Thankyou for the upload Russ. I work as a technician and very much am winging it and learning as I go. Since finding your channel there is alot more learning, and a lot less winging it 😎
If you give the ecu a little a tap with a tapping hammer above the plugs they normally cut out or start working again if its the ecu 👌 same as how your impact gun cut it of due to the vibration. Great explanation on your diagnosis process as all your videos
Hey buddy. Thanks for the comments, usually when I go to them she's wirring away and I'm ready with an ECU. I've not tried vibrations before on it only heat but I will remember this one thanks 👍😎
@TRUCKTECHUK yes same soon as I hear the ventilation module I'm like yaaay another ecu 😆 pretty sure the day time running lights normally stay on as well. Only just discovered your channel enjoying it so far currently in the process of setting up for going mobile on my own 1st April so now got into watching other people who do so on youtube 😅.
@CRFSMedia I will check the lights next time too. Change 2 ecus a month usually on average. It's happens that often I never film them 😅 I've been on my own now since last July, and being mobile certainly keeps the overheads down. As long as you have a good customer Base you will be fine! If you are doing work for a lot of random, new people as i do....get a card reader like Sum Up. Don't give people an excuse NOT to be able to pay you on the spot! Cash flow is the top priority 👌
Excellent video, thanks for your hard work in doing these uploads. Do you ever get bored of saying "Jaltest from Eclipse Diagnostics"? Haha😅 Had faults like this before which ends up being slightly corroded/loose fitting connector pins, it can put yourself down a rabbit hole easily so I give most plugs a spray off with contact cleaner or contact oil, if appropriate, when taking them off.
Ha ha ha no problem buddy. I started doing these videos to just tell people about faults and stuff. I have a good relationship with Eclipse Diagnostics (jaltest UK) and if I were watching and looking to purchase a kit this is the company I think would have the best experience with customer care-wise. I've been down so many rabbit holes over the years 😵😵😵, it's amazing how stupid little things can mess up the diagnostic process.
@@TRUCKTECHUK yeah excellent at least you get stuck in and try! A lot of people wouldn’t even care to look! Just fob them off with flannel! A real decent technician like yourself tries and takes pride! I’ve just bought one of your test lamps they look decent I’ve never owned one that gives you the voltage aswel just the old ones with the festoon bulbs in them so cheers for that!
Well, the way I see it is I'm paid to give answers.....why doesn't this work? If I can do a quick repair of some sort that's functional I will do it for the customer. I've had the order through thanks, I will get that sent out tomorrow for you buddy 👍 😎 thank you for the order
@@TRUCKTECHUK definitely, I agree with your logic there! Good stuff! If I ever hear anyone needs a good diagnostics guy/mechanic/auto spark I will be sure to send them your way. Appreciate that mate thank you! Top man.
Me neither 😂😂😂😂😂, one minute continuity and variable resistance....I pulled the harness off the bulkhead everything was factory figures and it fired right up 😳🫣. Then I vibrate the ecu and it shuts down
hello, 8.30min the indicators do not show the adblue level, the starters do not start and all errors are displayed, in Poland with such symptoms you pull out the big grey relay and if then the starters start but the car does not start then we already know that PCI needs to be repaired, a very common fault,I like watching your videos, you show a lot of interesting things, I also repair only DAF, I regenerate a lot of parts for these cars myself, and I also sell them all over Europe,
Hi, buddy thank you for the comment and for watching 👀 😎👌 We both knew it needed an ECU but it would have been a short video if I didn't test it for other people to learn 😂😂😂. I don't repair things here although I'd love to start with a hot air station and a hot plate BUT it's all down to time! We have a company here that repairs ecus but they cause lots of problems....they come back with faults that won't go away like unit pump faults 😫. I'd rather buy and program a new ECU with 12 months warranty as it's piece of mind for the customer.....and I don't have to open the ECU 😂😂😂😂 I'm currently after a parts from Pierburg if you know of any suppliers!
you have to try our Polish ecu repair😉cars drive all over Europe😁and it also gives a one year guarantee only the ecu cannot be opened before that, someday I will send you my repair sample, it's great that you work on the jaltest program I also have it and I am very satisfied, but now apparently Launch is also a good tester I am buying it and I will let you know how it works, I have also learned a lot from your videos so continue and I am waiting for the next ones💪
One day I may try although I'd hate for a ecu to get lost in the post 😳😳😳😳🫣🫣🫣🫣 Launch is the same software as topdon apparently....I sent mine back. I did a review on it last year. m.ruclips.net/video/iHboTcs1myQ/видео.html I didn't think it was anywhere near JALTEST! Missing ecus and no real functions not to mention faulty tests. Take care buddy and nice talking to you 😎
Thanks, always good quality videos. Curious what was unusual about the PCI failure mode? This is what i have encountered on all PCI failures, PCI in boot mode with CCV module spinning away over here in the States. Just had two fail this way last week. Not familiar with DAF wiring, but maybe another module had not gone to sleep yet when testing V-CAN2 resistance as seeing readings were going ranging around. Resistance test and view waveform with scope both valid tests.
Hey Steve, thanks for the comment and for watching the video. It usually takes me 10 mins to decide if a PCI ECU has failed. Like you say CCV going and fault codes relating to can time outs from PCI in the other ecus. I thought I'd test it for a change....do a video BUT it was V-CAN 2 that got me. The fault is usually reproducible when the truck gets hot hence why I started warming ECUS with a hot air gun years ago but it was the fact that my impact gun was triggering it this time that I found odd like you say something asleep but then I should have maybe pulled the batteries off to do my resistance test!
@@TRUCKTECHUK Can't remember where I heard it from, but the common failure was a solder crack to the boot flash loader IC. Same here, heat seems to play a role. Tow them in, then fire up next day! Thanks for reply.
That's right buddy I've the answer report from PACCAR here about the component improvement made to it 👍. They change the rubbers on the ecu every Y3 now
Thanks for the comment buddy and for watching...That's the one lol I don't get involved in it, I'd rather fit and program a new ECU for a couple of 100 more BUT due to the trucks 'worth' it was minimal spend required
Is it a trusted test to use a LED light to test powers and grounds on an unplugged circuit IE no current flow no voltage drop. I know in this case it was the ecu, but could a LED test light that draws very little current get you in trouble
Ha ha ha I've just checked the current draw of the test lamp and I don't think 0.9amps is enough to be load testing wiring too 😂😂😂😂 I should have plugged the female terminals into the consumer as usual I.e the ECU.
Hey, thanks for the comment and for watching the video.😎👀 The diode in the wiring had failed, I bypassed this with the link lead which has now stopped the issue. It needs a new wiring harness basically
Ive got in one of my switch slots on the dashboard a Red LED and a fuel filter with water drips icon, do you know what it is for. I dont see this on all DAFs
that was an interesting PCI fault, usuallywhen the crankcase unit is spinning it means its ROM booted, partially working, from the thumbnail i thought it was a PCI 2, i always bring my bench harness with me to quickly test for it
Hey thanks for the comment buddy, I think due to the age of the truck (2014) and the ECU being 10 years old it's not your typical fault hence why the usual symptoms aren't being displayed. As for the thumbnail I best fix that 😂😂😂😂😂 I just slapped PCI in hit download. I should use a bench harness, I've got one here for Cummins so I should make one for PCI really
Thank you, I'm only human and I do make mistakes.....I should have load tested these power supplies and ground them with a bulb rather than my test light also 🫣 my bad. I worked on a t800 a few months ago but didnt record it. id love to go to America and get stuck into some paccar products!
Here in the states PACCAR has sorta bad reputation, DD15 and CUMMINS dominates the market,i do love paccar products like the PCIs since its so expensive i can charge good for a reball on the MPC or IO chip lol, same goes for the VGTs
@MrPolaris800crew I worked/rebuilt Cummins ISM as an apprentice until DAF no longer produced FODEN (DAF CAB-CUMMINS ENGINE) Sounds like you must have on hell of a hot air station set up for doing this work buddy 😂😂
Wish had the penny to get decent diag for hgv but am poor so have to use cheap delphi 🫢 does the job for what i need done the temp permant repair many times on ivecos 🤣 some customers need it running then end up running the temp repair till it breaks again. Done the heat gun trick to ecus few times does the trick. Do you have any problems with your local daf with you showing how to diag stuff as it taking money out there pocket.
Hi buddy. You can have this system for 65 pounds a week, that's the system and license fee. I've another customer who has just purchased jaltest and he changes a £50 diagnostic charge every time he plugs his computer into a customer's truck. As for my local DAF dealer, I still do work for DAF. Most of my work is in Manchester these days though.
Well, that was fun! Nothing like having a fault give you the run-around.
I think the seat cable tie fix was my best Bodge 😂😂😂
i agree but if it works it works
It's most probably still the same now 😂😂😂
@TRUCKTECHUK your not wrong there Russ if it works they won't buy a new switch they will leave it
very smart very helpful solve every fault toti from glasgow
Cheers buddy! Hope the trucks behaving well 🫣

Hi ya bang on video this week keep up the great work
Cheers Toby, thanks for watching and I'm glad you enjoyed it buddy! Bloody DAFS😂😂😂😂😂😂
Another brilliant video Russ 🤩 x
Glad you enjoyed it
Nice repair on that seat bro 👍..
good video again pal!
Thanks for your time

@AddyBittler- Thank you buddy. Along as its daf they would be in good hands ha ha ha
Good video mate, there was some good explanation, but i cannot understand what happened with that v-can 2.
Me neither 😂😂😂😂😂, one minute continuity and variable resistance....I pulled the harness off the bulkhead everything was factory figures and it fired right up 😳🫣.
Then I vibrate the ecu and it shuts down
@TRUCKTECHUK Yeah, that's still a mystery but i am glad that you find the issue on PCI ecu.
great work Russ and another informative video 👍👍
Thanks buddy 👍. I'm glad you enjoyed it 👌 😎
again a great video , i really do get so much from your content thank you

No problem my friend 😎👌
5:40 was the seat in a renault premium?

Thanks for the comment buddy. Yes not the best and rather unusual as that's not how that failure works usually ha ha ha
This jaltest diagnosis tool does it require subscription fee annually
hello sir please where to get this kind of software please
Hello, what was the problem with this truck?
Wish had the penny to get decent diag for hgv but am poor so have to use cheap delphi 🫢 does the job for what i need done the temp permant repair many times on ivecos 🤣 some customers need it running then end up running the temp repair till it breaks again.
