Is it true if buying odb scanner from amazon Each vehical data costs 23 dollars? So if i worked on 10 different vehicals in 2 years it is going to cost me a whopping $230 additional dollars? Is that even transferable to a different cell phone account? Or do have to spend for all vehical's info in the future including the ones from the past again?
Reason why it came out is because of the grease on the wheel speed sensor. It's something I always did as a dealer tech when they went bad early on or replacing a wheelhub with abs sensor. Though SiliKroil not regular Kroil is epic and the best. It leaves a layer of silicone behind which helps. I was fixing farm field big rigs from PA for a while. Down sides are the silicone is hell for paint guys abd causes a ton of fish eyes jn the paint.
I was handed the keys to a 2000 something vette and no other techs could figure out why the traction control would kick in on the freeway while cruising, they even replaced the abs module and no deal. I took it on a drive while looking at speed sensor data and noticed when I got up to 70mph the rear wheels were spinning faster than the front then the traction control would kick in. Turns out the customer installed aftermarket wheels and the car requires a staggered setup. I think it was 19in rear and 18 front. They put 20s all around so when the car got to 70mph the speed difference would cause traction control. Took me longer to hook up the Scan tool than to figure it out
I sold my 2004 Cadillac CTS because it applied ABS randomly on the highway and jerked the car violently to the right. Replaced right rear hub and sensor, and it repeated days later. Dealer wanted to throw parts at it, so it went straight to CarMax
@throttlebottle5906 what made it much worse was the customer was blaming the shop for causing the issue in the first place as they did the body repair after his accident, evidently he used the extra money from the insurance to go to rent a wheel lol. They tried to help by playing swaptronics and that only cost em money lol
I had a Subaru where the customer had replaced a front tires due to a puncture in one that made it unusable. Same size as the other and backs in specifications, but between different brands and that one was new and back pair worn, it was enough to trigger ABS issues.
I definitely put in a plug for good ole Eric once in a while when I have time to make a film for my itty-bitty channel. One thing I avoid doing is give repair advice. I mainly do DIY work and side automotive repair when I am able to. I plan on making a film soon on the topic of taking repair advice from DIYers on RUclips. I have seen other DIYers do some horrendous stuff to their vehicles while filming a repair...Whoa Nellie!
No questions or concerns here, just thanks for all the videos you've been cranking out lately. I watch a few other mechanics but you're the OG/yardstick in my book. Thanks as always, Eric!
In these times, there's nothing more precious than a honest professional that does the job right and tries to save his customer money at the same time. Eric O , you would be a great POTUS !
There should be at least one black person in this video, being represented on an equal level to Mr. Eric. Vote for boxchecker Biden, so we can make this a reality!
As always, another great fix. It amazes me how you can do your repairs and still set things up se we viewers can watch. I know it must take lots of extra time and effort, and I, for one, appreciate it.
It;s amazing how quickly you diagnose, disassemble, fix, reassemble and confirm the fix. If that was me doing this, it would be a 17 episode series on youtube.
i really .. REALLY ... Hate my brakes... why u hate your brakes Steve??... cuz man they ALWAYS slowin me down!!.... ohhhh ill be here all week... thank you .. thank you...
It's the little pro tips that Mee Maw teaches along the way that make these videos so valuable. Who would have thought that you might be better off replacing the whole hub assembly instead of the sensor b/c the slight variation might mean it just won't work. Thank you Eric for watching out for all of us.
Silly little thing, but I never cease to be amazed by the difference in specialty lubricants available since the early 1950s. I would have killed for brakeclean but dad had me cleaning brake drums and parts (What's a rotor?) with denatured alcohol. The best penetrant we had was Liquid Wrench in a squeeze can! Motor oil? We had regular and HD. I remember dad being suspicious of this "multi-vis crap." Straight 30 weight for him.
My Grand Marquis was activating the traction control over 70MPH. Had to keep turning it off. Turns out there was a bunch of rust stuff magnetically attached to the rear sensors. Cleaned them up and no more traction control activation on dry, flat roads.
"Copious amounts of rust." Wow, I had to look that one up. At 63 my vocabulary is still growing! In my case when helping friends, I would have cleaned the front right sensor to be nice. And then, that sensor would have broke and I would have to replace it. No good deed...
Mr. O has the magic touch working on these rusted out vehicles. I'm in Alabama, and I've had to drill out more wheel speed sensors than not. Especially on GM vehicles.
99% of mechanics would have just replaced the sensor and not bother cleaning it. However Eric saved the owner money for items they didn’t need. Well done.
I had a flake of rust that attached itself to the magnetic sensor on a crank sensor. This one mounted in the bell housing that was causing trouble. Beware rust!
30 years ago I was still a diehard Chevy fan, but with what they have done since I stick with Honda and Toyota. Chevy trucks 1994 and back were my era.
Pretty scary to think a safety device can go wrong and actually CAUSE an accident. The people in your shop neighborhood must laugh seeing you drive nine million different cars all the time. Always love your Vids Eric, keep em coming
Yeah sometimes safety devices become the problem especially when technology gets better they become more sensitive and in tern causes more safety issues especially when they fail it could cause braking events not to work As well
A poorly designed and implemented safety control system in the Boeing 737 max jets caused two devastating crashes and untold amounts of negative impact on travel and costs when the rest of the fleet was grounded during the investigation. Boeing tried to cover up the mistake blaming the pilots adding insult to injury.
@@fredflintstone8048 The pilots could have stopped the runaway trim but that was not emphasized in training and was not obvious enough in the handful of seconds the pilots had to stop the planes diving to the ground. Boeing should never have installed the MCAS without dual Angle of Attack sensors. That should never have been an option.
I'm a DIYer with just about everything. Had the same issue with my 2003 Silverado last year. Broke one of sensors trying to get it out. Drilled it out and replaced with aftermarket. Fixed the ABS problem. I guess I got very lucky. Love your videos....Be Well!
I had this problem on my 06 Silverado. The guy I bought it off's mechanic told him it needed an abs module. I replaced both front hub assemblys, and it works great now.
I've always been amazed, in my 70+ years of fixin' stuff, how often a good cleaning and lubrication of a non-working item can restore it to like-new operation. Well done.
Mrs. O has taught you well grasshopper. Thank you for your expertise. Your town is so beautiful, love the part of your video’s when you drive near the shop. God bless. 👍😁
Way to put the customer 1st and not screw them! Your integrity is top-notch. I have always struggled in shops, being the honest, straightforward guy who doesn't want to see customers taken advantage of. Stay safe, and God bless
"You go, girl!" says Mr. O, as he watches the best thing to ever enter his life go to do another mundane task to make his life better. Eric. You're living like a king. A dirty king, but, still a king. And not all comments have to be automotive, you know. 😂😂😂
I just heard someone say: "Never charge people for your time. Instead charge them for you expertise!" Right here is a great example of Expertise. My 2001 Toyota Corolla did the same thing with the ABS kicking in, at a stop, when the pads were really thin.... I replaced the pads and rotors, no more problems.... Well except that the ABS system on a 2001 Corolla was a death sentence even when it was working "perfectly as designed"....
My 2007 Buick Rainier, same chassis as this Trailblazer had this same issue. I realized the hub bearings were about toast. So 2 new TRQ hub bearings. 5K miles later, so far so good.
A Chevy with a traction control light? That's UnPossible! Lol. We had a trailblazer. It was a good truck for a while, but they are kinda aweful. The front end is way under designed. It's like a car front end on a truck.
As always, great thought process and also didn't use the "lady, you gotta have a new hub" fix. But I do wonder why a light duty SUV was designed with 6 lugs considering the crazy penny pinching done on everything else.
I knew my issue was a problem with a wheel speed sensor on my trailblazer. I figured I'd just replace the speed sensors (I was nervous about the shims and though to at least look for videos about the problem) and be done with it. Now I'm gonna check for this issue first. Thank you for giving us shade tree mechanics this tip!
This was so helpful, my trailblazer was doing the same thing and I thought it would cost a lot to fix it, thank you for the free information, you're awesome!!!
I have an 04 Trailblazer, the wife has an 06. Hers has the SensaTrac system, mine does not. I believe 06 is when GM started putting it on the TB's. Another thing that can cause an issue with the SensaTrac system is the steering wheel angle sensor. Again, hers has one, mine does not. Between hers and mine, I've replaced more than one hub/bearing assembly! I've gotten to where I can do it in 45 minutes start to finish, taking my time. TB's are rather maintenance intensive.
I don’t have to deal with much rust anymore, but it is always worth taking the time to check. As Mr. O said, it doesn’t take much rust to skew the signal.
Hi Eric, I had the same issue on my 02 Silverado. I did check both and cleaned both just because my labor is cheap. Was it worth checking the other side?? Good video for us proud CHEVY owners😅😅😅. Keep taking care of your customers. I'm sure they appreciate you and the lovely Mrs. O❤❤
Not for Eric. As he said, those speed sensors are hard to get out without breaking, he was lucky to get that one out. No reason to risk breaking a sensor that is currently working fine, making the customer pay for extra labor or a new sensor/wheel bearing when it isn't necessary. He was hired to fix the current issue and he did that. If it's your vehicle, then it's your risk to take. If you don't have the equipment to determine which is the problem, then I'd say it's probably necessary to check both. Now the customer can watch this video and when/if the other starts acting up they can try to fix it themselves if they wish.
Common on older gm products in my area. A quick down and dirty "fix" just to be able to drive it safely temporarily is to pull the abs maxi fuse. You'll have dash lights, and you won't have abs, but you will have functioning brakes that don't let you roll stoplights. 😁

Buy the hub assembly, whack up the price, add in the flat rate manual charge for replacing it and job done.
I agree, he is in the top 1% in the mechanic world

Absolutely
My son started training to be a mechanic... Like his Grandfather 😊 I've got him watching since March. You are 100% correct!
Another example of the way you make decisions in the customer's interest. Many would have swapped a new OEM sensor and called it a day.

@@mdotguy NO KIDDING, SADLY.
No way
Nobody does that

We appreciate the honesty, Eric. “Don’t fix what ain’t broke” approach serves the customers well.
I appreciate your knowledge and honesty. I do my work myself because of all the dishonesty.
Me too. I’ll probably bolloxed it up but at least I know and can keep trying until it is right.
Same here. I can't afford to keep a shop's parts cannon loaded so I do my own work as well. Partly self reliance, partly saving money where I can.

Another General Motors Vehicle needin repair how surprising lol and another great video from South Main Auto!!!
My 2007 Buick Rainier, same chassis as this Trailblazer had this same issue. I realized the hub bearings were about toast. So 2 new TRQ hub bearings. 5K miles later, so far so good.
Speed sensors are hard to remove without the rust
A Chevy with a traction control light? That's UnPossible! Lol. We had a trailblazer. It was a good truck for a while, but they are kinda aweful. The front end is way under designed. It's like a car front end on a truck.
Not long before its last ride to the scrap yard, its sporting a Black Ice Little Trees air freshener!
The valve stem cap was a nice trick. I have used rubber vacuum caps in the past, but that one, I really like!
The speed sensors in the Trailblazer were a real common problem. Some GM cars have a problem collecting dirt and not working..
I had the same issue with a 07 TB, I elected to just replace the hub assembly, but I am glad to see this simple fix....ty
I knew Eric had solved the problem when he started the test drive because there was only 5 minutes left to the video ;)
