  • What? A broken Toyota?! Can't be!
    Well this 2009 Corolla has a respectable 190k on the odometer, and recently the transmission started acting up, not shifting into high gear on the highway.
    The Check Engine light is on, and the computer has flagged a P0977 trouble code.
    Join me on this fun diagnosis, as well as the repair in Part 2!
    Enjoy!
    Ivan

    Good diag Ivan. I hate it when crap snaps like that coolant nipple.. Too much breakable plastic these days. Cheers :)

    • @PineHollowAutoDiagnostics
      @PineHollowAutoDiagnostics  8 лет назад +6

      Yeah I was like why is there liquid running down my arm?? That plastic was so brittle, the remains of the nipple came out in 5 pieces!

      Had the same thing happen on a '00 Silverado 1500 heater hose connection a while back. Was so pissed! Took me 15 minutes just to fish all the busted pieces out of the hose - must've been in 30 pieces! I had some choice words for GM engineers that day. GRRR!!

    Ivan great video! plastic nipple or metal nipple, would of broke anyways. With plastic it gets brittle and with metal pipe coolant gets acidic and rusts and leaks as you know. Nature of the beast and made in China. keep up the fantastic videos!

    Hey nice diag once again. That battery post and that trans connector sure looked like a smurf took a dump on it, big pile of blue crap. Man, that sure sucked about that plastic piece of garbage snapping off, I hate cheap plastic crap on cars. Also, what Autel model scan tool were you using in this video, it seemed to support quite a bit of bi directional controls. I own a snap on ethos+ that does not do anywhere near close to what your Autel scan tool can do. Thanks for the good video.

    • @PineHollowAutoDiagnostics
      @PineHollowAutoDiagnostics  8 лет назад +1

      It's the older MaxiDas DS708, my first "real" scanner. It's still my go-to for quick scans and tests just because it is so fast and coverage is very good.

    • @figibloom
      @figibloom 8 лет назад +1

      Wow I am going to have to get me one of those. I think Harbor Freight of all places sells those. I think they sell it for around 800.00 and then you use one of there 20-25% off coupons. Man my Snap-on Ethos cost double that price and does not do half of what that Autel will do. Unless this is not the same scanner as yours but I believe it is.
      www.harborfreight.com/autel-maxidas-automotive-diagnostic-and-analysis-system-62385.html
      Anyway thanks for the info, I am off to watch your part 2 you just posted. Take care.

    • @SmittySmithsonite
      @SmittySmithsonite 8 лет назад +1

      Autel makes some great stuff. I just picked up the Maxisys MS906TS this summer. Big price tag, but the thing is amazing. Even has a TPMS programming tool built in. Cost just about 1/10th of what Snap-On wants for the Verus. Got it at JB Tool sales online. Cheapest price I could find. That said, I think they sent me a global unit instead of a USA unit - they are different. I've got a bunch of models in the list I've never heard of - all sold overseas.
      I'm not what you'd call "tech savvy", so I got a kick out of being able to connect to the internet with the scan tool out in my barn. Saves me a trip inside to look stuff up. WiFi signal is pretty weak out there, so sometimes it's quicker to just run inside and use the desktop. People tell me it's like a tablet. I've never owned one (probably haven't ever seen one, LOL) so I couldn't tell you there.

  • @zoidberg444
    @zoidberg444 8 лет назад +1

    Damn. On the upside if it was that brittle going over a large bump probably would have bust it and caused the car to dump all its coolant. You probably just saved that customer from getting stranded and maybe even an engine overheat. I actually work with a guy who has fabricated new metal joints for me when i've bust this plastic crap. He's a wizz with the tig welder and some tube and fittings.

  • @SteveRobReviews
    @SteveRobReviews 8 лет назад +1

    Nice one. Ivan without knowing a pull up or down design the voltage high and low codes always confuse me. LOL

    • @chiefeaglebear2320
      @chiefeaglebear2320 8 лет назад

      Well pull up and pull down only denote how the circuit is used to operate when you have high or low codes it tells you if your haveing a ground problem or a power problem a power problem would set a low voltage code a bad ground problem or high resistance would set a voltage high code so you kind of have an idea of why that cicuit caused the ECM to tattle on it am I right Ivan THE MAN! Lol happy new year

    • @SteveRobReviews
      @SteveRobReviews 8 лет назад

      chiefeaglebear I hope your right because i'm thinking in my brain they can be reversed depending on either a pull up or down, LOL

    • @chiefeaglebear2320
      @chiefeaglebear2320 8 лет назад +1

      Knowing if it's pull up or pull down should be determined first a high code is a high code a low code is a low code the switching design changes but ohms law doesn't thanks

    Coolant is the worst thing to deal with too. No matter if there is a petcock to aid in drainage or if you bump old plastic and it breaks the shit goes everwhere and it seems no matter how large your catch pan it the coolant finds the floor.

  • @haywardsautomotive6156
    @haywardsautomotive6156 8 лет назад

    Nice video Ivan & I see you got a new laptop or replaced your screen. No matter how careful you are it's so easy to break stuff trying to get down into tight places and if you try to take it apart the same applies...just part of the job.

    • @PineHollowAutoDiagnostics
      @PineHollowAutoDiagnostics  8 лет назад +4

      The silver lining is that if it broke that easily, then it should be replaced anyways, so in my mind I saved the customer from being stranded somewhere :)

    • @haywardsautomotive6156
      @haywardsautomotive6156 8 лет назад +1

    @willemstreutgers1154 8 лет назад

    Ivan, amazing to see almost all US driven cars with corroded battery poles. How easy is it to get some "Vaseline" and clean and use the vaseline. By the way, that coolant might have leaked some time on the connector too.
    Nice beard man.

  • @gabrielvaldes2448

  • @V10PDTDI
    @V10PDTDI 8 лет назад

    Do you know if the valve body is under the transmission or on the front if it's on front it not fun the transmission should be a ASIN right I know on older Volkswagen MK4 there was a five speed model it was a Japanese built transmission and the oil pan was towards the front of the car it was a pain in the butt to get accès I had to remouve the front end but you might be lucky that the pan could be under great time to change the oil and filter .

    • @V10PDTDI
      @V10PDTDI 8 лет назад

      Hi I did some searching on u tube and it looks like the oil pan is under the transmission so I think it's going to be easy but the question can you buy the solenoid separately at the Toyota dealership?

  • @bbogdanmircea

      I believe 3D printers will become standard equipment in repair shops in the very near future. Keep a close eye on companies like Dorman (as much as I hate their parts) I think as an investment there will money to be made.

  • @deelee3462
    @deelee3462 7 лет назад

    Hello Can you explain how you got 5.96 (4:47) and the on paper you wrote 2.4 Ohms. ( 8:38) For S2. Also was the measurements back-probed at the Trans Wire going to the Trans or at the ECU/TCM?

    • @PineHollowAutoDiagnostics
      @PineHollowAutoDiagnostics  7 лет назад

      Temperature might have been different... Regardless, the measurement indicates "open circuit" in the solenoid.

    • @deelee3462
      @deelee3462 7 лет назад

      Thanks for the reply. I do wonder what type of effect temperature has on resistance of solenoids. Most literature values are set for 20deg Celsius? I wonder if it was working half the time. So sometimes its open sometimes its not hence the 2 different readings. Also were you back probing on the Trans Wire exclusively (inside the transmission leading strait to the solenoids) . Or from the Wire Harness which connects to the transmission wire and the ECM/TCM?

    • @deelee3462
      @deelee3462 7 лет назад

      Also I have this issue with a 06 Lexus IS250 RWD A960E Sealed Trans ( recently swapped from a is250 08) W/ P0977 CEL code is intermittent. All gears shift and I am not stuck on safety limp home mode) Also it seems like i have a slow acceleration during the mornings and it gets better as it warms up. Iv Back probed my ECM to the specificed S2 Solenoid. They all seemed within range. I hope i dont have to drop the pan and change out the solenoid As this trans was just swapped but i do have my old trans and i think those solenoids were good as is the transwire.

  • @HUBBABUBBADOOPYDOOP
    @HUBBABUBBADOOPYDOOP 8 лет назад +1

    Great work, Ivan! This is perfect example of "Cascade Failure" (one fault causing/related to another). Hot coolant & time make stuff brittle- aluminum, brass, and plastic all eventually fail. Rock Auto has the S2 Shift solenoid for $103.79 Holy Crap. As for that coolant connection- CariD has it, even though it's Dorman, it looks good. www.carid.com/2009-toyota-corolla-engine-cooling-parts/dorman-coolant-pipe-34099680.html Happy Friday 13

I knew it was valve related, due to the hollow sound, and slow cadence of it as it idled at 1,200 rpm. I just got the rear valve cover off, and lifted the #1 exhaust rocker right out - no tools needed, LOL! Yanked the threads right out! That was a new one for me ...

    • @SmittySmithsonite
      @SmittySmithsonite 8 лет назад

      I live in Massachusetts, USA, and I was in the same boat until I discovered Ivan, and several others here on RUclips. Seemed like everything was this big secret. I HATED OBD-II vehicles until I started watching all these guys. It wasn't easy at all trying to find this info - I watched hours and hours of video to learn about resources that were either free, or in my low price range. Wasn't right there for me to grab - took alot of work!
      I had DSL internet prior to summer of '15, so watching videos for more than 2 minutes was an exercise in anger management: watch 30 seconds .... pause, wait for it to load .... watch 15 seconds ... wait some more ... rinse, repeat. Anything more than 360p would freeze up. Getting cable internet was the best thing I ever did. Opened up a whole new world. Got a good handle on these things now, plus I just bought ScannerDanner's book - best $100 I've ever spent.
