Hi Darren, Nice channel you have. Many of the tips and tricks you show, I learned during VAG dealer training sessions in the past. It's great that I can refresh all of it here. Keep it up! Thanks for the content
Good thing Bernie released bullet proof diagnostics strategies on how to spot bad networks in seconds. We know they talk and a wiring diagram helps identify isolation vs in line data which very helpful in diagnosis.
@@thesmartguy3523 I must be asleep lol but what he shared is gold for quick diagnostic directions as far as CAN goes. I don't count the other training videos that is not hosted by himself lol.
I understand from this video that you offer courses on automotive networks. Stupid question: How can you do that without coming into conflict with the car manufacturers? An example is the well-protected sequence to overcome the gateway on the OBD. But otherwise I find you to be a competent teacher👍
The secure gateway is a feature of a diagnostics tools. Many can over come this now. All of my cars it’s not a problem. And if you do indeed have a serious CAN fault, once confirmed it’s time to put the scan tool away and use other diagnostic methods 👍
Hello dear instructor, I have a can low fault in my vehicle. The power steering pump is short-circuiting to the can low person. When I measure it with a multi meter, it shows the value. The vehicle Opel Zafira B case. What can I do? I should unplug all the control units one by one and check again.
@@MechanicMindset how does PicoTech control that feature? Do the Automotive version come with different software? Do you know where else I might get access to wave forms for BMWs? M62 engine. Thanks for the videos. Will like all of them and comment for algorithm.
@@OilBaron100 Hardware and software. You need the scope to access but the software is free. You can try Rotkee.com, the Ditex website. There are also some helpful Facebook groups for waveforms. Thanks!

Interesting CAn Analysis darren.i love it

Where can I access the "bulletproof diagnostic strategies" by Bernie Thompson
@@thesmartguy3523 lol, hist second last video. You have probably watched it already 😅
@@scientist100 well I did watch it but I thought there was an even better method.
P.S - it's the 4th last video

I saw that; mammoth amount of info! 👌
Excellent information. Thanks

I'm having trouble inverting on my pico 2205a could you make video on this problem or make suggestion
Thanks.
Glad my car was made in 1989 and not all complicated.
Ah, the best era. What is it?
@@MechanicMindset 1989 Pontiac Firebird Trans-am GTA. I've owned it 25 years now
@@ShawnStafford-1978 Nice 😎 I’m more of a Euro man; love my BMW E30s, sold them all when they were rock bottom 😖
@@MechanicMindset I'm from USA. BMW is not a common vehicle here, like a Firebird Trans-am there. If you know what I mean.
Please I want to know how to use it waveforme library at pico 2204a softw 7
The waveform library is only accessible with the Automotive Oscilloscope 👍
@@MechanicMindsetdo you mean the waveform library is only available for more expensive PicoScope units?
@@OilBaron100 Yes, but only the ‘Automotive’ versions.
@@MechanicMindset how does PicoTech control that feature? Do the Automotive version come with different software?
Do you know where else I might get access to wave forms for BMWs? M62 engine.

Hi Darren how much is an auto data subscription in the UK
Sorry not sure, I don’t have it
Did you mean ALLDATA if so I'd like to know how much it costs as there's no information on the linked site just the option for a free trial
Ok so what service do you use
Thanks Darren keep up with your great work 👍
