lol
Great scanner Scotty but will it give you bi directional control on a 1992 celica if not it's trash...
What is a good bidirectional scanner for gm without breaking the bank? Specifically 2005 chevy colorado truck is starting to sound off at idle and rpm fluctuates at low speed cruise control. Now traction fault on dash.
they should make a scan tool that not only tells you what the problem is, but how to fix it. It should go into such detail that a hologram of your car would appear on the screen, and a detailed close up, perhaps using a red x on the hologram to show where the bad part is located. Many times, it's a sensor and a simple replacement by a human with an IQ of over 50 can replace it. other times, it's in the internals of the engine, and that really sucks. set fire to the house, its easier to deal with. LOL
OK, we laugh but it's doable for price. It would involve a thing called four wire monitoring of all sensors and actuators, then a scan tool could tell you if it was a circuit fault or a sensor/actuator fault. Now I just want to start a shop and call it Obi-Wan (or Juan, depending on who you hire) Kenobi "Because we're your only hope."
As AI progresses it will likely be affordable to do that.
That would be so cool
Who makes the best CVT? Subaru, Honda some other?
Can it automatically make you pass a smog check?
Its $4,500. Im looking to spend about a tenth of that. Am I limited to simple obd2 scanners that just give you check engine light codes? i have a honda, would I be better off with one of those HDS emulators on ebay for $100 that use pirated HDS software? Fixing anything on a honda seems to require HDS and honda wants a bundle for it.
Scotty my wife doesn't have an OBD port. How do I analyze her performance issues?
Junk it. It’s cheaper 😜
😆 🤣 😂 l ve tried all the ports on my wife and mostly they piss her off.
You obviously haven't found the security button, check the manual😳😳😎🤣🤣🤣
Can u give more info on your new scanner,pros and conns
I bought the Autel ms906 with all the adapters. However even with the adapters, the scanner will not read anything before 1996 obd2! I have a 1990 obd1 Gm c1500 truck. How can I make it work to use this bidirectional scanner to do what I bought it for. Any advice will help since AUTEL basically just told me I am screwed. Please help!
I bought an old, used OBD1 scanner off of eBay, Actron CP9185. It works great, reading my 94 Ciera 3.1liter, and my landlord’s 94 Chevy Silverado 5.7liter TBI. Though both are 1994s, the Chevy truck uses the old OBD1 codes, that are two numbers, first code blinks the check engine light 3 times, blinking 1, 1-2, 1, 1-2, 1, 1-2 for code 12, meaning it’s talking to the computer ok. If any other codes are stored, they’ll blink next. Meanwhile, the OBD1.5, as it’s called, is an OBD1 connector, but sends OBDII codes, P0320, for example, the cat converter code.
I get the impression Scotty is enjoying hmself, too much fun.
what is the best scan tool for a DIY for BMW's? And it should to other cars as well. Willing to pay for extra car modules if it makes economic sense ie, do that rather than get a big $ pro tool
For a $4,399 scan tool, you could buy a car.
Ha ha.. for $4400 you can buy my car 4 times..
maybe 3 years ago, now the only car you can get for 4k is a literal "for parts" piece of junk from the 90s.
My scan tool is AutoZone
@@thingsnbits Nah you just need to learn where to look. Scotty already made a video.
Friends, Family, Neighbors, Coworkers, etc are the best people to buy a used car from for cheap
Maybe the sales tax😂
my work phone has alot of app pictures that don't do nothing when you push them.
What about Diesel trucks' encumbrance mpg?
Scotty, have you reviewed FIXD Sensor/App yet?
Scotty, that scanner ain’t cheap. I found prices around $3000. There is a cheaper model, around $400-500. Is that the one you’re recommending for us shade tree mechanics?
Seems like a great tool, but Autel Intelligent Tech Corp is a Chinese company so I can't in good conscience support them. I'll stick with my Bosch engineered and assembled in the USA 🇺🇸 (I know Bosch is German but their scan tools are US made)
Does this work on a 2007 prius and how much does it cost for the yearly updates
I don't know why Scotty was surprised by what the scan tool could do/provide
Well for $4,000 it will blow you away either way. Lol insert scotty kilmer laugh.
Scotty, is my thinkobd 100 still any good? or should I buy a new one? If so, which one?
Hahaha Scotty you sound like a kid with a shiny new toy I love it. That is one fancy scan tool!!
You should point out, how right the guy was by doing 55mph. I told an employee on a trip from Canada to Florida not to exceed 100kilo per hour/60 mph, while pulling a trailer with a minivan. I would wake up from a nap and he would be doing 140. Had to change the motor when I got back and the tranny went soon after. You can pull a heavy trailer by taking it easy, but you will kill the vehicle and leave yourself stranded if you push it hard.
Transporting 100 kilos! Be careful around people like that. Possible danger.
A few years ago the speed limit was 55
I have a 2012 civic. I’m only getting 23 mpg.
could you tell us the exact name model and price of that scanner
Scottie, I go to auctions to buy cars. Can you tell me what scanner will just simply tell me if the car is good or bad? Or, is it just safe to assume they're all bad? 😆 (zebra laugh)
Scotty Kilmer slowly becoming Ice King from Adventure Time
Is it sealed transmission to check the fluid or it doesn’t ?
Is it just me or is Scotty considerably more giddy than usual in this video? 😂
I remember I had this car and in the manual it was rated for like 800lbs load capacity, lol I thought that was too funny considering that's like 4-5 adults with no luggage. Got rid of it when the time came but definitely weak on that cvt
And don't get me started on reversing up a steep driveways( at least my mother n sisters newer accord) you gotta do it a certain way or rev it up. Doesn't compare to a 4 gear transmission in reverse it just eats up the steep driveway in comparison. Other than that, the cars are great commuters.
When the time came? Ita still not even time to sell that...its not old.
How’s things out in the valley ?
Is Fixd a good scanner?
18 miles a gallon while towing is not bad most trucks get 17 miles per gallon and that’s without towing imagine with towing probably less than 14 or 12 miles
California to Brooklyn? No wonder Brooklyn is shot and NOTHING as I remember growing up there throughout the 70's/80's.
No, what would change things is if the manufacturers put a code display in the computer that is in every car.
I started new garage.could you please suggest me a car diagonostic tool that all in one device for my garage business without key function.
I have a 2012 si someone hacked my ecu ????
What would you recommend?
Scotty does this obd scanner tell a person if the tire sensors are bad?
Nope no drain plug on a diesel transmission the pan has to come off. Then, replace the filter, and new seal for the pan. Make sure not to go to a quick change of any kind. They have kids doing the job, and they will not do the job right. ALWAYS go to someone you would definitely trust on your diesel.
Looking for a scan tool with free lifetime updates. Foxwell NT726 says free for life. Scam or not. Maybe you can do a video on it if you didn't already.Thx
I had a CVT Civic. The owners manual says you can't tow with it, or it voids the warranty. So if the dealer sees the hitch, it won't cover a drivetrain warranty repair.
exactly. and there is a good reason why you can't tow with cvt
