You know that Jet liner airplanes are automated? Somehow planes are not crashing into each other. With considerably more variables. If we are to assume any rate of improvement? It is inevitable.
@@therealsnoop7497 Actually when the computer dies, you usually don't get an error message and sometimes it reports everything is perfectly fine... but yes, the car dies and won't restart... Been there, done that... took a week to properly diagnose with an almost identical doner car to swap most electronic parts from and about $12,000.00 in borrowed test equipment. Didn't get a T-shirt but still have the car. And yes, I bought the car for half asking, I'm sure the computer was already failing and stranding the former owner all over the place... Most major electrical parts had already been replaced. Computers not only fail... they lie.
Self-driving cars are useless in Canada during bad snowstorms. Here in Southern Ontario, we often get such bad storms in the winter that there are 4 to 6 inches of snow over the pavement and it becomes difficult to even 'GUESS' where the actual road is, compared to where the farmer's field is. Usually, you just have to look at the pile of snow up ahead of you, and you can make out the 'Ridge' of snow, and you assume that 'ridge' is the road, and the valleys on either side are the ditches, and you drive towards the high spots and avoid the low spots. Self-driving cars cannot deal with driving conditions like that.
We have an 04 grand caravan that had the limp home problem with its transmission. Set a code and was stuck in 2nd gear. Replaced solonoid pack, very easy, maybe 30 min job, no problems since. Much better than taking the trans apart to find the solonoids.
You are spot on about automated cars, Scotty! When I studied computer networking at the University of Houston, our class was tasked with writing a procedure for a human to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Most of us came up with a procedure in 2 to 10 steps. Our instructor then tasked us with brainstorming how an AI would do this. My group anticipated it would take millions of steps since a robot with AI does not have common sense such as knowing what a knife is, how to get the ingredients, what the ingredients are, and so on to near infinity.
I can’t stand technology in cars. I got stuck with my ex wife’s VW Touareg in the divorce and the first thing I did was pay off the note and ditched that thing before it decided to play dashboard light bingo, again. Hell, the price on the damn tires for that thing were the same price my buddy paid for all new tires on his Ferrari. Now, I drive a 99 TJ I built up with a body off restoration with absolutely zero technology in it, and to clean it out I can just pressure wash the interior.
I was an engineer at a company developing LiDAR systems for autonomous vehicles. There’s a LONG way to go. From the optics to the packaging to the software there’s lots of R&D that still needs to occur.

High Test gasoline. I haven't heard that term since the 1960s. Thank you Scotty for reminding me of my grandaddy! Fillerup with high test, yeah, SkyChief.
I believe that either 1989 or 1990 was the final year that leaded gasoline was available in the USA. I can't say what was happening in other countries...
Don't stop scotty your a good teacher and I can't afford that fancy crap if I had the money for a new car I still won't buy that computer car garbage I like my 70's 80's 90's and early 2000's cars
Well you’ve got it right Scotty, there are too many stupid folks driving already slamming into everything on perfect weather days so combining those idiots with autonomous will be disastrous.
Hey Scotty, I am a 64yr old former dairy farmer and also construction worker. I sure enjoy your insite into the real world and you bring great info and advice for us guys who love to be well informed and do some of our own mechanic work.
Sooner or later these self driving, self crashing cars are going to have this interface in the dash that has a lens like glass with a steady red light in it, and it says "HAL 9000" on the top. When you try to gain at least some sort of control it locks you in, turns off the air conditioning, jams your cell phone and says "I can't let you do that. You were trying to disconnect me."
That is easy, automated car only lane...and then eventually decrease the non-automated lanes and increase automated lanes as automated cars increase.....just like HOV lanes, bike lanes...seperate them....
Agreed re automated cars, and that’s coming from an ex-software developer. I would never trust software to carry me around amongst thousands of other people / software driven machines. Yep, fantasy.
I can see self driving carts (thinking golf cart sized vehicles) in large areas, such as factories, carrying around supplies/inventory/information, but that's about as far as I'd be willing to go. Those could be very useful. (They might have them now, I don't know.)
Re: Self driving cars. You're driving along....the traffic light up ahead turns yellow and then red. And as you're sitting there you notice that there are no cars coming in the perpendicular direction. So they're gonna have self driving cars? The can even tell if there's a two tonne object on the road when they're changing traffic signals.
@@GabrielFreitas-ml8cc Not really, boats and trains are far away from each other for most of their journey, and can only take a handful of fixed routes. The problem with cars is that they are in close proximity and have rapidly changing surroundings which can trip up the self driving systems.
I believe the VW one you got wrong. If there is a separate pump then there is a vacuum hose and the leak is in the hose. Which is very common. Self driving will happen. They have that kind of control in Jets. It is mostly computer controlled. for accident avoidance.
Scotty I've learned a lot looking and listening at your videos, I know your not much of a fan with GM vehicles but learning how to proper care for your vehicle I do go with your advice and is able to share your ideas with other people. I wish I lived near you. You would definitely be my mechanic.
I agree! Autonomous tech is fine to compensate for a distracted driver, but that's about it. Software is overrated anyway. All the computer power in the world can never comprehend the feeling of walking barefoot on the beach holding the hand of a loved one.
Self-driving cars will lead to the same thing as auto pilots did on airplanes. They flew them into mountains, buildings, radio towers and one another until the pilots finally learned to cross check the auto pilots and remain the "eyes" of the ships.
Planes are mostly flown by software and have their own highway. That's why the Maxx is grounded...because it's broken. The infrastructure for the amount of people commuting like the 710 in flying cars would be ridiculous now, and even 50 years from now, regardless of mindblowing the current tech is.
I love that Scotties life outlook is positive enough he can't imagine a world where the legal system is engineered to protect big companies from harming everyday people. I think I lost that when businesses became people and money became speech
You are right on about the lawyers coming out and having a field day. Plus I believe there will be many situations where insurance companies will not pay off. Why would they pay when the accident was caused by a problem with the cars manufacturer or a software , or a glitch in the system controlling the vehicles. Insurance companies don't want to pay now. But if a car was not being driven by the insured and by the car itself they will say it's not their responsibility.
They are dividing up the highway with HOV lanes. Eventually there will be sensors in the HOV lanes for autonomous vehicles. The autonomous vehicles will then have their own lanes.
They have probably avoided the law suites and probably will go on to avoid them by the fact that It makes incredibly clear that it is the users fault. Same deal with cruise control, if you crash a car with cruise control it isn't cruise control's fault. Same deal with satnavs, You can't sue a satnav mfg because the satnav told you to drive into a lake. It would be different if the car took full control and prevented/ignored user input... That is VERY different and they probably would have a law suit on their hands.
I doubt fully autonomous vehicles will be a success within my driving career. As a veteran driver with 22, going on 23 years of driving trucks for a living. There's too many variables out there, & Ai can only overcome so many.
I totally agree! I always thought the concept of "autonomous" vehicles was extremely STUPID smh. Not sure why these companies are pushing so hard for it 😤🤦🏿♂️
I thought it was both hilarious and scary reading in one of those science magazines about self driving RV's where you can "eat, watch tv, even SLEEP while the RV does its thing." Ummmm, don't think so.
The filter is going to determine when you should change the oil. I wouldn't push it past 10K miles. I change my oil and filter every 5K miles with conventional oil. For conventional oil you can see it thickening up at around 5K miles. Don't go by the color, that's just the detergent in the oil doing it's job and if it's black it doesn't mean it's bad. Go with the thickness instead. If you have a car that has small oil holes in the pistons or oil galleries then change oil every 3K miles. You don't want a sludge buildup as it will heatup and destroy the engine.
Adding to Scotty's Fuel advice: A buddy told me when he worked in a gas station, the underground "regular" tank got filled much more often than the other two because people bought more because it was $0.20 cheaper. The half-full or less tank would develop rust and condensation in the empty part and contaminate the fuel which was then dumped into customers' engines. In the short term it didn't damage any cars but over time that's gotta hurt. Replacing an underground tank puts the station out of business for a month or so in addition to the heavy cost, so most stations will live with it. Buddy advised to spend the extra money for Premium fuel. That was a big expense when gas was $1.20/gal, but with prices at $3.50 or more, the extra $0.20 represents a mere 6% increase in order to help the car last an extra few years.
After a mishap with radar cruise control and collision sensors hell no. Had the radar cruise set at 55mph someone ahead turned and stopped. The radar/collision sensors picked up the car that had turned and stopped and slammed on my cars brakes.
I’m looking for some sage advice. I bought a 2008 Mini Cooper S. It was advertised that it would need a new computer. It had a code of P0687 ECU relay voltage high. I trouble shot, and hoped that it was somehow the way ECU/DME was calculating the control module voltage. My scan tool says that the control module voltage is 25.6667 volts. I have measured voltage in several different places from the head lights to the license plate light and all I can get is between 12 and 13.0 volts with the engine off or engine idling. But, tis is only the start of my problems. I sent my DME off to have it diagnosed, and repaired. The company promised that for $999.00 they could swap out my DME and program it for my vehicle and fix the P0687. I took pictures of my old DME just for future reference. Low and behold, it was not the original DME that came with the car. I only found that out after researching a couple days ago. The DME company sent me a refurbished DME and I plugged it in and my Mini powered up and ran. The original P0687 problem came back, along with a new problem U0101 Lost communication with the TCM. I forgot to mention that My Mini is a 6 speed manual transmission so there is no TCM (at least I don’t think so) Before I send the DME I want to make sure this P0687 problem is not in one of the control modules in the car. I read about checking the coding on the CAS to make sure the battery is registered and a pletera of other diags. I bought BMW DIS V44, V57, SSS V63 & TIS V8 GT1 INPA EDIABAS DIAGNOSTIC DEALER SOFTWARE. Woah NELLY! I’ve only opened whole nother can of worms. I found that the VIN in the DME doesn’t match the VIN in the CAS. AND I have no way of knowing if the Vehicle Order that is currently in the DME is the proper Vehicle Order for my vehicle. I say that because I think this DME is possible from a vehicle that had an automatic transmission. Is there a place to find the proper original Vehicle Order for the VIN of my car? Who can properly code my DME with the correct Vehicle Order? Or should I just give up and drive it the way it is? Other than burning a little oil, and a check engine light, it runs pretty good.
@Scotty Kilmer Hey Scotty I purchased a 2018 Toyota Camry SE that I’ve been having issues with I purchased it used at 45k miles. At 57800 miles my Camry threw a array of warning lights pre-collision system malfunctioning, Secondary Brake collision system malfunction, PCS light on, engine light on, Slip Control light on, and Triangle warning Lamp. I had it towed to a GM dealer that I purchased it from and they suggested replacing the coil pack and plug on cylinder 4 because of the P0304 Code the Camry was throwing. They ordered through a local Toyota Dealer and replaced the coil and plug. I get the car back drive it 84 miles and every warning light as before comes back on had to drive it back to the GM dealership I purchased it from. Now throwing all the same array of warning lights etc and misfire code they suggest replacing the injector so they ordered it as before stated and replaced it. Drive it again and the Camry still showing the pending misfire code on the back end but no warning lights as before. So I take it to a actual Toyota dealership and they run diagnostics on it and freeze frame data and they state they see no misfire and clear the pending code and get charged $110 for a diagnostic fee. So I drive it and here the Camry is still throwing the pending misfire code on cylinder 4. Idk what to do to solve this I have made 3 attempts to fix this issue already. I did contact Toyota directly and was assigned a case manager that I haven’t spoke to yet. I spoke to a case manager and they say theirs nothing toyota can do unless a dealership can replicate the issue. My cars constantly clearing the p0304 code and randomly throwing it back on pending especially after it sits for a while and start it it has a rough idle. This cars just driving me crazy
wholeNwon got in it earlier today and everything came back on engine light all the array of warning lights that I mentioned before when this first happened. P0304 Stored,Pending, Permanent on code reader and if I was reading it right 64 counts of misfire on the 4th cylinder. So I took it to a Toyota dealership and dropped it off waiting to see what they say in the morning and what my case manager will now say considering a Toyota dealership will be able to see all the array of warning lights and codes. This cars driving me crazy and this with be the 4th time taking it to a dealership over the same issue and 4th attempt at fixing it. No clue if I’m within or able to file a lemon law on the car or not..
I agree with you Scotty, these self driving cars will only cause needless loss of life, computers are like toys compared to the human mind when it comes to driving a vehicle.
Thank you!!! This is never gonna be a thing in our life time idc what ppl read on wiki or wth ever their reading. Sorry to crush your dreams ppl won’t be happening for a long long long long long long long long time
My dad's car is a 2019. It stops its self before you can hit anything behind you or in front of you. It won't change lanes if something is beside you. It stops on a dime and gives you a nickel in change.
VW had a recall on the brake booster problem. The person with the last question in the video might see if their VIN was part of the camshaft / brake booster failure. “Volkswagen is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 Jetta, Beetle, Beetle Convertible, Passat, Golf/GTI and Golf SportWagen vehicles. In the affected vehicles, the camshaft lobe that drives the brake vacuum pump may shear off, resulting in a loss of brake assist. ... Volkswagen's number for this recall is 23R1.”
I'd love to have an extended sit down chin wag with Scotty and find out all of the obscure mysteries of my old GM pickup. He would probably tell me to get rid of it but the drivers seat just 'feels like home'. I know, you shouldn't get attached but it's just so comfortable.
About a month ago I decided I'm going to buy a used car in the Fall (drove a silverado for the last 20 years). I have no idea where to start so when I searched youtube for advice, I found you. Because of you, I am now scared to buy anything but a Toyota. Thank you, sir.
Lawyers are the real problem for autonomous cars. The software seems like a problem, but lots of stuff that used to be a problem on the older cars in the 30's and 40's are every day now.
Scotty...... here in the Houston area, we have gasoline storage tanks in Pasedena along HWY225 that are emblazoned with "Crown".... These are filled with millions of gallons of gasoline. All gas is born the same.... the tanker drivers actually install the additives which make the gasoline into it's particular brand.
Had a 2002 Acura (bought it used at 179k miles) transmission that started to drop shift at 60, shuttered at 28 trying to shift to third and other bad signs. Changed the trans fluid/external filter... only got worse. Read online about the solenoid packs and that they usually have little tiny thimble-like filters. On this car they were fairly easy to access so I took the packs off, removed the 'thimble-like' filters and cleaned them with break cleaner. Put the packs back on the car. And *presto!* the car drove perfect!. The trans was obviously starting to fail, though... about 10k miles later it began to exhibit a couple of the shifting problems again. So... I repeated the same 30 minute process again. This time I got 9k. Then 9k Then 12k ... this went on for 85k more miles before the trans internally failed... but that was ok, since I paid $900 for it and got an additional 125k miles out of it! So... check to see if your car has a solenoid/solenoid pack attached to the transmission. If you are cheap like me, you might save yourself some $$$.
They honestly should just bring back cars that are easy to fix, and have actual style to them unlike the cars today that are one color. If I were to make a car, it would have true 1960’s styling and simplicity and people would be able to fix it themselves easily.
Yeah, I agree it will take a lot longer than expected, for Category 5 Level Autonomy. Schedule has slipped out to 2040-2050. Which is so far out that it is meaningless. Most people don't really understand what Category 5 even means.

I think you meant what happens WHEN the software gets a virus.
Don't give them network connectivity.
You load it up with toilet paper and put it in lockdown. 🤣
Put chloroquine in the tank.
Hi Scotty, I hope you doing well, stay safe we need you 🙏
hello and thanks stay safe as well!
@@scottykilmer All hail Scotty!
Scotty has immunity... he was bitten by '94 Celica virus. 😁😋
@@mael-strom9707 : Hahaa... good one.
High Test gasoline. I haven't heard that term since the 1960s. Thank you Scotty for reminding me of my grandaddy! Fillerup with high test, yeah, SkyChief.
How about.." Fill it up with leaded?"
I believe that either 1989 or 1990 was the final year that leaded gasoline was available in the USA. I can't say what was happening in other countries...
@@frankgiaquinto1571 I remember here in Scotland we still had leaded gas until the very late 90's. I think it was stopped in 2000 by EU laws.
Don't stop scotty your a good teacher and I can't afford that fancy crap if I had the money for a new car I still won't buy that computer car garbage I like my 70's 80's 90's and early 2000's cars
Well you’ve got it right Scotty, there are too many stupid folks driving already slamming into everything on perfect weather days so combining those idiots with autonomous will be disastrous.
Thank You & Good Evening My Good Friend Scotty Kilmer Sir
Love the reflection on the glasses
Squirrel?
The details
Such a G
Hey Scotty, I am a 64yr old former dairy farmer and also construction worker. I sure enjoy your insite into the real world and you bring great info and advice for us guys who love to be well informed and do some of our own mechanic work.
Sooner or later these self driving, self crashing cars are going to have this interface in the dash that has a lens like glass with a steady red light in it, and it says "HAL 9000" on the top. When you try to gain at least some sort of control it locks you in, turns off the air conditioning, jams your cell phone and says "I can't let you do that. You were trying to disconnect me."
That is easy, automated car only lane...and then eventually decrease the non-automated lanes and increase automated lanes as automated cars increase.....just like HOV lanes, bike lanes...seperate them....
Agreed re automated cars, and that’s coming from an ex-software developer. I would never trust software to carry me around amongst thousands of other people / software driven machines. Yep, fantasy.
Yep - next thing we will be having CARS that drive themselves !!! 😳
I can see self driving carts (thinking golf cart sized vehicles) in large areas, such as factories, carrying around supplies/inventory/information, but that's about as far as I'd be willing to go. Those could be very useful. (They might have them now, I don't know.)
Automated airplanes still need pilots and engineers on board, just saying, oh, and they ain’t cheap🤨
You must eschew flying then right? Most commercial airliners are guided by auto-pilot and there are thousands of them in the air at any given moment.
the average person is a crappy driver. it is not hard for computers to drive better than the average driver
Excellent points on them self driving cars Scotty, but you knew that. I especially dig that train comparison.
Thanks Scotty! I hope all is well with you and yours.
Just started watching your videos last week and i'm already learning a lot! Thanks a lot Scotty! Take care of yourself :)
Excellent point. I hate people create empty hypes just to fill up their egos and their bank accounts
Self repairing cars.
Now there’s an idea 💡
😠Christine😠
Lmao imagine if we had self repair cars like video games did
mechanics like scotty would be outta business
Great idea but wait... the dealers won’t make any money
That would great for Chrysler owners, save the black Amex card a bit of sweating.
Re: Self driving cars. You're driving along....the traffic light up ahead turns yellow and then red. And as you're sitting there you notice that there are no cars coming in the perpendicular direction. So they're gonna have self driving cars? The can even tell if there's a two tonne object on the road when they're changing traffic signals.
self driving technology would be more useful on cargo ships or trains.
Fast Banana and also a whole lot more dangerous
@@GabrielFreitas-ml8cc Not really, boats and trains are far away from each other for most of their journey, and can only take a handful of fixed routes. The problem with cars is that they are in close proximity and have rapidly changing surroundings which can trip up the self driving systems.
already used on airplane albeit not completely.
@@glowiever yep auto pilot, as far as I know they've been using that for years
I believe the VW one you got wrong. If there is a separate pump then there is a vacuum hose and the leak is in the hose. Which is very common. Self driving will happen. They have that kind of control in Jets. It is mostly computer controlled. for accident avoidance.
You’re a workhorse Scotty! Keep up the good honest work and hope all is well
Scotty I've learned a lot looking and listening at your videos, I know your not much of a fan with GM vehicles but learning how to proper care for your vehicle I do go with your advice and is able to share your ideas with other people. I wish I lived near you. You would definitely be my mechanic.
I agree! Autonomous tech is fine to compensate for a distracted driver, but that's about it.
Software is overrated anyway. All the computer power in the world can never comprehend the feeling of walking barefoot on the beach holding the hand of a loved one.
Self-driving cars will lead to the same thing as auto pilots did on airplanes. They flew them into mountains, buildings, radio towers and one another until the pilots finally learned to cross check the auto pilots and remain the "eyes" of the ships.
Hell we can't cure the cornavirus let alone build self driving car's
Planes are mostly flown by software and have their own highway. That's why the Maxx is grounded...because it's broken.
The infrastructure for the amount of people commuting like the 710 in flying cars would be ridiculous now, and even 50 years from now, regardless of mindblowing the current tech is.
I love that Scotties life outlook is positive enough he can't imagine a world where the legal system is engineered to protect big companies from harming everyday people.
I think I lost that when businesses became people and money became speech
You are right on about the lawyers coming out and having a field day. Plus I believe there will be many situations where insurance companies will not pay off. Why would they pay when the accident was caused by a problem with the cars manufacturer or a software , or a glitch in the system controlling the vehicles. Insurance companies don't want to pay now. But if a car was not being driven by the insured and by the car itself they will say it's not their responsibility.
They are dividing up the highway with HOV lanes. Eventually there will be sensors in the HOV lanes for autonomous vehicles. The autonomous vehicles will then have their own lanes.
They have probably avoided the law suites and probably will go on to avoid them by the fact that It makes incredibly clear that it is the users fault.
Same deal with cruise control, if you crash a car with cruise control it isn't cruise control's fault.
Same deal with satnavs, You can't sue a satnav mfg because the satnav told you to drive into a lake.
It would be different if the car took full control and prevented/ignored user input... That is VERY different and they probably would have a law suit on their hands.
I doubt fully autonomous vehicles will be a success within my driving career. As a veteran driver with 22, going on 23 years of driving trucks for a living. There's too many variables out there, & Ai can only overcome so many.
machine learning is incredibly powerful.....
time to get burried in theh comments
not today
Scotty is gangster
I totally agree! I always thought the concept of "autonomous" vehicles was extremely STUPID smh. Not sure why these companies are pushing so hard for it 😤🤦🏿♂️
Population control? Autonomous cars = more fatal accidents = global depopulation. Count me out
pocket padding ;)
Thank you, Scotty, for confirming what I've thought for YEARS!
I got out of mechanics when T-series repair went to emission checks. DPF DEF and Regen messed up transportation.
Blessings to you and your family Scotty.
94 celica is an autonomous car.
It pulls the strings of my heart autonomously.
Love you scotty.
Hey Scotty ! I notice the shelves behind you were cleaned up. There’s little plants and all ! Looks good ! 👍
I 100% agree with you on self drive cars!
I thought it was both hilarious and scary reading in one of those science magazines about self driving RV's where you can "eat, watch tv, even SLEEP while the RV does its thing." Ummmm, don't think so.
The filter is going to determine when you should change the oil. I wouldn't push it past 10K miles. I change my oil and filter every 5K miles with conventional oil. For conventional oil you can see it thickening up at around 5K miles. Don't go by the color, that's just the detergent in the oil doing it's job and if it's black it doesn't mean it's bad. Go with the thickness instead. If you have a car that has small oil holes in the pistons or oil galleries then change oil every 3K miles. You don't want a sludge buildup as it will heatup and destroy the engine.
I am a software engineer, and I could not agree with you more!
Thanks Uncle Scotty 🙏
Adding to Scotty's Fuel advice: A buddy told me when he worked in a gas station, the underground "regular" tank got filled much more often than the other two because people bought more because it was $0.20 cheaper. The half-full or less tank would develop rust and condensation in the empty part and contaminate the fuel which was then dumped into customers' engines. In the short term it didn't damage any cars but over time that's gotta hurt. Replacing an underground tank puts the station out of business for a month or so in addition to the heavy cost, so most stations will live with it. Buddy advised to spend the extra money for Premium fuel. That was a big expense when gas was $1.20/gal, but with prices at $3.50 or more, the extra $0.20 represents a mere 6% increase in order to help the car last an extra few years.
After a mishap with radar cruise control and collision sensors hell no. Had the radar cruise set at 55mph someone ahead turned and stopped. The radar/collision sensors picked up the car that had turned and stopped and slammed on my cars brakes.
I’m looking for some sage advice. I bought a 2008 Mini Cooper S. It was advertised that it would need a new computer. It had a code of P0687 ECU relay voltage high. I trouble shot, and hoped that it was somehow the way ECU/DME was calculating the control module voltage. My scan tool says that the control module voltage is 25.6667 volts. I have measured voltage in several different places from the head lights to the license plate light and all I can get is between 12 and 13.0 volts with the engine off or engine idling. But, tis is only the start of my problems. I sent my DME off to have it diagnosed, and repaired. The company promised that for $999.00 they could swap out my DME and program it for my vehicle and fix the P0687. I took pictures of my old DME just for future reference. Low and behold, it was not the original DME that came with the car. I only found that out after researching a couple days ago. The DME company sent me a refurbished DME and I plugged it in and my Mini powered up and ran. The original P0687 problem came back, along with a new problem U0101 Lost communication with the TCM. I forgot to mention that My Mini is a 6 speed manual transmission so there is no TCM (at least I don’t think so) Before I send the DME I want to make sure this P0687 problem is not in one of the control modules in the car. I read about checking the coding on the CAS to make sure the battery is registered and a pletera of other diags. I bought BMW DIS V44, V57, SSS V63 & TIS V8 GT1 INPA EDIABAS DIAGNOSTIC DEALER SOFTWARE. Woah NELLY! I’ve only opened whole nother can of worms. I found that the VIN in the DME doesn’t match the VIN in the CAS. AND I have no way of knowing if the Vehicle Order that is currently in the DME is the proper Vehicle Order for my vehicle. I say that because I think this DME is possible from a vehicle that had an automatic transmission. Is there a place to find the proper original Vehicle Order for the VIN of my car? Who can properly code my DME with the correct Vehicle Order? Or should I just give up and drive it the way it is? Other than burning a little oil, and a check engine light, it runs pretty good.
Also, self driving cars could never navigate in Great Lakes snow belt winters.
@Scotty Kilmer Hey Scotty I purchased a 2018 Toyota Camry SE that I’ve been having issues with I purchased it used at 45k miles. At 57800 miles my Camry threw a array of warning lights pre-collision system malfunctioning, Secondary Brake collision system malfunction, PCS light on, engine light on, Slip Control light on, and Triangle warning Lamp. I had it towed to a GM dealer that I purchased it from and they suggested replacing the coil pack and plug on cylinder 4 because of the P0304 Code the Camry was throwing. They ordered through a local Toyota Dealer and replaced the coil and plug. I get the car back drive it 84 miles and every warning light as before comes back on had to drive it back to the GM dealership I purchased it from. Now throwing all the same array of warning lights etc and misfire code they suggest replacing the injector so they ordered it as before stated and replaced it. Drive it again and the Camry still showing the pending misfire code on the back end but no warning lights as before. So I take it to a actual Toyota dealership and they run diagnostics on it and freeze frame data and they state they see no misfire and clear the pending code and get charged $110 for a diagnostic fee. So I drive it and here the Camry is still throwing the pending misfire code on cylinder 4. Idk what to do to solve this I have made 3 attempts to fix this issue already. I did contact Toyota directly and was assigned a case manager that I haven’t spoke to yet. I spoke to a case manager and they say theirs nothing toyota can do unless a dealership can replicate the issue. My cars constantly clearing the p0304 code and randomly throwing it back on pending especially after it sits for a while and start it it has a rough idle. This cars just driving me crazy
First have the battery load tested. A bad cell can do a lot of those things.
wholeNwon got in it earlier today and everything came back on engine light all the array of warning lights that I mentioned before when this first happened. P0304 Stored,Pending, Permanent on code reader and if I was reading it right 64 counts of misfire on the 4th cylinder. So I took it to a Toyota dealership and dropped it off waiting to see what they say in the morning and what my case manager will now say considering a Toyota dealership will be able to see all the array of warning lights and codes. This cars driving me crazy and this with be the 4th time taking it to a dealership over the same issue and 4th attempt at fixing it. No clue if I’m within or able to file a lemon law on the car or not..
I agree with you Scotty, these self driving cars will only cause needless loss of life, computers are like toys compared to the human mind when it comes to driving a vehicle.
Hi Scotty, please don't leave us!!!
hello, will do!
Aye I’m glad you’re ok bud even though your not turning wrenches I’m sure your keeping busy . Mad respect ✊ Stay Safe
I love your videos. They've gotten me interested in fixing cars! I can't wait til I can get one and fix it up.
Dropping motors and pulling front clips to do basic maintenance made me want to quit!🤔😒
Thank you!!! This is never gonna be a thing in our life time idc what ppl read on wiki or wth ever their reading. Sorry to crush your dreams ppl won’t be happening for a long long long long long long long long time
My dad's car is a 2019. It stops its self before you can hit anything behind you or in front of you. It won't change lanes if something is beside you. It stops on a dime and gives you a nickel in change.
Some gas stations think that water is a good additive
9:40 "If your your pedal remains stiff for more than 4 hours, please seek emergency medical attention" :-)
And hope the doctor is a female !!
You are old and wise. You know more than some people will ever learn.
no matter how hard they try ! !
"you guys are living in la la land"
this makes me laugh 😂
VW had a recall on the brake booster problem. The person with the last question in the video might see if their VIN was part of the camshaft / brake booster failure. “Volkswagen is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 Jetta, Beetle, Beetle Convertible, Passat, Golf/GTI and Golf SportWagen vehicles. In the affected vehicles, the camshaft lobe that drives the brake vacuum pump may shear off, resulting in a loss of brake assist. ... Volkswagen's number for this recall is 23R1.”
I'd love to have an extended sit down chin wag with Scotty and find out all of the obscure mysteries of my old GM pickup. He would probably tell me to get rid of it but the drivers seat just 'feels like home'. I know, you shouldn't get attached but it's just so comfortable.
I got my drivers license to drive! Screw these self driving cars I'm always going to drive a car myself.
About a month ago I decided I'm going to buy a used car in the Fall (drove a silverado for the last 20 years). I have no idea where to start so when I searched youtube for advice, I found you. Because of you, I am now scared to buy anything but a Toyota. Thank you, sir.
😄
Good.
Self driving cars have been here in Chandler Arizona for years. They seem to be doing well.
This is why I love my two Subaru’s hardly anything is electronic except a few things. I’ll keep my Subaru’s going till I can not longer can!
Lawyers are the real problem for autonomous cars. The software seems like a problem, but lots of stuff that used to be a problem on the older cars in the 30's and 40's are every day now.
Scotty...... here in the Houston area, we have gasoline storage tanks in Pasedena along HWY225 that are emblazoned with "Crown".... These are filled with millions of gallons of gasoline. All gas is born the same.... the tanker drivers actually install the additives which make the gasoline into it's particular brand.
you made me look at self driving cars a different way
Had a 2002 Acura (bought it used at 179k miles) transmission that started to drop shift at 60, shuttered at 28 trying to shift to third and other bad signs. Changed the trans fluid/external filter... only got worse.
Read online about the solenoid packs and that they usually have little tiny thimble-like filters.
On this car they were fairly easy to access so I took the packs off, removed the 'thimble-like' filters and cleaned them with break cleaner. Put the packs back on the car.
And *presto!* the car drove perfect!. The trans was obviously starting to fail, though... about 10k miles later it began to exhibit a couple of the shifting problems again.
So... I repeated the same 30 minute process again. This time I got 9k.
Then 9k
Then 12k
... this went on for 85k more miles before the trans internally failed... but that was ok, since I paid $900 for it and got an additional 125k miles out of it!
So... check to see if your car has a solenoid/solenoid pack attached to the transmission. If you are cheap like me, you might save yourself some $$$.
They honestly should just bring back cars that are easy to fix, and have actual style to them unlike the cars today that are one color. If I were to make a car, it would have true 1960’s styling and simplicity and people would be able to fix it themselves easily.
Its time for another car like the Model T. Cheap and easy to repair
Planned obsolescence and the end of the DIYers
Yeah, I agree it will take a lot longer than expected, for Category 5 Level Autonomy. Schedule has slipped out to 2040-2050. Which is so far out that it is meaningless. Most people don't really understand what Category 5 even means.
When I changed brake pads on 18 yrs old Suzuki it was only one that was worn out while other 3 had still about 5 mm material on it.
Question? = If self-driving cars become the norm and the software has a 'glitch' and has an accident, who gets the ticket?
First the computer then the car the driver is free from getting any ticket.
rev up your slowed self-driving car production
