1 00:00:01,560 --> 00:00:04,520 Speaker 1: Ronanian's not for lack of trying. It's not for lack 2 00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:07,400 Speaker 1: of ability, It's not for lack of equipment. It's because 3 00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:09,480 Speaker 1: of what we're working on that we've got to get 4 00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:13,480 Speaker 1: as close as we can to a solution and then go, Okay, 5 00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:27,120 Speaker 1: it's this or it's that this is more likely The 6 00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:28,040 Speaker 1: Car Doctor. 7 00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:31,240 Speaker 2: I live in the real world where men sell propane 8 00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:32,800 Speaker 2: and propane accessories. 9 00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:34,760 Speaker 1: Now, when I open up your propane, I'm going to 10 00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:37,279 Speaker 1: open it up slow, realizing that of something backfires, I've 11 00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:41,479 Speaker 1: got a hammernad of my in. Okay, the Dangers of 12 00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:42,040 Speaker 1: order repair. 13 00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:46,200 Speaker 3: Brother. Welcome to the radio home of Ronanania, the Car Doctor. 14 00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:49,559 Speaker 3: Since nineteen ninety one, this is where car owners the 15 00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:53,920 Speaker 3: world overturned to for their definitive opinion on automotive repair. 16 00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:57,160 Speaker 3: If your mechanics giving you a busy signal, pick up 17 00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:58,480 Speaker 3: the phone and call in. 18 00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:01,520 Speaker 1: The garage doors are opening, but I am here to 19 00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:04,240 Speaker 1: take your calls at eight five five five six ninety 20 00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:11,040 Speaker 1: nine hundred and now pee running once again, the innubitable 21 00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:13,440 Speaker 1: off an imitator, never duplicated one and only no bolgonea 22 00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:15,399 Speaker 1: not a phony. Tom Ray gets me in the open 23 00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:18,399 Speaker 1: with we sell pro paint accessories. Well, it is because 24 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:20,360 Speaker 1: pro pain is dangerous when you use. But you know 25 00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:22,919 Speaker 1: it's only Tom could come up with that and open 26 00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,680 Speaker 1: just some opening comments speaking of opens this to us 27 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 1: from Research Kathy. We haven't heard from Research Kafe in 28 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:30,680 Speaker 1: a while. We're not sure what she's been doing. She's 29 00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:34,120 Speaker 1: been slacking, and she's got an article in front of 30 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:37,160 Speaker 1: me here. You know, it's amazing the things that people 31 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:39,440 Speaker 1: actually write stories about. Is it okay to wait until 32 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:42,039 Speaker 1: the fuel light comes on before stopping for gas? Sure, 33 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:43,880 Speaker 1: you can do anything you want. You can get stuck 34 00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 1: anywhere you want, You do whatever you want. It doesn't 35 00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,680 Speaker 1: matter to me. I say this all the time. You 36 00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,920 Speaker 1: can't imagine how many cars come into the shop and 37 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:55,200 Speaker 1: you know it's there for some sort of diagnosis or 38 00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:59,639 Speaker 1: just normal service. Thirty nine miles to empty, twelve miles 39 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,240 Speaker 1: till empty, the yellow lights on them, the gauge is 40 00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:07,160 Speaker 1: bent around past the e and you know, listen, you 41 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 1: know what, if you're going below a quarter of a 42 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 1: tank on a consistent basis, it's not great for that, 43 00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:13,919 Speaker 1: it's not great for the fuel pump. Because I'm only 44 00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 1: gonna say this, well, I'll say it once and then 45 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:17,680 Speaker 1: I'll say it. I won't say it again until I 46 00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:21,639 Speaker 1: need to. But an electric fuel pump is cooled by gasoline. 47 00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:23,840 Speaker 1: It is cooled by liquid. It is the liquid around 48 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 1: it that keeps it cool. The cooler you keep it, 49 00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:28,680 Speaker 1: the longer it's gonna last. Studies show that you know 50 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:32,200 Speaker 1: that pump that's gonna run cooler on a consistent basis 51 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,520 Speaker 1: delivers better performance in a longer lifetime. But yet somebody 52 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:37,320 Speaker 1: wrote an article, is it best to head to the 53 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,079 Speaker 1: pump before the it's best to head to the gas 54 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:43,079 Speaker 1: pump before the fuel light comes on? Maybe why? And 55 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 1: that's the truth. The article then goes on to say. 56 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 1: Then it talks about that you never know when you're 57 00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:49,600 Speaker 1: gonna get stuck. You never know when traffic jams are 58 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 1: gonna happen. Right, there's a lot of things that go wrong. 59 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,680 Speaker 1: So you know what, get gas? Start looking at a 60 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:57,720 Speaker 1: half tank, half gas in the tank by quarter tank 61 00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 1: problem solved. We don't need to write articles to fill 62 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,200 Speaker 1: magazines that nobody wants to read anyway. So let's just 63 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,040 Speaker 1: think of it like that. Just articles on when to 64 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 1: put gas in a card to me is so obvious, 65 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:11,800 Speaker 1: it's anyway but it's nice to hear from Kathy, right. 66 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,640 Speaker 1: At least we know she's out there and alive. Let's uh, 67 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 1: let's go over to Robin in Maine with a sixteen Fiesta. 68 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:22,280 Speaker 1: We're having a fiesta, yay, and I'll see what's going 69 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 1: on here, Robin. Welcome to the car doctor. How can 70 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 1: I help. 71 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:32,920 Speaker 4: Hi? Ron? Thanks sir? Yeah, my sixteen Fiesta is deciding 72 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 4: that it doesn't like to start every day. 73 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:35,800 Speaker 1: Okay. 74 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 4: Battery, dead battery. 75 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 1: No fest of us. So okay, So it's got a 76 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:45,160 Speaker 1: dead battery. Has anybody tried to diagnose this sounds? You know? 77 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 1: How old's the battery? Have we looked at it for 78 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 1: a drain, you know, et cetera? 79 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 4: What kind of a year ago? I noticed some corrosion 80 00:03:56,360 --> 00:04:02,240 Speaker 4: underneath the hole down bar on the original battery. I 81 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 4: bought this car in twenty nineteen with twenty five thousand 82 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 4: miles on it, and it's got fifty six thousand on it. 83 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 4: So I took apart the battery hold down, got another 84 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 4: battery from NAPA in July, so it's just a year 85 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:22,159 Speaker 4: old this year. Wrapped it up with rubber and carefully 86 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 4: tightened up the jayhooks and then it's sort of done 87 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:31,040 Speaker 4: it a couple of times over the winter. But about 88 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,840 Speaker 4: three months ago I didn't drive it for a week 89 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:39,920 Speaker 4: and it was dead as a door nail. And it's 90 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:43,120 Speaker 4: done it a couple of times in the interim. If 91 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:48,600 Speaker 4: I started every day, it's fine. This week it I didn't. 92 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 4: I drove it on Saturday. It didn't start Tuesday. We've 93 00:04:55,480 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 4: checked the alternator output fourteen point four to four bolts. 94 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,880 Speaker 4: My mechanic and NAPA both say the batteries all right, 95 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 4: so give him. 96 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 1: Do you have a toileting? Go ahead? You suspect what 97 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:12,000 Speaker 1: that there's a. 98 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 4: Drain, right, Yes, there's some kind of a drain. And 99 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 4: I really think that that positive terminal set up on 100 00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 4: the fiestas well. I'm weird, all right. It's got it's 101 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:31,040 Speaker 4: got three or four there's three wires connected to it, 102 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:37,280 Speaker 4: an L shaped piece of plastic that has got ocfusible 103 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 4: links in it. 104 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:38,479 Speaker 2: Right. 105 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,039 Speaker 1: Well, for whatever reason, that's where the engineers decided to 106 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 1: put them, all right. But let's let's let's look beyond that, 107 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 1: all right, because it's I've only got another hour yet today, 108 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:51,560 Speaker 1: so you know we've got an electrical drain, right, what's 109 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:53,600 Speaker 1: an electrical drain. How can you have an electrical drain 110 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:55,360 Speaker 1: because you see nothing on in the car, right, there's 111 00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,360 Speaker 1: no old interior lights on, there's nothing on that that 112 00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 1: looks like it's electrically using a power. Correct. How many 113 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 1: toilets do you have in the house? How many toilets, toilets, toilets, bathrooms? One? 114 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 4: Okay? 115 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, you ever notice? You ever notice over the course 116 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:18,920 Speaker 1: of your lifetime, like you keep getting those quarterly water 117 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,080 Speaker 1: bills from the town, and then one year or one 118 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 1: quarter the water bill went up and you can't figure 119 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 1: out why. And you find out the toilet's running even 120 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 1: though you don't hear it, right, and you go and 121 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:29,159 Speaker 1: you jiggle the handle, and all of a sudden, the 122 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 1: toilet sounds quieter. So, you know, an electrical drain is 123 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:36,560 Speaker 1: kind of like that, that running toilet. You don't hear it, 124 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:38,600 Speaker 1: but it's there and it's happening, and you just don't 125 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:42,839 Speaker 1: realize that it's consuming water. You don't realize it's consuming electricity. 126 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,479 Speaker 1: You know, you can do this a variety of ways. 127 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:48,839 Speaker 1: I still like the tried and true, and it's easy 128 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:53,120 Speaker 1: to explain and understand, is to put a milliampimeter in 129 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 1: between the negative battery terminal and the cable and look 130 00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 1: to see what the electrical discharge is. The industry in 131 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 1: the last three or four years has come up and 132 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:05,680 Speaker 1: you could you can google this and look it up. 133 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 1: They do things now with voltage drop testing across fuses too, 134 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 1: and then there's a chart to determine current draw and 135 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 1: it you know, it'll it'll be like a day at 136 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:18,640 Speaker 1: m I T before we go there. I like to 137 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,840 Speaker 1: do the tried and true and simple millim test. And 138 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,440 Speaker 1: and all we're doing is let me or let me, 139 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:27,880 Speaker 1: let me ask, let me answer the question this way. No, 140 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 1: no disparaging comment towards towards you, Robin. But do you 141 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 1: understand the difference between voltage and ambridge? Anybody ever explained 142 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:37,360 Speaker 1: it to you? 143 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:37,680 Speaker 5: Yeah? 144 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 4: It was an electronic technician in the Navy for six years, 145 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 4: all right. 146 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 1: So you know right, I got it, vult Yeah, voltages voltages. 147 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 1: Voltage voltage is pressure and current ambriages is volume. Right, 148 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,480 Speaker 1: And so for everyone else's benefit, that's what we're chasing here. 149 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 1: So let's put a millionam meter across the negative post 150 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 1: of the battery and the terminal. What sort of milliam 151 00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 1: draw do we have? Key out, key out of the vehicle, 152 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 1: all right. Is it a push button vehicle? Is it 153 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:10,120 Speaker 1: a push button start vehicle? Or a key key key okay, 154 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,200 Speaker 1: key on the roof, all right, so you know where 155 00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:17,080 Speaker 1: it is, all right. No cell phone chargers plugged in, 156 00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:21,000 Speaker 1: nothing in any charging port, everything normal, all right. Just 157 00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 1: put a million meter between the negative battery post and 158 00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:26,920 Speaker 1: the cable. What do you have? It has to drop 159 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:31,600 Speaker 1: to less than fifty millims for it to be considered 160 00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:37,480 Speaker 1: a no draw condition. All right. Now it can take 161 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 1: this is a modern day Ford. It can take upwards 162 00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:46,320 Speaker 1: of seventy five minutes, all right, probably closer to the 163 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 1: forty five to fifty minute mark, but I have seen 164 00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:52,199 Speaker 1: them on regular occasions go to seventy five, almost eighty minutes. 165 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,679 Speaker 1: Sometimes it takes a while for all those modules to 166 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:58,439 Speaker 1: fall asleep. Once we prove, once we prove it has 167 00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:00,400 Speaker 1: a draw, if it comes in it, if it comes 168 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:02,200 Speaker 1: in at forty five million ams, I'm going to tell 169 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 1: you there's a draw, even though the magic number is fifty. 170 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:08,800 Speaker 1: All right. Typically we see a modern vehicle fall into 171 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:12,560 Speaker 1: the twenty to twenty five milliamp range. That's good, all right. 172 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:16,079 Speaker 1: If we see over fifty milliams. This has a draw 173 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:21,839 Speaker 1: if it goes. If it goes fifty milliamps in an hour, 174 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:25,000 Speaker 1: and you want to try this, it's going to cost 175 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,560 Speaker 1: you the price of a nine volt battery. Put the 176 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,839 Speaker 1: meter on minmax record. It won't go to sleep at 177 00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,800 Speaker 1: that point, and you can leave that meter on overnight 178 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 1: and then come back and see the next day. Hey, 179 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:39,000 Speaker 1: it really does have a milliam draw of twenty five milliams. Great, 180 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:43,400 Speaker 1: it's really It's not this, it's something else. But you know, 181 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:45,560 Speaker 1: I've also had cases where what I'm what I'm trying 182 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:47,880 Speaker 1: to get at is I've had cases where initially I'll 183 00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:49,720 Speaker 1: see it where it now drops down the twenty five 184 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 1: milliams and on a hun sh after going through and 185 00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 1: looking at everything else, I'll leave it in record mode 186 00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:57,720 Speaker 1: and I'll come back after eight hours and in the 187 00:09:57,720 --> 00:09:59,840 Speaker 1: middle of the night it spikes up for some reason 188 00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,880 Speaker 1: and I have to attack that slightly differently. All right, 189 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:06,440 Speaker 1: but the first thing you want to the first thing 190 00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:09,200 Speaker 1: you want to do is a milliam draw test. All right, 191 00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:11,880 Speaker 1: what do you have? And then we can kind of 192 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:14,120 Speaker 1: go from there. Once you prove that it does have 193 00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,720 Speaker 1: a draw, you hook this up and it's it's got 194 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:20,480 Speaker 1: a got an eighty millim draw. Then you're going to 195 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:24,000 Speaker 1: go through fuse by fuse one by one. All right, 196 00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:27,079 Speaker 1: pull one fuse out, draw goes away. No, okay, put 197 00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:28,680 Speaker 1: the fuse back in. Go to the next one. 198 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:29,520 Speaker 6: All right. 199 00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:34,560 Speaker 1: One last thing to set the vehicle up. Flip the 200 00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:36,680 Speaker 1: door jam. Do you know what I mean when I 201 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:42,000 Speaker 1: say that when you when you open the driver's door, 202 00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,400 Speaker 1: all right, on the assumption that there is a fuse 203 00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:49,440 Speaker 1: box under the driver's side of the dashboard, pull up 204 00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:52,480 Speaker 1: on the driver's door handle and lock the door so 205 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 1: you can leave the door open. You get what I'm saying. 206 00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:00,199 Speaker 4: Okay, yep, right, yep, Because. 207 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,719 Speaker 1: Because the first impulse is oh gee, I've got to draw, 208 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:04,760 Speaker 1: it's inside the vehicle. Let me check. As soon as 209 00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:08,160 Speaker 1: you open up the door, you're gonna flip the door 210 00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:10,240 Speaker 1: jam switch internal to the door, and all of a sudden, 211 00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:11,800 Speaker 1: the draw is gonna go up again because the dome 212 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:12,600 Speaker 1: light's gonna come on. 213 00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:16,200 Speaker 4: Correct, Yep, yep. 214 00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 1: Right, So you have right and the park right, et cetera. 215 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,800 Speaker 1: You're gonna you have an electrical drain on this vehicle. 216 00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:27,440 Speaker 1: It'd be my guess. Okay, the other way you could 217 00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:28,800 Speaker 1: prove it. The other way you could prove it is 218 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:30,600 Speaker 1: if you don't need the vehicle, take the battery out 219 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:31,920 Speaker 1: of the car. Let it sit on the bench for 220 00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:35,439 Speaker 1: you know, three days. Charge the battery, let it sit 221 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:37,680 Speaker 1: there for three days. If the battery doesn't discharge, guess 222 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:39,840 Speaker 1: what the problems in the car. It's not the battery. 223 00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:45,160 Speaker 4: And I've done that too, Yeah, because how many times 224 00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:46,880 Speaker 4: can you draw a battery down to nothing? 225 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:47,400 Speaker 6: Right? 226 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,760 Speaker 1: Right now? Just make sure you're make sure when they 227 00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:53,760 Speaker 1: charge the battery, and I gotta go, but make sure 228 00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,040 Speaker 1: when they charge the battery they're doing it on a 229 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:58,319 Speaker 1: slow charge to bring it back up the correct level 230 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,120 Speaker 1: so that there isn't a chance that we had a 231 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:04,120 Speaker 1: marginal battery once and now we're being affected by something else. 232 00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:07,079 Speaker 1: But follow a milliam draw test, and if you need more, 233 00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:09,439 Speaker 1: you know where to find me. Eight hundred I'm sorry 234 00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:13,319 Speaker 1: eight five five eight five five five six so nine 235 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:16,400 Speaker 1: nine zero zero sorry, flashback, I'm running any in the 236 00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:18,480 Speaker 1: car doctor, I'll definitely be here when you get back. 237 00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:29,160 Speaker 6: Don't go away. 238 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:31,439 Speaker 5: What's more fun than listening to Ron and any in 239 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:33,559 Speaker 5: the car doctor and getting that car fixed? Right? 240 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,840 Speaker 1: A five five, five six zero nine nine zero zero, 241 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:39,959 Speaker 1: give Ron a call. Now back to Ron. Hey, welcome 242 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:43,120 Speaker 1: back to America's Live Car Show, where we're taking these 243 00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:48,760 Speaker 1: questions live on air, unfiltered and u as a surprise. 244 00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:50,160 Speaker 1: Let's go over and talk to Let's go talk to 245 00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:52,040 Speaker 1: Richard in Michigan. What the heck, Let's try this spin 246 00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 1: the wheel. Go to Michigan. Richard. Welcome to the Car Doctor, Sir, 247 00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:55,040 Speaker 1: How can I help? 248 00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:56,360 Speaker 4: Thanks? 249 00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:57,680 Speaker 2: Roncome taking my call. 250 00:12:57,880 --> 00:12:58,200 Speaker 1: Welcome. 251 00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:03,280 Speaker 5: I have a twenty three teen Chevrolet Avalanche for five 252 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:07,679 Speaker 5: point three four wheel drive, has sixty one thousand miles 253 00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:11,959 Speaker 5: on it, and about every two or three four months, 254 00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:14,080 Speaker 5: I get a check engine light comes on and I 255 00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:16,800 Speaker 5: have one of those little diagnostics you plug in zero 256 00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:18,400 Speaker 5: P zero. 257 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:21,920 Speaker 1: Five twenty one exactly. 258 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:23,120 Speaker 2: Yeah. 259 00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:27,960 Speaker 5: And I have a mechanic that I deal with, and 260 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,679 Speaker 5: he suspected we had a bad sending unit, so he 261 00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:35,439 Speaker 5: replaced that and it still happened. I've never seen the 262 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:41,679 Speaker 5: oil pressure below twenty. What I did do, and that's 263 00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:43,319 Speaker 5: what I want to ask you, is this could this 264 00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:46,840 Speaker 5: cause a problem. I changed from five W thirty to 265 00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:50,480 Speaker 5: ten W thirty oil and I haven't seen it since. 266 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:51,080 Speaker 2: I did that. 267 00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:56,320 Speaker 1: Well, you know the answer is of its working. Yes, 268 00:13:56,559 --> 00:14:00,480 Speaker 1: But you know, have you considered this is where I'm 269 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:05,079 Speaker 1: going to surprise you. Have you considered the oil pressure sensor. 270 00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:11,640 Speaker 5: Filter when they replaced the sensor, they did pull the filter. 271 00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:13,440 Speaker 1: Okay? Was it dirty? 272 00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:15,240 Speaker 2: That's under that. 273 00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:16,120 Speaker 5: I can't tell you. 274 00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:17,959 Speaker 2: All I know is he replaced it when he pulled 275 00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:18,440 Speaker 2: the filter. 276 00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:21,480 Speaker 1: Okay, so he did, he did, He did see the okay, Yeah, 277 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:24,720 Speaker 1: twelve fifty eight fifty three twenty eight is the filter 278 00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:28,720 Speaker 1: part number. They were, they were common, they got restricted, 279 00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 1: all right. So if we were to look at and forget, 280 00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:36,280 Speaker 1: forget what the gauge is saying, but if we were 281 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:39,320 Speaker 1: to look at mechanical oil pressure, you know, is it 282 00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 1: within range? 283 00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:45,200 Speaker 5: I've never seen it below twenty? And you know this 284 00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:49,200 Speaker 5: thing when it happens, could it be just a spontaneous 285 00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:53,160 Speaker 5: or real quick drop that triggers it and I don't 286 00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:54,600 Speaker 5: see it. Then all of a sudden, next thing, I 287 00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:56,200 Speaker 5: look down and I have a check engine light. 288 00:14:56,440 --> 00:15:00,280 Speaker 1: This is an act of fuel management vehicle, right, yes, yeah, 289 00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:03,120 Speaker 1: And that's see, that's that's where the concern comes for 290 00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:07,440 Speaker 1: oil pressure because obviously, in order for oil pressure to 291 00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:09,800 Speaker 1: do the job to make active fuel management work by 292 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,920 Speaker 1: moving the valve train around. It's got to be spot 293 00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:17,480 Speaker 1: on the money, all right. So you know I would 294 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:19,560 Speaker 1: if it were me, I'd want to know what mechanical 295 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:21,320 Speaker 1: oil pressure is. I don't want to take it off 296 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 1: the electric gauge off the engine, all right. I don't 297 00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:27,560 Speaker 1: want to consider that because that gauge is buffered. You 298 00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:30,200 Speaker 1: got to remember, what you're seeing on the dashboard is 299 00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:33,800 Speaker 1: a buffered signal. It goes, It goes from the sensor 300 00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:36,720 Speaker 1: to the PCM, out through the PCM probably to the 301 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:41,280 Speaker 1: BCM over the instrument cluster. You know. It's it's kind 302 00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:44,240 Speaker 1: of like telling your wife to tell your kids to 303 00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:47,680 Speaker 1: tell the dog to go outside and pay all right, 304 00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:50,080 Speaker 1: the message gets delayed seven times. 305 00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:55,600 Speaker 5: So are you suggesting putting in a mechanical oil pressure gauge. 306 00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:57,880 Speaker 1: Well to test this? Yeah, I would want to see 307 00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:01,480 Speaker 1: that mechanical oil pressure is correct. If mechanical you know, 308 00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:03,680 Speaker 1: and just just just to test it, just as part 309 00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:06,320 Speaker 1: of the test. And if mechanical oil pressure is good 310 00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:11,960 Speaker 1: and running a different viscosity oil does the trick. I'm 311 00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:14,480 Speaker 1: going to tell you what you're probably taking up for 312 00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:18,680 Speaker 1: is some sort of wear element inside the engine. Not 313 00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:22,720 Speaker 1: the answer you want, but you know the truth, and 314 00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:27,040 Speaker 1: for whatever reason it's working all right, how many miles 315 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:28,680 Speaker 1: around this would you say? Sixty something? 316 00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:30,200 Speaker 5: Sixty one? 317 00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:33,320 Speaker 1: Right, not to burst your bubble, but by the time 318 00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:34,800 Speaker 1: it has eighty on it, you'll probably have to take 319 00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:36,640 Speaker 1: it apart for valve train issues for the AFM. 320 00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:40,960 Speaker 5: Anyway, So I heard there was some issue with these 321 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:44,840 Speaker 5: engines the valves that I think there's a class action 322 00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:46,200 Speaker 5: suit going on right it too. 323 00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:49,040 Speaker 1: Yep, there's you know, there's lots of issues with the 324 00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:51,720 Speaker 1: valve train and rocker arms and lifters and so on. 325 00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:55,520 Speaker 1: So I just I just want to be sure it's 326 00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:57,640 Speaker 1: got good oil pressure. That's why I'm pushing for the 327 00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:01,360 Speaker 1: mechanical test. If the mechanical test and the mechanical test 328 00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:04,480 Speaker 1: to be done with correct viscosity oil as rated by. 329 00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:08,480 Speaker 5: GM okay, we go back to five thirty, right, go back. 330 00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:11,439 Speaker 1: To five thirty. Do a mechanical test. You know, you 331 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:15,960 Speaker 1: may not like the answer, but at least you'll know, yes, 332 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:19,359 Speaker 1: I agree, at least at least you'll know so, and I. 333 00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:22,399 Speaker 5: Would when this vehicle came out it was using I 334 00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:26,199 Speaker 5: believe a full synthetic, right, dexo soil. So that's what 335 00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:27,720 Speaker 5: we want to go with, and that's what it's in 336 00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:28,680 Speaker 5: it now, right. 337 00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:32,560 Speaker 1: And the reason, the reason you know, everything it's important 338 00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:35,200 Speaker 1: to be dexos rated is because of the heat tolerance 339 00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:38,600 Speaker 1: and the way oil breaks down. You know, I always say, 340 00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:40,919 Speaker 1: and it's a hard concept when you think about it, 341 00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:44,120 Speaker 1: but lubrication is one of the last things oil does 342 00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:47,920 Speaker 1: in a modern engine. You know, it cools, it has 343 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:51,359 Speaker 1: hydraulic properties, it's moving the valve train, it's doing so 344 00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:55,240 Speaker 1: many other things. But I would put the filter back in. 345 00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:57,679 Speaker 1: I would get another twelve fifty eight, fifty three twenty eight. 346 00:17:57,720 --> 00:17:59,879 Speaker 1: I would put the filter back in. The oil pressure sensor, 347 00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:04,040 Speaker 1: I would get a mechanical gauge. I would change the viscosity, 348 00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:09,639 Speaker 1: verify pressure is correct. And if all checks good, okay, 349 00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:12,000 Speaker 1: if ten thirty does it, and that's what keeps it going, 350 00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:14,239 Speaker 1: go ahead. I can't see it hurting anything more than 351 00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:16,520 Speaker 1: you might have already. So call me when you know more, 352 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:18,040 Speaker 1: call me if you need more. I'm on a NDI 353 00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:45,400 Speaker 1: in the car doctor. I'm back right after this. Hey, 354 00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:47,439 Speaker 1: welcome back. We'renning the car doctor. Let's go over and 355 00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:52,359 Speaker 1: talk to Keith in Indiana. Is that Indiana? Indianapolis? In 356 00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:56,240 Speaker 1: somewhere Indianapolis? How are you, Keith? What's going on? 357 00:18:57,600 --> 00:18:57,800 Speaker 2: Oh? 358 00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:00,320 Speaker 7: Good, Yeah, I gotta. I'll give you an update on 359 00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:02,080 Speaker 7: something when we're done, if you don't mind, but sure, 360 00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:06,000 Speaker 7: I noine Toyota Ciena and it's got the TPMs system. 361 00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:09,000 Speaker 7: Back in twenty nineteen, I had my local fire shop 362 00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:12,800 Speaker 7: replace the sensors as they died. Right come to twenty 363 00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:15,320 Speaker 7: twenty four, they you know, they're dead again, which is normal. 364 00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:19,480 Speaker 7: They have tried two different sensors three different times. And 365 00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:22,400 Speaker 7: then I also had a local, my local mechanic try 366 00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:26,639 Speaker 7: a trader brand of sensor. So four different attempts and 367 00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:30,880 Speaker 7: even though the diagnostic equipment shows that everything should work, 368 00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:33,240 Speaker 7: it's not working. I've been told I'll need to go 369 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:37,119 Speaker 7: to Toyota and get the OEM TPMs sensors for a 370 00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:40,320 Speaker 7: price tag is seven hundred dollars, which I'm not going 371 00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:42,320 Speaker 7: to pay seven hundred bucks to make a little pressure 372 00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:44,240 Speaker 7: like go out. I mean, I heard I heard you 373 00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:47,280 Speaker 7: mention this maybe a few weeks ago. Have you experienced this? 374 00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:51,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, So my question is, or my comments would be, 375 00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:54,680 Speaker 1: you know when you're saying they've done this. I don't 376 00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:58,639 Speaker 1: care what brand they're using, all right, you know Brand X. 377 00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:01,240 Speaker 1: All right, well, let's go that when they're using Brand 378 00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:05,119 Speaker 1: X and and the tire pressure sensors, the serial numbers 379 00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:09,479 Speaker 1: are twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, whatever the whatever the numbers are. 380 00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:12,399 Speaker 1: If if twelve is the left front, right is the 381 00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:15,360 Speaker 1: and thirteen is the right front, and so on. When 382 00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:19,680 Speaker 1: they go to look in the vehicle body computer, which 383 00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:21,800 Speaker 1: I believe is where TPMs is stored on that vehicle, 384 00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:26,320 Speaker 1: does it see the correct serial numbers? 385 00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:31,240 Speaker 7: They claim that it does. But I was told today 386 00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:33,800 Speaker 7: that it would need to go to Toyota because they 387 00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:38,679 Speaker 7: say there's some sort of computer block that only Toyota's 388 00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:41,520 Speaker 7: computers can clear to allow the light to go out 389 00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:42,680 Speaker 7: and it's function correctly. 390 00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:45,400 Speaker 1: I think that's I think that's I think that's Bologna 391 00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:47,120 Speaker 1: at a dollar fifty nine pounds. 392 00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:47,760 Speaker 6: All right. 393 00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:52,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, Where I where I would be is I would 394 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:55,960 Speaker 1: be calling whoever's manufacturer of sensors in the vehicle. So 395 00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:58,479 Speaker 1: let me tell you my story. We had we had 396 00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:01,760 Speaker 1: an older Toyota, all right. And by the way, there 397 00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:03,400 Speaker 1: is a bulletin out for this for an No. Nine 398 00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:06,280 Speaker 1: it's from Toyota TSBO one oh four dash eight and 399 00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:09,520 Speaker 1: it lays out the sequence by how you have to 400 00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:12,680 Speaker 1: program these, so maybe they're not following proper sequence. The 401 00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:19,040 Speaker 1: early cars from Toyota seven eight nine with TPMs were 402 00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,560 Speaker 1: a little funky in some of the things that they did, 403 00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:24,960 Speaker 1: and there were some very specific procedures between dashboard lights 404 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:28,840 Speaker 1: and registering the sensors and so on. But bottom line, 405 00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:31,639 Speaker 1: if they're putting a brand DEX sensor in it and 406 00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:34,960 Speaker 1: they can't get it to register, the next step is 407 00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:38,080 Speaker 1: what we did was we called the brand's tech support 408 00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:41,360 Speaker 1: and we found out what was different, and sure enough, 409 00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:43,840 Speaker 1: there had been a software update to that particular Toyota 410 00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:47,520 Speaker 1: that made the calibration and relearned procedures slightly different. And 411 00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:50,000 Speaker 1: as soon as we did that, we solved the problem. 412 00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:53,600 Speaker 1: I don't believe. I don't believe that you've got to 413 00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:57,000 Speaker 1: go through and put OE sensors in every car, all right. 414 00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:59,320 Speaker 7: You know, maybe that's what they're saying. It needs to 415 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:01,280 Speaker 7: go to Toyota or is a software update. 416 00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:04,520 Speaker 1: Maybe they can't, right, Maybe the shops don't have the 417 00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:06,960 Speaker 1: ability to do the software updates. Maybe that's what they're 418 00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:10,880 Speaker 1: talking about. All right, Yeah, it could be if it's 419 00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:13,160 Speaker 1: a three hundred and fifteen mega hurt sensor and that's 420 00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:15,040 Speaker 1: what the car calls for, and that's what's in it. 421 00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:19,800 Speaker 1: And again, if the vehicles TPMs computer I'll call it, 422 00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:23,720 Speaker 1: that is reading serial numbers twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen. If 423 00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:30,679 Speaker 1: it's reading them, all right, it should okay, it should work. Now, 424 00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:33,840 Speaker 1: stupid question, and there are no stupid questions. We've always 425 00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:36,600 Speaker 1: established that on this show thirty years ago. All right, 426 00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:42,520 Speaker 1: are they considering is this a five tire system? Is 427 00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:46,000 Speaker 1: it a five sensor system? 428 00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:48,800 Speaker 7: Oh no, it's not. The spare does not have a sense. 429 00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:51,440 Speaker 7: The spare does not have a understanding, actually states that. 430 00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:53,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, because a lot of the toyotas are five 431 00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:58,679 Speaker 1: sensor systems. Right, okay, so you know, is it and 432 00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:01,160 Speaker 1: is it that it's not seeing any of the sensors 433 00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:04,159 Speaker 1: or one or two? Which one isn't you know? 434 00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:08,320 Speaker 7: They today they claimed it sees all four that they 435 00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:11,080 Speaker 7: just can't get. The light will blink for sixty seconds 436 00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:13,280 Speaker 7: and it just stays on, which the owners manils to 437 00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:18,199 Speaker 7: indicate the communication problem. Okay, but yet they say that 438 00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:20,840 Speaker 7: they're showing that the computer is seeing all four sensors. 439 00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:22,360 Speaker 7: So it's like, right, that. 440 00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:24,680 Speaker 1: Doesn't that doesn't make any sense if the computer's seeing 441 00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:27,880 Speaker 1: all four sensors again, you know, and and and here, 442 00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,960 Speaker 1: maybe they need to do this all right, if they're 443 00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:34,680 Speaker 1: if there what we'll call is universal aftermarket sensors. Here's 444 00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:37,720 Speaker 1: a trick that we learned. Also, you've got a Toyota 445 00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:41,320 Speaker 1: and we're using we're for full disclosure, we're using X 446 00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:43,480 Speaker 1: is it X thirty one or thirty one ning sensors 447 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:46,040 Speaker 1: in the shop, right, great company. They're out of Ohio, 448 00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:48,439 Speaker 1: or actually I think they're out of Indiana, Indiana, Ohio, 449 00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:51,359 Speaker 1: all right, somewhere out by you. And I learned this 450 00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:54,760 Speaker 1: trick from their tech guys. We had a Toyota. We 451 00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:56,760 Speaker 1: had a problem. We couldn't get it to register. Not 452 00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:58,159 Speaker 1: the one from a couple of weeks ago. This was 453 00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:02,720 Speaker 1: a different one. We win, we can wirelessly program the sensors. 454 00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:08,080 Speaker 1: We went in and we programmed the sensors. We programmed 455 00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:11,440 Speaker 1: the sensors by into being a Ford. So we told 456 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:14,080 Speaker 1: the Toyota sensors, hey, we're programming a Ford. We programmed 457 00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:17,600 Speaker 1: it for a fort We programmed the wrong sensors to 458 00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:20,879 Speaker 1: the vehicle, took the vehicle around the block, brought it 459 00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:24,480 Speaker 1: back now, told that we're programming it for whatever your 460 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:25,359 Speaker 1: make model, Toyota. 461 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:25,719 Speaker 4: It was. 462 00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:29,080 Speaker 1: We forced the system to look at itself and we 463 00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:31,440 Speaker 1: got the lights to go out, and we were able 464 00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:34,919 Speaker 1: to reset the system and it worked. So you know, 465 00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:39,320 Speaker 1: there's always that possibility too, all right, that maybe it's 466 00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:42,399 Speaker 1: in their programming procedure. But no, sir, I don't believe 467 00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:44,480 Speaker 1: that there's a situation here where you've got to go 468 00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:47,400 Speaker 1: to Toyota to get their sensors. I think the aftermarket 469 00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:49,879 Speaker 1: stuff will work. I think it's being programmed incorrectly. And 470 00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:52,280 Speaker 1: I would talk to the manufacturer of the sensor. They 471 00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:54,440 Speaker 1: would be very interested to hear this, because those guys 472 00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:57,200 Speaker 1: get upset when somebody says, hey, your stuff doesn't work, 473 00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:00,240 Speaker 1: because they sell a lot of sensors. Brother, right, it's 474 00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:01,360 Speaker 1: a big part of their business. 475 00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:03,680 Speaker 2: All right, I'm looking at it. 476 00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:07,400 Speaker 7: I'll look into that TSC too, you talked about. Yeah, 477 00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:09,159 Speaker 7: I want to get a quick update if you got 478 00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:10,119 Speaker 7: a chance, real quick. 479 00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:11,960 Speaker 2: Yeah. 480 00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:15,480 Speaker 7: I called you a while back about the cam phasers 481 00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:18,000 Speaker 7: and this engine. There's a TSD out on those two. Right, 482 00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:21,919 Speaker 7: Toyota wanted six thousand dollars to do the job, and 483 00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,080 Speaker 7: it didn't have one hundred thousand miles on it, right, 484 00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:27,639 Speaker 7: But because I could show receipts for all of my 485 00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:30,879 Speaker 7: Toyota brand oil filters I bought, because I do my 486 00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:34,560 Speaker 7: own oil changes, we come to negotiation of about thirty 487 00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:37,120 Speaker 7: six hundred dollars. They had to drop the whole engine, 488 00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:40,000 Speaker 7: owt the vehicle, replace all four cam phasers and one 489 00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:42,400 Speaker 7: of the overhead camshafts. 490 00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:46,800 Speaker 1: Well, listen, at least you got something, right, Yeah. 491 00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:48,840 Speaker 7: Yeah, but that was the resolution. And you know, thirty 492 00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:50,800 Speaker 7: six hundreds a lot cheaper than forty grand for a 493 00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:51,120 Speaker 7: new one. 494 00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:56,920 Speaker 1: Well right, forty probably fifty yeah, probably on the chief. Yeah, 495 00:25:57,160 --> 00:26:00,399 Speaker 1: so yep, I get it. You know it's listen. You know, 496 00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:04,360 Speaker 1: nothing against Toyota, good vehicles, but nothing is bulletproof anymore. 497 00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:07,240 Speaker 1: Everything has its issues. So I gotta run my Keith. 498 00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:09,280 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I got to run, Keith. Good to hear 499 00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:10,439 Speaker 1: from you and let us know how you make out 500 00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:12,320 Speaker 1: with the TPMs. I'm running any in the card doctor. 501 00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:29,120 Speaker 1: We're back right after this, Welcome back. I'm running any 502 00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:31,880 Speaker 1: of the card doctor. Let's go over to Mark in Wisconsin. Mark, 503 00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:33,560 Speaker 1: you're on with the card doctor, Sir, how can I help? 504 00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:38,280 Speaker 2: Hi? Thanks Ron, longtime listener, first time calling. 505 00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:38,719 Speaker 1: Thank you. 506 00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:41,800 Speaker 2: I've got a twenty thirteen Port fifty with Eco Boost 507 00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:44,320 Speaker 2: engine and it's been a good runner for me. It's 508 00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:46,320 Speaker 2: running good now, which is why I still have it. 509 00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:49,600 Speaker 2: But you know, last year I took a road trip 510 00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:52,520 Speaker 2: and had a little problem. And now I'm thinking that, 511 00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:55,040 Speaker 2: since it's eleven years old, I think I'd rather do 512 00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:58,120 Speaker 2: some preventative maintenance so that the next time it break down, 513 00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:00,560 Speaker 2: it breaks down. I'm not a thousand miles from home. 514 00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,520 Speaker 2: So what would you recommend in the way of, you know, 515 00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:06,880 Speaker 2: preventative things like bell toses, food exchanges, things like that 516 00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:08,480 Speaker 2: before I take it out in the road again. 517 00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:11,760 Speaker 1: Yes, you know. And how many miles are on it? 518 00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:12,040 Speaker 6: Mark? 519 00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:20,639 Speaker 1: Mark? How many miles are on this now? Mark? Is 520 00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:27,119 Speaker 1: Mark there? Mark? Are you there? We're losing them? Mark? Hello? 521 00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:29,640 Speaker 1: All right, so we lost Mark. But let me answer. 522 00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:31,520 Speaker 1: Let me answer the question. You know what we're talking about. 523 00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:34,120 Speaker 1: We're talking about preventive maintenance on an older vehicle, something 524 00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:37,800 Speaker 1: that's eleven years old, and you know, we want to 525 00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:40,840 Speaker 1: stop and consider you know, agent mileage. If it's wet, 526 00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:43,800 Speaker 1: change it fluids. Yeah, all of them, drive line fluids. 527 00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:46,520 Speaker 1: If this was a gas engine, and I'm always worried 528 00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:50,080 Speaker 1: about fuel systems on older, higher mileage vehicles, all right, 529 00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:51,600 Speaker 1: this is a diesel is a little bit of a 530 00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:53,919 Speaker 1: different animal, all right. You know you've got to make 531 00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:56,520 Speaker 1: sure you're buying your diesel from good, reliable sources. I 532 00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:59,520 Speaker 1: like to I'm a truck stop diesel guy in the 533 00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:02,080 Speaker 1: fuel instance is where I'm running a diesel for some reason, 534 00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:04,520 Speaker 1: I'd like to, you know, do a truck stop diesel, 535 00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:06,560 Speaker 1: not gas station diesel. I think the truck stops do 536 00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:09,040 Speaker 1: a better job. Just my opinion, just a belief system 537 00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:11,560 Speaker 1: I was brought up on. Proved me wrong. But you know, 538 00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:13,560 Speaker 1: if this was a gas engine, I'd be looking at 539 00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:16,879 Speaker 1: some fuel additives. I like tech run and a gasoline engine. 540 00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:19,640 Speaker 1: I'm not a kin to putting techroun and a gasoline 541 00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:22,000 Speaker 1: engine on a longer trip and taking a couple of 542 00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:24,199 Speaker 1: bottles with me. It sort of stabilizes and helps the 543 00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:27,560 Speaker 1: fuel along the way. If there's something you're using for 544 00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:32,960 Speaker 1: your diesel to you know, maintain and help provide stability 545 00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:34,520 Speaker 1: to the fuel system. I would do that on a 546 00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:37,440 Speaker 1: long road trip. And yeah, belts and hoses, what sort 547 00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:39,560 Speaker 1: of you know, what sort of condition are they in? Again? 548 00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:42,360 Speaker 1: How many miles are on this and you know, just 549 00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:44,520 Speaker 1: if it's wet, change it. Take a look at the brakes, 550 00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:46,880 Speaker 1: take a look at the front suspension, and in doing 551 00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:49,840 Speaker 1: some of the smaller fluid maintenance, you're going to find 552 00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:51,840 Speaker 1: that the other maintenance gets done because you're going to 553 00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:53,680 Speaker 1: start to see things and it opens your eyes and 554 00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:56,240 Speaker 1: you're going to be very aware of what's going on 555 00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:59,360 Speaker 1: with the overall condition of the truck. So just just 556 00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:01,120 Speaker 1: just my thoughts. Sorry we lost you there, Mark, I'm 557 00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:03,040 Speaker 1: not sure what happened. Give us a call back if 558 00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:05,040 Speaker 1: you need more. Let's get over to Cedric and Iowa 559 00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:08,280 Speaker 1: O nine Chevy Silverado.

And sort of Chevy dealership, I haven't approached 588 00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:43,120 Speaker 8: them with it yet because I just haven't too long. 589 00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:45,720 Speaker 8: Had to all change and then when he told me that, 590 00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:47,959 Speaker 8: I was wondering, so that got the clunk was a 591 00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:48,640 Speaker 8: normal thing. 592 00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:51,800 Speaker 1: Well, you're gonna get, you're gonna get, you're gonna get 593 00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:53,880 Speaker 1: a certain amount of a you know, a clunk or 594 00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:56,120 Speaker 1: a click. It's it just can't be bone jarring. What 595 00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:58,920 Speaker 1: you might be hearing is too much backlash in the gear, 596 00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:01,200 Speaker 1: too much space between the ring and the opinion. And 597 00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:06,400 Speaker 1: you're hearing that that that that slop, that play magnified. Listen. 598 00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:09,640 Speaker 1: More than more than anything, Cedric, can I tell you 599 00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:13,480 Speaker 1: what you need, But you need a mechanic, brother that 600 00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:15,200 Speaker 1: you can trust. You need to be able to go 601 00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:17,760 Speaker 1: to one guy, one cook and say, hey, look the 602 00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:20,480 Speaker 1: truck over, good, bad, or indifferent, Because if you've got 603 00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:22,640 Speaker 1: a mechanic that worked on the vehicle that doesn't want 604 00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:25,959 Speaker 1: to talk to you about it, then, in my opinion, 605 00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:29,560 Speaker 1: he's hiding something. Something's wrong there, all right, you know 606 00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:33,920 Speaker 1: it's it's so more important than anything, whether the relationship 607 00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:36,280 Speaker 1: is with your local Chevy dealer or the garage down 608 00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:38,440 Speaker 1: the corner. You need to find somebody to look the 609 00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:41,480 Speaker 1: truck over and give you an honest opinion. All right. 610 00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:44,600 Speaker 8: If the Chevy dealer the Chevy dealer is going to 611 00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:47,040 Speaker 8: be and I'm just gonna take it. Take my truck 612 00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:50,000 Speaker 8: here from now on because it's an excellent running truck, 613 00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:53,680 Speaker 8: right running? Oh yeah, absolutely, in a great condition. 614 00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:56,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, And and you know, explain to them what your 615 00:31:56,360 --> 00:32:00,360 Speaker 1: concerns are. You know, dealerships aren't bad repair shops. Repair 616 00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:03,120 Speaker 1: shops aren't bad repair shops. It's the people in them 617 00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:06,480 Speaker 1: that define them, all right, And there's bad there's bad 618 00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:09,080 Speaker 1: guys in all kinds of buildings. I've found this out, 619 00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:12,160 Speaker 1: you know, over the course of my life. So I 620 00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:14,240 Speaker 1: think everybody deserves a shot. I'd go in and I 621 00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:16,600 Speaker 1: talk to the dealer, whoever it is, and say, hey, 622 00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:18,920 Speaker 1: you're going to be my service writer. You know, this 623 00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:21,360 Speaker 1: is what I'm looking for. I understand it's not going 624 00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:23,440 Speaker 1: to be in an expensive proposition to take care of 625 00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:25,680 Speaker 1: a vehicle properly. I just want to know that it's 626 00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:27,560 Speaker 1: safe and reliable and that I can drive it without 627 00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:31,760 Speaker 1: any issues. And see how they react. You know, it's 628 00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:34,800 Speaker 1: it's it's still people inside the walls of a dealership, 629 00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:37,280 Speaker 1: even though nobody really stops to think about that. So 630 00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:38,640 Speaker 1: I give them a lot of credit. They have to 631 00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:40,360 Speaker 1: put up with a lot of abuse. It's how you 632 00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:42,440 Speaker 1: approach them and how you talk to them. So do that. 633 00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:44,600 Speaker 1: And if you have any more problems, any more questions, Cedric, 634 00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:46,200 Speaker 1: you know where to find me.

Hey, 642 00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:19,320 Speaker 1: ron wife called me this week with no power steering. 643 00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:22,080 Speaker 1: I've got an older escape sort of like Tom's had 644 00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:24,080 Speaker 1: triple Well it's either like Tom's or it's not had 645 00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:26,000 Speaker 1: triple A toe to the house. Got into it expecting 646 00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:28,800 Speaker 1: a power steering pump failure. Found a separate V belt 647 00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:31,280 Speaker 1: that is only used for the power steering and sits 648 00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:34,080 Speaker 1: behind the main crank POLLEYO all of engineers. This comes 649 00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:36,640 Speaker 1: to us from Don not an easy replacement, even after 650 00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:38,760 Speaker 1: reading and watching, decided to change the main sert belt. 651 00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:40,720 Speaker 1: At the same time, all ready to go use my 652 00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:43,760 Speaker 1: handy AutoZone acquired tension or tool at a boy and 653 00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:45,840 Speaker 1: bang the dog gear that has the square opening to 654 00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:48,360 Speaker 1: insert the tool broke off. Now I have to replace 655 00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:51,440 Speaker 1: the tension or question? Do you routinely change the tension 656 00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:53,120 Speaker 1: or whatever? You change the belt? The belt has been 657 00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:56,280 Speaker 1: changed every eighty to ninety thousand miles, but never the tension. 658 00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:57,800 Speaker 1: It looks to be made a cast aluminum. What do 659 00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:00,400 Speaker 1: you recommend? Best regards? Don? Yeah, you know, so what Don? 660 00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:05,320 Speaker 1: Here's the issue. Serpentine belts last longer now, they gosh 661 00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:07,880 Speaker 1: a good Fifteen years ago they went to an EPDM. 662 00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:10,759 Speaker 1: It was a different type of rubber overall across belts. 663 00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:13,359 Speaker 1: If you notice that on newer vehicles we don't see 664 00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:16,360 Speaker 1: belts cracking. They tend to wear out. The rubber wears 665 00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:19,360 Speaker 1: out much the same way that a tire wears out. Okay, 666 00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:22,960 Speaker 1: the tread gets shallower, the depth of the belt groove 667 00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:27,000 Speaker 1: gets shallower. That's why they give us groove depth finders 668 00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:31,600 Speaker 1: and teller measurement tools now for measuring belts to decide 669 00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:33,040 Speaker 1: if they're good or bad. But the rule of thumb 670 00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:35,480 Speaker 1: is one hundred, one hundred and ten thousand miles somewhere 671 00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:36,800 Speaker 1: in that range. Take a look at the belt that 672 00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:40,040 Speaker 1: probably needs to be replaced. And yes, we do change 673 00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:42,400 Speaker 1: tensioners and we do change idlers. It's one of the 674 00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:44,920 Speaker 1: reasons companies like Gates, when they sell you a belt, 675 00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:48,440 Speaker 1: they will offer you a gait a belt, tensioner and 676 00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:51,480 Speaker 1: idler pulley kit as well, and all package together with 677 00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:54,560 Speaker 1: the belt, because the fact is the belts are lasting longer, 678 00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:58,040 Speaker 1: the cars are lasting longer. Tensioners do wear out, and 679 00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:00,000 Speaker 1: you want to make sure that we're providing correct tension 680 00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:02,920 Speaker 1: to keep that belt running for another one hundred thousand miles. 681 00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:05,600 Speaker 1: I appreciate the email, and as always, I appreciate each 682 00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:07,319 Speaker 1: and every one of you. Until the next time, I'm 683 00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:10,080 Speaker 1: ronning Andy and the car Doctor. The mechanics aren't expensive, 684 00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:11,560 Speaker 1: they're priceless. See you
