Speaker 2: Harash Gobin from Launch is gonna stop five, we're gonna

Speaker 2: have another scan tool conversation with them, talk a little

24
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 2: bit about aidos and some of the things they're doing

25
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 2: as far as ados and then EVS electric vehicles and

26
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 2: some of the improvements they're making there. They've come out

27
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 2: with a recent kit that allows scan tool functionality to

28
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 2: test EV batteries. So we're going to talk a little

29
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:28,120
Speaker 2: bit about what Launch is doing over there, and I

30
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 2: don't know other things going on this hour. We've we've

31
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 2: got some calls lined up for you. I want to

32
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 2: talk a little bit about the shop and take you

33
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 2: in the shop over at autozonepro dot com. We had

34
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:40,319
Speaker 2: a subrew this week, which, you know, a twenty twelve

35
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 2: subrew that needed exhaust and it's exhaust is a little tedious.

36
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 2: I find there's just an awful lot of parts that

37
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 2: have to be ordered, especially on a suberrew. It seems

38
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 2: like they gobble up parts left, right and sideways. And

39
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 2: it required exhaust front to back. There was you know,

40
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 2: this was a twenty twelve outback and the front exhaust

41
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 2: the catalytic converter with the heat shield on it that

42
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 2: always comes loose and rattles and sounds terrible. It didn't

43
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:08,799
Speaker 2: disappoint on this car. It was doing the same thing.

44
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 2: The cat was still functioning, just the heat shield was

45
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:15,079
Speaker 2: loose and you know, rattling and being obnoxious. So we're

46
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 2: able to tighten that up for the customer. We've got

47
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 2: a method where we wrap some hose clamps around some

48
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 2: critical spots we've identified, and we got rid of the rattler,

49
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 2: probably ninety percent of it, but then the rest of

50
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 2: the exhaust needed to be replaced. Nothing seems nothing, it

51
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 2: seems survives North Jersey winters. And I'm sure if you're

52
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 2: in some part of the country where there's salt and

53
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,919
Speaker 2: snow and the chemicals used to get rid of one

54
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:39,839
Speaker 2: and then the other, your vehicle's.

55
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:41,359
Speaker 1: In the same condition. So you know from what I come.

56
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,839
Speaker 2: You know, there's nothing better than the AutoZone pro dot

57
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 2: com website when it comes to looking up exhaust. You

58
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:49,640
Speaker 2: can get up there, you can look at you know,

59
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 2: bring up the illustration of the exhaust system front to

60
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 2: back and just tag the numbers and order them right online.

61
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 2: Just just makes it so easy. And you know, tip

62
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 2: of the hat to the guy over at AutoZone. They

63
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 2: do a great job. And the AutoZone Pro dot com website. Sure,

64
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,639
Speaker 2: say save this a lot of time. We'll tell you

65
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,920
Speaker 2: a little bit about some drama in the shop. You know,

66
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 2: something you don't like to have to deal with, but

67
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 2: it happens.

68
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 4: Right.

69
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 2: We had a twenty sixteen Honda V six in for

70
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,360
Speaker 2: a timing belt this week and we've been using the

71
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 2: We use the Asian AI s A n A'sen timing

72
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 2: belt kits and they work well. They've you know, in geez,

73
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 2: forty years, I don't think I had I had one

74
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 2: do what it did to me this week. And you know,

75
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 2: the nice thing about the kits is they come complete.

76
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 2: You're buying a water pump, attention or the idler pulley,

77
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 2: you know, whatever components you need to do the job.

78
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 2: Timing belt obviously, and it's a complete kit and it

79
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 2: you know, they're usually great. I guess every once in

80
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 2: a while you're gonna have something go cock eyed, and

81
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:51,839
Speaker 2: this job sure did.

82
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 5: So.

83
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 1: It was getting late in the day.

84
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 2: It was around four o'clock and I was I was

85
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 2: car was scheduled to go in the morning and had

86
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 2: to be ready for nine o'clock the following day. And

87
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 2: I was finishing it up, and you know, I just

88
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 2: started to pour coolant into the radiator, and I hear

89
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 2: trickle trickle, trickle trickle. I hear coolant coming out the

90
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 2: other end, Like, uh, oh, what happened? And I real quick,

91
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 2: you know, lifted it and looked and saw and yeah,

92
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 2: there's coolant coming out from under the time and cover.

93
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 2: You ever see a mechanic take an engine apart, which

94
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 2: you know, normally a couple of hours in about twenty minutes,

95
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 2: I just like, what happened, you know, like why it's

96
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,719
Speaker 2: it's just always like clockwork. They never seemed to be

97
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 2: a problem, and this this time, this time, you know,

98
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:38,720
Speaker 2: I think it's Dandy's fault. Danny came over, said you

99
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 2: almost done? I said yeah, I said it's I said,

100
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 2: these jobs are pretty much running the mill. Isn't that

101
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 2: how Apollo thirteen had its problem?

102
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:45,719
Speaker 5: You know?

103
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 2: I kept thinking about that all afternoon, the rest of

104
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:51,039
Speaker 2: the afternoon. So, uh, you know, quarter after four I

105
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 2: found this out, and by five o'clock I had the

106
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 2: engine stripped out and found what I didn't want to know.

107
00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 2: It turns out that the water pot and if you

108
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 2: ever look at the water pump on the V six

109
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 2: hondas It's just a little rope O ring style gasket.

110
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 2: It had caught on a sharp edge of the casting.

111
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:13,359
Speaker 2: It they didn't manufacture it right and it caught on

112
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 2: the sharp edge and it had actually cut through the

113
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 2: O ring. Was it was strange. Right as we mounted

114
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 2: the water pump to the block. At first I thought

115
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 2: the O ring had worked its way out of the

116
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 2: groove and by tightening it we crushed it. But that

117
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 2: wasn't the case. I was able to pick at a

118
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 2: piece of the casting that hadn't been smoothed properly during

119
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 2: the manufacturing process, and I could see that it was

120
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 2: It had a sharp corner to it. It's kind of strange,

121
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 2: you almost like the casting was unfinished or finished improperly,

122
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 2: and it caught the O ring. And as the O

123
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 2: ring was crushed against the pump in the while it

124
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 2: was in the groove, it split the O ring. The

125
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:57,839
Speaker 2: O ring just split right right in two. And so

126
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,039
Speaker 2: naturally now as I'm putting it together, you know, it

127
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:05,279
Speaker 2: just it just leaked. You know, not a fun time, right,

128
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 2: And and that's part of the drama that goes on

129
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 2: behind the scenes in a repair shop. That's the things

130
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 2: you don't see and it's frustrating, you know, just when

131
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,719
Speaker 2: you think you've seen everything and you know what to

132
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 2: look for in every job or a job that you've

133
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 2: done a hundred times, as they say, you find a

134
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:25,039
Speaker 2: new way to have a problem, or the problem finds

135
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,919
Speaker 2: a new way to have you. And you know, in

136
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 2: the end it worked out. We were able to, you know,

137
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:31,839
Speaker 2: I was able to, you know, we had another gasket

138
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 2: in stock, and we were able to you know, put

139
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:36,840
Speaker 2: it back together and get it out the door on time.

140
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,359
Speaker 2: I left late that night because I just wanted to

141
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,360
Speaker 2: double check and be sure. It was about seven thirty

142
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 2: before I almost eight o'clock before I you know, closed

143
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 2: the doors for the day that day. That was Thursday,

144
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 2: just past week, and you know, just just it happens, right,

145
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 2: I mean, it's it's unfortunate, and I think it's a

146
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 2: statement on the quality of parts or the lack of

147
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,239
Speaker 2: quality on the parts. You have to look at everything,

148
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 2: and I can't help but say and think, because it's

149
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:08,039
Speaker 2: been on my mind the last couple of months, that

150
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 2: it's it's either lack of quality parts or lack of

151
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 2: parts altogether that.

152
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 1: Is going to slowly undo the industry. It's going to

153
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 1: be a problem. It's gonna be a problem for everybody.

154
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 2: You know, We're we're seeing a big, a big change

155
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 2: up in the way. Parts aren't available in a plentiful

156
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 2: supply as they once were. It's it's changed a lot.

157
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 2: Just in the last couple of years. I would say

158
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 2: in the last two years, parts have gotten scarcer. So

159
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 2: it's it's it's an issue, and it's it's one that

160
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 2: I'm not sure how the industry is going to deal

161
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 2: with it if it can, you know, if it can,

162
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 2: if it can overcome it. It seems like we're still

163
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 2: struggling post pandemic now dealing with things. And I think

164
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 2: also the other thing that's putting up against it is

165
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 2: because I've seen I've seen how business has fallen off

166
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 2: in the last four or five months. You know, a

167
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 2: lot of guys are complaining and I'm hearing I'm hearing

168
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 2: things that I haven't heard on in a couple of years.

169
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 2: And it seems, you know, you've fixed all the cars

170
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 2: you're going to fix, you've bought the new cars you're

171
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 2: going to buy, and now you're just driving the car

172
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 2: until the wheels fall off. And it's not necessarily like

173
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 2: there's a lot of money out there right now. It

174
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 2: seems like everybody's struggling, which is kind of interesting. I

175
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 2: see things that I don't normally see. We had someone

176
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:32,719
Speaker 2: in the shop the other day. She wheezed the car

177
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 2: into the parking lot. Literally the tires were on their

178
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:40,559
Speaker 2: last legs. The right rear tire had failed. It was

179
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 2: it was just bald. It wasn't even down to the

180
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 2: tread bar. It wasn't even you know, like it had.

181
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 2: This tire had minutes it came in that it came in.

182
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 2: By the time I got out to look at it,

183
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:55,680
Speaker 2: the tire was on the ground flat and you could

184
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 2: see the split in the side of the tire where

185
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:01,320
Speaker 2: the where the sidewalk meets the tread itself. And you know,

186
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:03,559
Speaker 2: this is somebody we've never seen before. She just came

187
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 2: in looking for help, and we tried to do what

188
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 2: we could for but you could see that she was

189
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:11,200
Speaker 2: literally driving around on four ball tires on a fairly

190
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 2: new car. It was a twenty one or twenty two

191
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 2: Honda Pilot. And I asked her, I said why, and

192
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 2: she said, well, I just you know, we're tight on

193
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 2: money right now. And I said, but you're driving an

194
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:23,439
Speaker 2: unsafe vehicle, you know, when I see people doing that,

195
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:27,079
Speaker 2: When I see vehicles that are unsafe that shouldn't be

196
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:30,440
Speaker 2: on the road and they are. When I see parts

197
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 2: that are normally like clockwork perfect, you just bolt them

198
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 2: in and away you go, And now I have to

199
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 2: look at that again and make sure that that doesn't

200
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 2: happen again. When I find problems with ordering basic everyday parts.

201
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 2: When I find cars that require, you know, seatbelts, for

202
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,080
Speaker 2: the airbag light not to come on that in order

203
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:49,960
Speaker 2: for them to be safe and past state inspection and

204
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 2: those parts are gone, those are all signs of change.

205
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:56,080
Speaker 2: Those are all signs of you know, something's evolving, and

206
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 2: I don't think it's necessarily evolving in a good way.

207
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:01,320
Speaker 2: So you know, more things we'll be aware of and

208
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:03,320
Speaker 2: things we're gonna watch for you. I'm Ron an eighty

Speaker 2: We'll call you back and get you in for the

229
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 2: next live broadcast. Let's go over to Bob and Elmira,

230
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:00,679
Speaker 2: New York. Bob, Welcome to the Car Doctor, sir. How

231
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 2: can I help?

232
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 4: Hey, Ron? So, I have a twenty fifteen taoticamer XSC

233
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:11,560
Speaker 4: and it has a tire monitoring system where I can

234
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:15,320
Speaker 4: see the pressure on the dashboard on each of the tires.

235
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:19,200
Speaker 4: Normally it works fine, but this past winter I had

236
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 4: problems where the system would not show me the individual

237
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:25,559
Speaker 4: tire pressure wouldn't show me any problems on the dashboard either.

238
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:30,319
Speaker 4: No indicators of yellow lights are similar. But one day

239
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 4: I was driving home and I saw you light, come on,

240
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 4: tell me the tire pressure monitoring system was faulty and

241
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 4: everything you know? It was up yellow on my dashboard.

242
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 4: So I pulled codes on it. I have a scan tool.

243
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:47,440
Speaker 4: I pulled the codes and I got A U zero

244
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:51,680
Speaker 4: zero seven to three A U zero one four zero,

245
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 4: A B one five zero A and A B one

246
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 4: three two four all in history. They weren't active codes.

247
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 4: Those are just before codes I pulled in history. I

248
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:05,440
Speaker 4: don't know if they're related or not. But I'm trying

249
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 4: to figure out where do I go from here to

250
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:09,839
Speaker 4: try to troubleshoot this because now it's working fine.

251
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 1: Right? Are are they the original tire.

252
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 2: Pressure sensors in this nine year old Toyota Bob?

253
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:18,080
Speaker 4: I believe they are ron.

254
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 2: Okay, So then my next comment would be, or next

255
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:25,199
Speaker 2: question would be, did you notice it more in cold weather?

256
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 2: In extreme cold and as the weather got warmer it

257
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 2: seemed to get less frequent.

258
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:33,720
Speaker 4: I think that's what it is. Since we're now getting

259
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 4: into the forties and fifties, I think it is temperature related, right.

260
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 4: I think when it was really cold in the teens

261
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 4: the low twenties is when I was seeing the slowness.

262
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:48,080
Speaker 4: Even when it did work, it took longer to display

263
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 4: the pressures. Now it's coming up instantaneously.

264
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 2: Okay, I you know, I always as a first step,

265
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:56,439
Speaker 2: So the next time you go out to purchase tires, Bob,

266
00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:58,560
Speaker 2: put four sensors in the car. Might have to put

267
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:00,960
Speaker 2: five sensors in the car. This might be five censor car.

268
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:01,960
Speaker 1: There might be.

269
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:05,440
Speaker 2: You know, toyotas tend to put sensors in the spare,

270
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 2: so you want to check that. I've given up trying

271
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:10,200
Speaker 2: to come up with the year making model where it

272
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 2: is and it isn't. So I just tell everybody just

273
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 2: just check the tire, Just check the spare. If it's

274
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 2: a full sized spare, look at the stem. Chances are

275
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 2: it's going to be it's going to have a tire

276
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 2: pressure sensor in it. So you always want to make

277
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 2: sure that. But something nine years old, you know, you

278
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 2: start to notice in cold weather that's when the battery

279
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 2: is taxed because all it is, it's just a little

280
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 2: lithium battery. It's not this huge uh, you know, it's

281
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 2: not a lot of technology there, and it would not

282
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:38,080
Speaker 2: be uncommon for them to be starting to fail, especially

283
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:42,079
Speaker 2: in cooler weather first signs first problem issues. So next

284
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,719
Speaker 2: time you put tires on it, you know, consider replacing

285
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:47,199
Speaker 2: the tire pressure sensors and just.

286
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 1: Get over it that way. You know.

287
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 2: Keep in mind too that using your scan tool, you

288
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,720
Speaker 2: will not be able to see and I'm assuming here

289
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:57,960
Speaker 2: your scan tool. Will it get into the tire pressure

290
00:13:58,000 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 2: monitoring system? Can you go in and look at the

291
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:01,600
Speaker 2: registered IDs and things like that?

292
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,200
Speaker 1: Have you tried so you can't? Okay?

293
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 2: Uh, you know if you can do that, but you

294
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:08,439
Speaker 2: probably can't measure battery strength.

295
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:11,080
Speaker 4: I will see that when I look at mine. I

296
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 4: have a I don't have here. It's not wanted to

297
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 4: your company. That is battery voltage coming up on this way.

298
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 4: I just I can see the individual registration codes for

299
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 4: each each of the right.

300
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 2: I don't think you'll see battery voltage via scan tool

301
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 2: in that year vehicle, So you need to you know,

302
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 2: now you need to go out and buy another tool, bob,

303
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 2: uh something something that just reads the tire pressure sensor

304
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 2: voltage is uh, you know, a tire pressure tool, which

305
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 2: they're out there. I mean they're cheap enough too, but

306
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 2: you know, I can also tell you that for the

307
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 2: amount of times you're gonna you're gonna change them or

308
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 2: you know, have to look at it. You know, just

309
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 2: just just just put sensors in it. But my guess

310
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 2: would be that if the next time it happens, you know,

311
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 2: you notice it's extreme cold weather, chances are it's it's

312
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 2: you know, it's sensors too. I mean, you could take

313
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 2: the sensors out of the you know, we could go

314
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 2: through the pain of taking the sensors, dismount the tire,

315
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 2: take the sensor out, put it in the freezer, and

316
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 2: you know, cool it down and then notice, do we

317
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 2: still get a reading out of it? But we're kind

318
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 2: of going the extreme way around the barn to make

319
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 2: the point.

320
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, for a nine year old part, I think it

321
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 4: makes more sense just because tires are coming up for

322
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 4: replacement anyway, I'll just do it at the same time.

323
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 4: So the question I had as a follow up is

324
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 4: can I put the scan toll on while the car

325
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 4: is running next time this happens, or sure I only

326
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 4: be doing the scan toll on with me.

327
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 2: Now you can unless your scan tool, as long as

328
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 2: your scan tool doesn't issue or flash a warning. And

329
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 2: this is not just TPMs, this is this is anything.

330
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 2: You know, if you notice whenever you log into or

331
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 2: I'll say it like this, when we log into vehicles

332
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 2: via scan tool, it will say vehicle must be running

333
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 2: or vehicle cannot be running. Vehicle can be running or off.

334
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 2: It will tell us either way depending upon what system

335
00:15:57,440 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 2: we're getting into.

336
00:15:58,760 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 1: You know, for the.

337
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 2: Most part, what you're trying to do at your level,

338
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 2: you can get in vehicle on as long as the

339
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 2: skin tool doesn't warn you otherwise, and you can look

340
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 2: at your data stream and you know, look to see

341
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 2: what you can see, and you're you're not going to

342
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 2: have an issue.

343
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 1: You're not going to make code, You're not going to

344
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 1: make lights go off. You'r yeah, you might.

345
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 2: You might trip lights, but that's because the tool is

346
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 2: accessing information on the on the network and it's going

347
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 2: to cause those lights. And then once you disconnect the tool,

348
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 2: the lights will go away anyway. But you know, follow

349
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 2: your tools guidelines whatever your tool says. But chances are

350
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 2: you're fine. You know what you're going to find is

351
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 2: now let me ask you this question. Can you retire

352
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 2: pressure will your tool will your tool report tire pressure?

353
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 1: Yes?

354
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 2: Okay, so and does your tools tire pressure that it reports.

355
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 2: Does it match what you physically have with a gauge

356
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 2: at the tire?

357
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 4: It does? Okay, they're accurate. Okay, the reporting of the

358
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 4: scan tool and my tire pressure.

359
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 1: With Okay, But yeah, you can.

360
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 2: You can connect to while the vehicle's running, as long

361
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 2: as you're as long as the scan tool manufacturer doesn't

362
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:07,199
Speaker 2: disallow it, you'll be fine. And then you know, you

363
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 2: may want to consider is that a rubber stem TPMs

364
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 2: sensor or is it a metal stem?

365
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:15,400
Speaker 1: Should be a rubber I believe it is rubber. Yeah,

366
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 1: he's a rubber, you.

367
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 2: Know because by now the nine year olds metal ones,

368
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:22,640
Speaker 2: and you know, just to mention that for everybody else's benefit,

369
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:27,440
Speaker 2: is the metal stem TPMs sensors by now have corroded

370
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:30,399
Speaker 2: so badly that they're leaking, So they're probably the source

371
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 2: of that. Gee, I have this mysterious tire leak that

372
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:33,880
Speaker 2: I get every once in a while, and I get

373
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 2: a warning light. Do you ever get a warning light, Bob?

374
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:37,920
Speaker 2: Do you ever get in the car in a cold

375
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 2: morning and see the yellow TPMs warning light on the dashboard?

376
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:41,719
Speaker 1: Has that ever come on?

377
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 4: I do not know, But when I've actually checked the

378
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:51,920
Speaker 4: pressure itself, when the system was offline not reporting pressure,

379
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 4: it was fine. So I'm pretty good at maintaining the

380
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 4: pressure of the tires, so it hasn't been a low

381
00:17:57,880 --> 00:17:59,160
Speaker 4: pressure issue, got it.

382
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:01,359
Speaker 1: But yeah, that's what I would do.

383
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 2: I would, I would, you know, replace the censors is

384
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:05,160
Speaker 2: a good starting point.

385
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:08,119
Speaker 1: Check the spare and I bet you'll be okay and

386
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:12,400
Speaker 1: you can go from there. All right, sir, You're very welcome. Bob.

387
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 1: I'm on a eding in the Car Doctor. We're back

388
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 1: right after this. I'm going.

389
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:45,400
Speaker 2: Welcome back listeners want a naming the car Doctor. Our

390
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 2: next guest is no stranger to the Car Doctor. We're

391
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:50,679
Speaker 2: always excited to have him back, as well as all

392
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 2: the folks from Launch Launch Scam Tools Haresh Gob and

393
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:55,560
Speaker 2: he's been here before, he'll be here again and it's

394
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 2: always a pleasure, sir, Welcome back, Koresh.

395
00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 1: How are you today, Ron.

396
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 5: I'm here well, thank you for having me once again.

397
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 5: How are you doing?

398
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 1: But we're great, you know what.

399
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:05,639
Speaker 2: We have great days, great weeks, and we get the

400
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 2: fixed cars every day, so things are doing well.

401
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, I hear you.

402
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:13,360
Speaker 2: I want to talk at the end of this conversation.

403
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:15,720
Speaker 2: I want to get into electric vehicles, and everybody out

404
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 2: there just went electric vehicles and scan tools. Yeah, but

405
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:19,639
Speaker 2: I want to talk a little bit about scan tools

406
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:20,200
Speaker 2: in the beginning.

407
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:21,399
Speaker 1: You know, I want to do it. Let's do a

408
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 1: quick review scan tools.

409
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:27,440
Speaker 2: Let's let's talk basics, right, you know, what are they?

410
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:27,920
Speaker 1: What?

411
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:30,159
Speaker 2: What's the purpose of a scan tool as we know

412
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 2: it up to this point in time.

413
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 5: Absolutely, Well, we llt'stig a little history lesson. And you

414
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 5: remember in the nineteen seventies and eighties, I believe there

415
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 5: is the advent of the can CAN network on vehicles, right,

416
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 5: and those were the early networks that housed engine computer

417
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 5: or transition computer and maybe ABS module. So it's not

418
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 5: as complicated as they are today. So at that time,

419
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:01,479
Speaker 5: with the advent of the after the carburetor days and

420
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 5: when cars went to we're coming towards fuel injection, the OBED,

421
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 5: the OBED port came out and manufacturers all started to

422
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:12,680
Speaker 5: implement an OBED port. So in the beginning, there were

423
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 5: there was no standardization. There was many different like connectors

424
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 5: and many different ports. Everyone was kind of doing their

425
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 5: own thing in terms of the manufacturers. As we as

426
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:25,360
Speaker 5: the time went on, it was standardized to a sixteen

427
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:29,640
Speaker 5: pin obed port. So scan tools, a scan tool can

428
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:32,440
Speaker 5: be a simple device that plugs in a handheld device

429
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:35,960
Speaker 5: that plugs into that port and basically identifies some information

430
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:40,360
Speaker 5: from the vehicles can network such as trouble codes or

431
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:45,200
Speaker 5: any kind of data, and that would be a simple device,

432
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 5: a simple scan tool device. Now and today in most

433
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 5: shops across America have something called an bidirectional scan tool,

434
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 5: and this would they're mostly aftermarket brands such as ourselves

435
00:20:56,600 --> 00:21:01,119
Speaker 5: and many other different brands out there. But a bi

436
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:04,280
Speaker 5: directional scan tool is a little more capable of than

437
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 5: that handheld DIY tool. So the bi directional scan tool

438
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:11,359
Speaker 5: is going to be able to send information also receive

439
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:14,960
Speaker 5: information back. So there are some functions that are called

440
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 5: special functions that they would be able to maybe change

441
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 5: the parameters of the lights, how long the lights stay

442
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 5: on after you close the door. That would be considered

443
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:28,400
Speaker 5: a bi directional function. So with that said, the more

444
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:31,679
Speaker 5: advanced scan tools such as the birectional tools that we're

445
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 5: referring to, are in most shops. Most master technicians and

446
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 5: most technicians that they cannot survive in a shop environment

447
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:44,240
Speaker 5: working on various makes and models of vehicles without a

448
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:46,920
Speaker 5: bi directional scan tool. That bi directional scan tool is

449
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:52,200
Speaker 5: fully capable of identifying and the faults with very relevant

450
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 5: information such as live data, graphing, topology functions. Some of

451
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 5: the scan tools even have the DABASE informatics resources that's

452
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:06,240
Speaker 5: linked up when you cross reference with the OEM databases

453
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:09,439
Speaker 5: in terms of specifications of what that vehicle needs to

454
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:10,639
Speaker 5: be at, where it needs to be at, and how

455
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:11,960
Speaker 5: need to see runnymore.

456
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:15,920
Speaker 2: So, suffice it to say, a scan tool is that interface, right,

457
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,679
Speaker 2: It's I want to talk to this car, and this

458
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:20,360
Speaker 2: is the device that's going to do it. It's going

459
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:23,719
Speaker 2: to go in, it's going to query all the computers,

460
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:27,439
Speaker 2: all the modules that are on the data bus, and

461
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:29,639
Speaker 2: it's going to come back to me with information a

462
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:31,959
Speaker 2: good clean bill of health or you know, we're going

463
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,439
Speaker 2: to look at it in topology.

464
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 1: Which launch does.

465
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:37,399
Speaker 2: Right. You guys display If there's thirty eight computers in

466
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:39,200
Speaker 2: the vehicle, you guys will display them all on a

467
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 2: screen and they'll change color. You know, the healthy ones

468
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:45,280
Speaker 2: are green, the ones that have codes might be read

469
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:47,120
Speaker 2: or yellow, and so on and so forth.

470
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 1: It's an interface.

471
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:52,880
Speaker 5: Absolutely, because it's very imperative and it's very critical that's

472
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:57,680
Speaker 5: a technician that's working on your vehicle knows in a

473
00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:01,360
Speaker 5: jiffy what your vehicle is equiped with, how many different modules,

474
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:04,119
Speaker 5: what type of technology, So that way they're able to

475
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 5: plan their path of diagnostics to the particular complaint that

476
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:11,240
Speaker 5: the car came in for and identified that their issue

477
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 5: accurately and concisely, and you know, get on the road

478
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:16,000
Speaker 5: to repairing it.

479
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:20,879
Speaker 2: You used a word before graphing. What what do you

480
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 2: mean by I mean? I know what you mean, but

481
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 2: I want you to explain to the listeners what we

482
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:26,120
Speaker 2: know graphings a term.

483
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 1: What does graphing mean?

484
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 2: What's the value of graphing versus looking at a digital number.

485
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 2: Let's say I'm working on a vehicle I'm looking at

486
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:38,399
Speaker 2: I'm looking at a throttle position sensor that works on

487
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 2: a zero to five volt scale, and as I accelerate,

488
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:44,400
Speaker 2: I'll see that I'll see that digital number change from

489
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:47,239
Speaker 2: zero point two point three point four and count all

490
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 2: the way up to five volts if I'm going wide

491
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:52,480
Speaker 2: open acceleration. What's the difference between looking at it as

492
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 2: a digital number versus graphing? Is is there an advantage

493
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:57,200
Speaker 2: to graphing a value.

494
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:02,639
Speaker 5: Absolutely run only to doctor can ask such a relevant question.

495
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 5: You're putting me on the chopping block here, but I'll

496
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 5: try to answer it to the best, say cand So

497
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 5: let's let's take another one more history of lesson back

498
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 5: ten to fifteen years ago. If the car had an

499
00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:21,480
Speaker 5: issue that the technicians that were working on the car

500
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:27,119
Speaker 5: mostly had the diagnostic trouble code, the code the DTC

501
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:30,879
Speaker 5: fault to go off. And what was happening is, in

502
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 5: the past, there was a lot of parts swapping going on.

503
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:37,159
Speaker 5: So let's talk about that TPS illustration you escaped. So

504
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:40,400
Speaker 5: let's say that there was a TPS code. The pathway

505
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:43,480
Speaker 5: to kind of addressing that in the past would have been, Hey,

506
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 5: let's call up our local parts guy and let's get

507
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 5: another TPS ensor and throw them in here, and you know,

508
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 5: send the customer on the way. So what started to

509
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 5: happen is and you brought up you I'll bring up

510
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 5: I'll point out you brought up a very good key

511
00:24:55,840 --> 00:25:00,959
Speaker 5: where their voltage that TPS sensor is could have an

512
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:04,880
Speaker 5: intermittent fault that it couldnot have that it's not necessarily

513
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 5: to feel the center. It could have been an electrical issue,

514
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:12,200
Speaker 5: right so that's the value of graphics, live data and graphs.

515
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:16,119
Speaker 5: They offer more real time insights into what's happening with

516
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 5: the vehicle. That aids in the diagnostics.

517
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 2: If a voltage signal is dropping out, the scan tool

518
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:26,359
Speaker 2: is going to catch it and display it so that

519
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:28,040
Speaker 2: our eye can see. You know, one of the things

520
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 2: people don't realize is the human eye can only interpret

521
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:35,920
Speaker 2: so many pieces of data per second, whereas a scan

522
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:39,080
Speaker 2: tool is much faster. And I've proven this, and I've

523
00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:42,120
Speaker 2: seen this proven time and time again. You'll take you'll

524
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 2: take cases with a voltage measurement with a digital vaultometer,

525
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 2: the best in the world, and it won't catch the glitch.

526
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 2: But if you put a scan tool on that and

527
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:55,240
Speaker 2: watch it, you'll see the glitch. By looking at the graph,

528
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:58,000
Speaker 2: you'll see the signal drop out because the scan tool

529
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 2: is faster than your eye, absolutely and that catches it.

530
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:05,200
Speaker 2: So you know, if we're going to graph, I get it,

531
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:06,919
Speaker 2: and we want to graph. We want to look at

532
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 2: values that way. So is the physical size of a

533
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:14,440
Speaker 2: scan tool a good indicator of its ability to graph

534
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 2: and do all the other functions? You know, do we

535
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:18,480
Speaker 2: want to buy a small scan tool, A big scan tool.

536
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 2: How do we determine it? What are we looking for?

537
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:25,439
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, it does matter because I'll refer back to

538
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:30,840
Speaker 5: our launch X FOURT thirty one professional scan tool line.

539
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:34,719
Speaker 5: The flagship tool at the top of that mountain on

540
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 5: our line, our flagship scan tool is the Throttle three

541
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 5: and that has a thirteen point three inch screen. So

542
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:44,600
Speaker 5: that would be like, you know, a paradise in terms

543
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:48,679
Speaker 5: of like viewing the information for the technician on the screen,

544
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 5: so they'll be able to look at the graph a

545
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 5: lot more accurately and just just be a little more

546
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:58,199
Speaker 5: comfortable in the analysis. At the same time, you wouldn't

547
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 5: want to graph. There are little handheld tools with smaller

548
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:06,520
Speaker 5: discreen smaller display screens out there that maybe they propagate

549
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 5: that they're there, that scan tour, that tool has ability

550
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 5: to graph, but I would advise against that because you know,

551
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:16,280
Speaker 5: you won't be able to find the right analysis on

552
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:19,159
Speaker 5: a smaller, smaller screen. It doesn't have to be a

553
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 5: thirteen point three inch screen. We have other scan tools

554
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:25,680
Speaker 5: on our lines in our diagnostic line that is about

555
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:28,080
Speaker 5: six as seven inches and that also would suffice.

556
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 2: But suffice it to say that the scan tool we're

557
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:35,160
Speaker 2: looking for it's not so much the physical size, right,

558
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 2: We're looking for memory and processor speed and capability as well, right.

559
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:45,879
Speaker 5: Yes, absolutely, recuring back to our Launch Throttle three, our

560
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:49,320
Speaker 5: flagship tool for example, that has a memory that's of

561
00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:51,720
Speaker 5: a goliath, that's two hundred and fifty six gigabytes of

562
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:55,480
Speaker 5: storage and eight gigabytes of memory. That's more than enough

563
00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:58,240
Speaker 5: to be efficient, you know, in connecting to the equal

564
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 5: and accurately pulling out the day for a data analysis

565
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 5: and live graph graphing.

566
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:06,159
Speaker 2: Well, because graphing with a tool with less memory or

567
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 2: slower memory or slower processor may not be as effective

568
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:11,919
Speaker 2: as graphing with a tool that's got top of the

569
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:14,679
Speaker 2: line memory and top of the line processor. Yep, I

570
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:16,960
Speaker 2: get it, Hey, hare Esh, you know I want to

571
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 2: pull over and take a pause. When we come back,

572
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:21,640
Speaker 2: I want to talk about electric vehicles in the marketplace

573
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:25,680
Speaker 2: and how the need for scan tool was created as

574
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 2: a result, and I want to talk a little bit

575
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:31,399
Speaker 2: about launching their first to market EV scan tool capability.

576
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:33,120
Speaker 2: So sit tight, I'm ronning Indian in the Card Doctor

577
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:36,919
Speaker 2: or we're here with Harsh Cobn of Launch Lunch Diagnostics.

578
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 2: We'll both be back, right after this, don't go away

579
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:49,520
Speaker 2: running back Ron an Indian, the card doctor.

580
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 1: I'm here with Harash Gobin who's giving us as time today.

581
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:56,080
Speaker 2: We appreciated Harrash Launch scan tools talking about you know,

582
00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 2: scan tools and doing a little bit of a deeper

583
00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:01,080
Speaker 2: dive than we normally do. We hould away for the pause.

584
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 2: You know, I mentioned that EV's in the marketplace electric vehicles.

585
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 2: There's now a demand and a necessity for a a

586
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 2: an electric vehicle scan tool, and Launch is first to

587
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:17,720
Speaker 2: market with this capability, and I wanted to talk a

588
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:18,360
Speaker 2: little bit about it.

589
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 1: I don't want to go into.

590
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 2: You know, I know, Harash, that you've got you you've

591
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:26,120
Speaker 2: developed some tools, bench testing tools where the batteries out

592
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 2: of the vehicle and we're going to test those components

593
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:31,760
Speaker 2: on the bench. I want to talk about there's an

594
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:35,120
Speaker 2: EV add on kit that you have that you've developed,

595
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:36,200
Speaker 2: and I want to talk a little bit aout what

596
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 2: it took to develop that and that works specifically with

597
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:43,120
Speaker 2: the Launch scan tools for on the vehicle diagnostics. Am

598
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:43,920
Speaker 2: I saying that right? Right?

599
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:45,320
Speaker 1: Is that a fair explanation?

600
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:51,320
Speaker 5: Absolutely? Absolutely? It's uh we're referring it in the product,

601
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 5: referring to the product as an EV add on kit

602
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 5: for the diagnostics cancel, the launch diagnostics cantol.

603
00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:04,680
Speaker 2: Right, and and that kit as as an interface allows

604
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:08,000
Speaker 2: the technician to do what what sort of testing or

605
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 2: what things can he look at with that add on kit.

606
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:11,240
Speaker 1: What's there to look at in an EV?

607
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 2: You would think it's just a giant battery in a computer, right, correct.

608
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:19,560
Speaker 5: But there's a lot of important information on the EV

609
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:22,160
Speaker 5: that the ad ont kit's going to be able to

610
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:24,239
Speaker 5: give the technician. So they're going to be able to

611
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 5: identify battery pack information such as how many battery packs

612
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:32,160
Speaker 5: or modules are in that vehicle, the state of charge

613
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 5: of the battery packs, the state of health of the

614
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 5: battery packs, the temperature which is very important, single cell

615
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:40,840
Speaker 5: voltage readings and on the temperature of each cells, so

616
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:43,640
Speaker 5: very very critical information to see if you have a

617
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 5: faulty battery, which could be like a hazard. Right, this

618
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 5: is EV technology, is new technology, so yeah, very relevant

619
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 5: information for the technician.

620
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 2: And shot, I mean they had to the powers that

621
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:57,760
Speaker 2: be at Launched, yourself and Harlan and you know, you

622
00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:00,280
Speaker 2: guys all sat down and talked about this. You know,

623
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:04,120
Speaker 2: it had to be a major cash commitment, right, I

624
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:06,000
Speaker 2: mean to develop. This isn't something that had just come

625
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:08,440
Speaker 2: up with overnight to be able to work on evs.

626
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:11,280
Speaker 2: How long has this program been in effect? And you know,

627
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:13,400
Speaker 2: where do you see it going? Is it is it growing?

628
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:15,600
Speaker 2: Is it going to expand you think as the demand

629
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:16,560
Speaker 2: for EV's goes up?

630
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 5: Absolutely, you know wonder philosophies here at launches were very

631
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:26,840
Speaker 5: ambitious and forward progressing in terms of we are ultimately

632
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:30,040
Speaker 5: committed to the car entusis the automotive aftermarket, the independent

633
00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:32,960
Speaker 5: shops across America. So with that said, our R and

634
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:39,240
Speaker 5: D campaigns are they usually they start pretty pretty well

635
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:43,120
Speaker 5: in then in advance. So yeah, we've been divulging into

636
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 5: this area because we see that evs are being driven

637
00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:52,680
Speaker 5: across America. There's a lot of different OEM manufacturers that

638
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:56,000
Speaker 5: are offering new models in their in their people lines now.

639
00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 5: So we felt it was really important.

640
00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 2: This this ev diagnosed the kit in our last minute

641
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:05,120
Speaker 2: and a half harrash. This is a standalone kit or

642
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:07,440
Speaker 2: does this work with an existing launch scan tool?

643
00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:11,200
Speaker 5: So it's a standalone kit that the technician or the

644
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:15,520
Speaker 5: shop purchases and invest in, and it can be it

645
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:18,160
Speaker 5: can be paired with their Launch X fort thirty wins

646
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:21,280
Speaker 5: scan tool. Anyone of to launch X for thirty win scancel, gotcha.

647
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:24,640
Speaker 1: So it's it's not necessarily a complete scan tool.

648
00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 2: It's it's it's it's it's a it's cables and adapters

649
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:29,520
Speaker 2: to yeah, to interface with EVAs.

650
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:33,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a kit with non standard battery pack connectors,

651
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:37,240
Speaker 5: jupper cables. And I'm sixteen ten of OBIDI diagnostics.

652
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 2: And then I guess, I guess as the ev changes,

653
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:43,120
Speaker 2: is the batteries change, as the electrical demands change, we

654
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:45,080
Speaker 2: can change the cables, we can change the kit, we

655
00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:47,120
Speaker 2: can update software in the scan tool, and we're good

656
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:47,280
Speaker 2: to go.

657
00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:52,840
Speaker 5: Correct. Yeah, And we're very We're on the We're always

658
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 5: like looking at the market in terms of what what

659
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 5: the OEMs are doing, and you know, if they're changing ports,

660
00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:00,520
Speaker 5: and you know, we always repivot and offer that.

661
00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:00,840

Speaker 2: launch tech USA dot com for stop them buy I'm

678
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:57,440
Speaker 2: interesting right, They've developed an add on to existing scan

679
00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:00,200
Speaker 2: tools so they can already have the capability to on

680
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 2: electric vehicles. It shows the demand. And uh, you know

681
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:05,760
Speaker 2: one thing I've learned in order repair all these years

682
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:10,000
Speaker 2: is there's always another tool to buy. You know, you're

683
00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:12,120
Speaker 2: you're never going to stop buying tools as long as

684
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:14,480
Speaker 2: you're in it. And I guess, I guess Harrash is

685
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:16,799
Speaker 2: just proving that fact now with scan tool add ons

686
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:19,440
Speaker 2: for electric vehicles and the testings that you have to

687
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:21,800
Speaker 2: do to a battery. And that's good, right, because we

688
00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:24,160
Speaker 2: want to be we want to be ready for, you know,

689
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:27,600
Speaker 2: whatever comes our way. It seems like it's in always

690
00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:31,359
Speaker 2: evolving doorway. You know that you're always trying to pass

691
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:33,880
Speaker 2: through to get to the other side, and even the basics, right,

692
00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:37,680
Speaker 2: I can't tell you. For some reason, in the last

693
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:39,960
Speaker 2: seven months, I've bought a couple of wrench sets. You

694
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:43,520
Speaker 2: would think I've got every thirteen millimeter metric set, fifteen

695
00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:45,439
Speaker 2: millimeter rench set, et cetera.

696
00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:48,400
Speaker 1: But you know, they keep coming out.

697
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 2: With different styles, different flexibility, different lengths, and you're just

698
00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:55,600
Speaker 2: we're just always expanding and always evolving. There's never a

699
00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:57,520
Speaker 2: shortage of tools that you're going to need to buy.

700
00:34:57,600 --> 00:35:01,120
Speaker 2: As cars continue to evolve, and whether it's electronics like

701
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:03,320
Speaker 2: what they're doing with like what Launch is doing with

702
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:07,520
Speaker 2: electric vehicles, or what they're doing with hand tools, there's always.

703
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:09,560
Speaker 1: Something else to buy. Hey, it's been a great hour.

704
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:10,839
Speaker 1: I want to thank you for stopping buying.

705
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:12,399
Speaker 2: I want to remind you till the next time I'm

00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:15,880
Speaker 2: mominating in the car doctor, the mechanics aren't expensive, they're priceless.

707
00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:16,279
