1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,560
Speaker 1: Ron and an Ian. There's a distinctive sound and engine

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:05,440
Speaker 1: makes when you go to start it that you can

3
00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:08,080
Speaker 1: tell it's healthy. It has that that rooter do doo

4
00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:16,239
Speaker 1: doo doo, that that sound of compression to it. The

5
00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 1: Car Doctor. Listen. I've listened to your show over the

6
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:22,599
Speaker 1: years and I've learned quite a bit that you really

7
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:25,560
Speaker 1: keep me updated. Thank you for what's happening in the

8
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 1: automotive heel. Welcome to the radio home of Ron and

9
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 1: Anian the Car Doctor. Since this is where car owners

10
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:38,240
Speaker 1: the world overturned to for their definitive opinion on automotive repair.

11
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:41,519
Speaker 1: If your mechanics giving you a busy signal, pick up

12
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 1: the phone and call in the garage to orders are open.

13
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,199
Speaker 1: But I am here to take your call at eight

14
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 1: five five five six and now running. I wanted to

15
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 1: talk to you about engines as we start off the

16
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 1: hour today. UM. Interesting scenario this week at the shop,

17
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 1: someone came in and asked about installing an oil pump

18
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 1: in his late model Camaro and I said, gee, we

19
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 1: don't do that. UM. And part of the conversation was

20
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,400
Speaker 1: I'm jumping ahead because part of the conversation was he

21
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 1: requested an oil pump. My question was why because I

22
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:24,039
Speaker 1: lost oil pressure. I said, you know, there's a potential.

23
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 1: Do you need an engine? We had that whole conversation,

24
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 1: of which he knew all the answers and didn't want

25
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 1: to do that. Um. And you know, listen or orto

26
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:35,679
Speaker 1: repairs like picking a doctor. You're you're picking me, I'm

27
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:39,680
Speaker 1: picking you. I politely the kline. Um. Of course I

28
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 1: got a bad right up on yelp. That's a whole

29
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 1: another story. Um. So if you want to go see

30
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 1: read something funny, go read yelp and see what the

31
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 1: guy says about me. It's kind of interesting and sort

32
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 1: of a chuckle. Um. But I wondered to myself, Am

33
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 1: I am I turning away something? Maybe I should be

34
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: doing engine work, and maybe I shouldn't be turning it

35
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 1: down per se uh in that sense of the word.

36
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 1: But you know, in my mind, engine work has been

37
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 1: a dead item for the better part of ten or

38
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 1: twelve years. Nobody does individual component repair anymore, at least

39
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 1: not in my reality in the world that I live in.

40
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:15,919
Speaker 1: And I called a couple of shops that we're doing

41
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 1: some diagnostic work for, and I asked them, you know

42
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:20,359
Speaker 1: when you're doing engine work. What are you doing? Well,

43
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 1: we swap Paul engines, you know, would you do an

44
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:25,359
Speaker 1: oil pump? Well, how do you know what got hurt?

45
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 1: And I said, well, that's my thinking exactly. I called

46
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 1: some of the dealer guys that I talked to on

47
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 1: a regular basis and asked them, you know, are you

48
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 1: doing engine work? You know, no, not really, We're doing

49
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 1: you know, complete component replacement. The factory doesn't want us

50
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,399
Speaker 1: doing individual engine tear down. I think about the only

51
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 1: things that get replaced on the engines today are timing

52
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: chain assemblies, valve actuator, valve timing components, things like that.

53
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: But the days of head gaskets and and cylinder head

54
00:02:56,280 --> 00:03:00,360
Speaker 1: replacement and taking engines down to bear cranks fs and

55
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 1: connecting rods and pistons and rings and such, I think

56
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 1: that's gone a long time from the surveys and the

57
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 1: answers that I received this week. And I'm curious what

58
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 1: you're experiencing. I'm wondering if other parts of the country,

59
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 1: you know, different economic conditions, different culture of cars, different

60
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:20,079
Speaker 1: climate of cars. Are we doing engine work or is

61
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 1: engine work thriving in other places? Because I can tell

62
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:27,359
Speaker 1: you in North Jersey. It doesn't seem to exist individual

63
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:31,919
Speaker 1: tear down, you know, componentry, maybe specific things. Maybe in

64
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 1: some cases oil pumps get replaced for some real obvious defects.

65
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 1: But I just just an opening comment. So if you've

66
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 1: got a thought, if you've had an experience, or maybe

67
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 1: tell me think back, when was the last time you

68
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 1: had an engine repaired, not a complete engine replaced, but

69
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 1: a singular engine component repaired? What was that? I'm taking

70
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 1: a survey. I'm asking you a question, you know, send

71
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 1: me your answers. Either go up on the Car Doctor

72
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: Facebook page. We can start a threat up there. Someone

73
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: can start a threat, maybe Tom will get something going,

74
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 1: or you can send me an email Ron at Car

75
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 1: Doctor show dot com. I'd love to hear from you

76
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 1: and hear what's going on. We have a we have

77
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 1: a lot going on this week. I know we always

78
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 1: have a lot. We have a lot going on this week.

79
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 1: Down around the bottom of the hour, we're gonna be

80
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:17,480
Speaker 1: joined by a representative Launch Diagnostics talking about a DOS

81
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,480
Speaker 1: Advanced Driver Assist Systems and you know what we're gonna

82
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 1: do to calibrate, repair, cope with what a DOS is

83
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:25,359
Speaker 1: a little bit of a dos one oh one, and

84
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:27,479
Speaker 1: then coming up at the top of the second hour

85
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,279
Speaker 1: today I call him fireman Tim. We're gonna talk about

86
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:33,600
Speaker 1: electric cars and what happens when an electric car catches

87
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 1: fire out on the roads and how that affects you,

88
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 1: the motorists, And I think the answer is gonna be shocking.

89
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 1: I know, look at Tom, I made a pun electric

90
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:46,360
Speaker 1: car shocking. You got that. I'm so witty Sometimes I'm

91
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 1: not though that makes me a half wit. Um. And

92
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 1: do you forget I have control over your microphones. I

93
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:56,479
Speaker 1: understand that part, Um, but it's shocking what what happens

94
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 1: when an electric car catches fire out on the highway

95
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,280
Speaker 1: and what triggered this was? I want to give credit

96
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:05,479
Speaker 1: where credit is due. Research. Kathy her Son is a

97
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 1: state trooper somewhere, and he pointed out that that, you know,

98
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,159
Speaker 1: the state police now are required to perform and do

99
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:13,919
Speaker 1: exactly what we're going to discuss at the top of

100
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 1: the hour. So it's it's gonna be interesting right now. Though,

101
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 1: Let's do what the car doctor loves to do best.

102
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 1: Let's kick the garage doors open, Tom and Connecticut oh

103
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:23,480
Speaker 1: four g Grand Cherokee, and the left turn signal that

104
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,119
Speaker 1: doesn't work, Tom, if you would stop making left turns,

105
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 1: you'd be okay. Yeah, I'm just gonna go around in

106
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 1: the right hand, uh to every place they gotta go. Yeah,

107
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,679
Speaker 1: this is actually gonna be my second time on the show.

108
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 1: And they did actually replace the flasher, the flasher unit

109
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 1: itself inside the steering reel and traced it down. But

110
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 1: I was wondering if there's anything else that the garage

111
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:51,160
Speaker 1: needs to look at. I'm gonna be going in on Monday. Yeah, no, no, no, no,

112
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 1: wait a minute. The switches in the steering wheel. There

113
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 1: there is a there is a flasher inside the junction

114
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:04,279
Speaker 1: lock down at the base of the column to the left. Okay,

115
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 1: all right, And and that flasher is prone to failure.

116
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 1: There are some specific tests if you pull that out.

117
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 1: It's a it's a three four pin terminal, and there

118
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 1: are some specific tests checking force signal and voltage. And

119
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 1: you want to if you replace that flasher, you want

120
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 1: to use either Chrysler or a real good OI equivalent,

121
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 1: because that's one of those things they've got. It's an

122
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 1: electronic device that no one, no one has had a

123
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:34,040
Speaker 1: great deal of luck reproducing, So that flasher can be

124
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 1: you've you've got the classic scenario where the left the

125
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 1: left turn signal is flashing fast. Um, it's not flashing

126
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 1: at all. Okay, does the light light up? Do you

127
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 1: see illumination on the dash? Oh? Yeah, if I put

128
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 1: the emergency on it, it comes on and all that

129
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 1: sort of jazz, and it will work intermittently, which is

130
00:06:55,560 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 1: kind of driving nuts and little dangerous. I think, yeah, sure, um,

131
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 1: but by all means, have them look at the flash

132
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 1: or you know, let me do this for you. If

133
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 1: they need some diagnostics, if they need a diagnostic routine,

134
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 1: send me an email. Run a car doctor show dot com.

135
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 1: I'll be glad to send you a pdf. Uh talking

136
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 1: about there's there's a step by step process for doping

137
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 1: that out and um uh you know we can kind

138
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 1: of go through that. So all right, sir, thank you

139
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 1: very much. You're very welcome, good luck, Let us know

140
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 1: what happens. Take take good care to You're welcome, take

141
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 1: good care. Let's uh, let's go to let's go to

142
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 1: Matthew in Michigan, Tom, can we do that? Can we

143
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 1: go to Matthew in Michigan and see what's going on

144
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 1: with this ninety on Nissan Center Matthew, you around with

145
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 1: the car doctor. How can I help? Fine? I have

146
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 1: an on center four cylinder. I put a new radiator,

147
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 1: new hoses, I put a new water pump on it,

148
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 1: and a new thermostat. That water pumps the most miserable

149
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 1: job I've ever done on a car. But then when,

150
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 1: oh yeah, when fans come on? So everybody said, well,

151
00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 1: you need a temperature sensor, so I put a new

152
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 1: one in. The Fans still come on. So I took

153
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 1: the thirty am fuse relays out, and the fans still

154
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 1: come on. Did you have the problem prior to the repair. No? Never.

155
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 1: Did you think the fans ever come on on this car,

156
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 1: even the summer if it was five or nineties. Did

157
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 1: you did you touch the cooling fans, take the radiator out,

158
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:25,559
Speaker 1: any any fan work at all? Well, yeah, I took

159
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 1: the I took the fans out to get the radiator out.

160
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 1: You did a radiator. I lost track of this somewhere here.

161
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 1: Go back over this again for me, Matthew. I'm sorry.

162
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 1: I put a new radiator in it, put all new hoses,

163
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 1: heater hoses and everything, a new water pump and a

164
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 1: new thermostat, and I put new belts on it. Okay,

165
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 1: and and a water pump. You said, yeah, And ever

166
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 1: since you put it back together, you've got the fans

167
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:55,080
Speaker 1: running continuously as soon as you turn the key on. No,

168
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 1: I you drive it for a while so it warms

169
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 1: up a little bit, then the fans come on. Okay.

170
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:05,560
Speaker 1: What makes you think it's not overheating? Well, because of

171
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 1: the temperature gauge and feeling of the radiator hoses and

172
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 1: everything like that. Okay, have you plugged a scan tool

173
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:15,440
Speaker 1: in to look at cooling temperature? Do you have that ability? No?

174
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:19,959
Speaker 1: I don't. Okay, right, called ucas, I know your technical Yeah. Well,

175
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 1: what I'm thinking is are we trying to diagnose a

176
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 1: condition that the car is responding to? That's correct. I'd

177
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:31,959
Speaker 1: love to see what temperature the fans come on at,

178
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 1: and I'd love to see what temperature the car thinks

179
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:35,960
Speaker 1: it's running at. And I don't want to trust the gauge.

180
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 1: I've seen cases where gauges are are very inaccurate in

181
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 1: situations like this, and I really would like to see

182
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 1: what is the cool attempt censor seeing that's making a

183
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 1: come on? Do we have a blockage somewhere that is

184
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 1: centralizing heat around a sensor, causing an overreaction by the fans,

185
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:58,840
Speaker 1: but not necessarily for the rest of the vehicle. Well, interesting,

186
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,200
Speaker 1: should you see the heat or whole is our half

187
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 1: inch and five eighths So I couldn't have mixed them up.

188
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 1: There's about three other hoses and it's difficult and underneath there,

189
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 1: And did I put a hose on the intake manifold

190
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 1: on the wrong part. I don't think so. I don't

191
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:17,680
Speaker 1: think that's possible. But I just listened to what you said,

192
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,319
Speaker 1: and I thought the same thing. As the water is

193
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 1: circulating the wrong way or something, right, do we have

194
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:25,959
Speaker 1: it going the wrong way? So that brings me back

195
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 1: to I'd like to know what the temperature is, and

196
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:35,560
Speaker 1: I'd like to know is it's slowly going up the temperature? Well,

197
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:39,080
Speaker 1: not by normal, not by gauge. The computer doesn't work

198
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 1: by gauge. The computer works by a sensor. So what

199
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 1: is the cooling sensor telling the computer that it needs

200
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:47,199
Speaker 1: to turn the fans on. If the sensor is showing

201
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 1: two thirty five degrees but the gauge is showing normal,

202
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 1: then the sensor is either reading wrong, which, boy, that

203
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 1: would be a reach because you know they ever since syndrome.

204
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,840
Speaker 1: I would you usually attribute in cases like this, it

205
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 1: becomes human error, not picking on your Matthew. I give

206
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:07,320
Speaker 1: you credit for working on you know. UM, I would

207
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 1: tell you to go through hose routing. Is there a

208
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 1: way to possibly look up hose routing? Um, I'm trying

209
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 1: to think where you might be able to find pictures

210
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 1: of how the hoses went. I got a picture from

211
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:24,320
Speaker 1: the Nissan dealer over in uh Over in Saginaw, and

212
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 1: it's it's kind of hard to write, but I I

213
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:32,080
Speaker 1: just think they're on right. But I'm listening to you.

214
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 1: I think you're real technical, and uh this thing is

215
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 1: And how could the fans come on when I take

216
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 1: the the fan relays or fuses out? Well, that's a

217
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:44,679
Speaker 1: fair question. I'll tell you what. Matthew, Sit tight. Let

218
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 1: me pull over and take a pause. I don't want

219
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:47,440
Speaker 1: to I don't want to run out of this question.

220
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 1: Let me let me take a pause. When I come back,

221
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 1: we'll finish this up. I'm running any of the car doctor.

222
00:11:51,440 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 1: We'll be back right after this. For the best in

223
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 1: car advice, give Ron a call eight five five five

224
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:12,200
Speaker 1: zero zero zero. Now back to Matthew, you're still there. Yeah,

225
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:16,560
Speaker 1: So two things come to mind sitting here thinking about it. One,

226
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 1: I'd like to know what engine temperature is. What is

227
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 1: the PCM? Seeing temperature was all right? Cooling fans on

228
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 1: that car, I sat and recalled come around two between

229
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 1: two hundred and two hundred and five degrees if the

230
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:31,839
Speaker 1: engines running. If the fans come on at two oh five,

231
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 1: then that's right, that's where they're supposed to come on.

232
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:39,440
Speaker 1: The question then becomes do we possibly have a shorten

233
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 1: the wiring? And I'm just running through all the possibilities.

234
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,959
Speaker 1: Do we have a problem with a shorted power or

235
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 1: a shorted ground connection? Energizing the fans via the PCM

236
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 1: pulling the relay that ear car may put that vehicle

237
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 1: into failsafe mode where the fans turn on automatically. So

238
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 1: don't use that as a diagnostic tool. That's the wrong

239
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 1: direct and to go. So get that. Get that out

240
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 1: of your head. So what engine temperature? The last thing

241
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,959
Speaker 1: I want you to verify. I don't think you've got

242
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:10,959
Speaker 1: the hoses on wrong. I think you'd have to work

243
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,719
Speaker 1: it all right. And talking to you, I think you're

244
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 1: technically competent just from your conversation we're having. I want

245
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,080
Speaker 1: you to make sure you've got the sirup belt on

246
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 1: the right side of the water pump? Are you? Did you?

247
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 1: Because I think it's I think it's that generation it

248
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 1: started in went up to a two thousand two two

249
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,199
Speaker 1: centers and ultimates. I think you can put the belt

250
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 1: on the wrong side of the pump tension it. It

251
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:42,560
Speaker 1: looks right, but you're actually spinning the water pump backwards.

252
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 1: And that's exactly what I think you did. I bet you,

253
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 1: I bet you. Okay, um, take a look at that.

254
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 1: All right, kiddo, Thank you so much. You're very welcome.

255
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:57,080
Speaker 1: Call me back, let me know what happens. But I

256
00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 1: bet you that's it. I'm curious. We'll see in Matthew,

257
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 1: let's get over to in Virginia. Eleven tourists back up

258
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 1: cameras upside down. Well, as long as you uh, as

259
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 1: long as you know where you're going upside down backwards,

260
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. Tell me the story here, Greg, Well, uh,

261
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:16,720
Speaker 1: I got I purchased four tourists from the neighbor down

262
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 1: the street, and then I've got I love that card.

263
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 1: It's really comfortable and all that stuff. But the camera

264
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 1: it's upside down, and when you look at the picture,

265
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 1: and then about every twenty times that I back up,

266
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 1: it'll go right side up again and it will be fine,

267
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 1: and then the very next time I use it, it

268
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 1: flips upside down again. All right, it's it's either out

269
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 1: of calibration. There is a calibration procedure that has to

270
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 1: be done by scan tool. That's that's probably not it, okay,

271
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 1: but that would be the first step. And the reason

272
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 1: I say that is because you just can't go and

273
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 1: put a camera in one of those without calibrating it.

274
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 1: I've seen people do it without calibration, but then they

275
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 1: end up with this problem and some other things. So

276
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 1: you want to make sure you calibrate it, all right. Uh,

277
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 1: If you have the ability to calibrate it and calibration

278
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:16,239
Speaker 1: doesn't work, then it likely needs a camera replacement. Camera replacement.

279
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 1: So you know, I've had people tell me that it's

280
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 1: a bad ground. I've had people tell me turn the

281
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 1: camera upside down and if the camera, if the camera,

282
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 1: if the camera powers up, the camera powers up. What

283
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 1: happens is it's something inside the camera that's been a

284
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 1: common failure. The other the other thing you can consider

285
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 1: is because I think you're going to find that the

286
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 1: Ford camera is probably six. Don't faint. Um, you know

287
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 1: the price of technology, there are alternatives out there. I

288
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 1: am almost certain Dormant Products makes a replacement review camera

289
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 1: for that vehicle because I believe and I believe they

290
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 1: got into the market and I think they're half the

291
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 1: price of the O A and on a on a

292
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 1: ten year old vehicle. If they make one. You can

293
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 1: check out their website. Just Google search Dormant Products. I

294
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 1: believe it's Dormant Products dot com as a matter of fact.

295
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 1: But you can look to see do they have a

296
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 1: camera and if they do, um, it's probably half the

297
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 1: price of the O E and on a on a

298
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 1: ten year old car. You know, if the camera at

299
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 1: the camera last another three to four years, wouldn't you

300
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 1: be thrilled at half the price? So um? But yeah,

301
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 1: I think that's where you're headed. Regardless of where you

302
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 1: get it from, that camera will have to be calibrated though. Okay,

303
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 1: now is that something I have to take into the

304
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 1: dealer to have calibrated? Yes, sir, that's a that is

305
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 1: a that is a very specific scan tool operation type

306
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 1: of repair. You could install the camera. It's nuts and

307
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 1: bolts to install the camera if you're competent taking you know,

308
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 1: screws out and trim off and your patient. And I'm sure,

309
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 1: I'm sure there's a million YouTube videos that explains it, uh,

310
00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 1: you know, but yet to get it calibrated. The dealer

311
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 1: would still have to calibrate that that that that camera.

312
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:06,200
Speaker 1: So alright, so al right, well, thank you for the direction.

313
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 1: Very welcome, You're very welcome. You'll be well. Take good

314
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:12,679
Speaker 1: care of Greg, you know. And it's it's sort of

315
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 1: timely that we ended the hour with Greg's call, because

316
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:18,399
Speaker 1: you know, coming up next we're going to be talking

317
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 1: to someone from Launch about aid DOS Advanced Driver Assist

318
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:25,919
Speaker 1: Systems and the cameras. Somebody was telling me they just

319
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 1: purchased a car the other day and it's got a

320
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:34,639
Speaker 1: camera and I guess it's in the roof that gives

321
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:37,360
Speaker 1: it the ability when you're parking the car, you can

322
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:40,399
Speaker 1: see the car, or maybe it's in the side view mirrors.

323
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:43,719
Speaker 1: You can actually see around the entire car as if

324
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 1: you're looking down at it from the roof. So when

325
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:48,920
Speaker 1: you're pulling into a parking spot, it's an aerial view

326
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,359
Speaker 1: of the vehicle as you're pulling in, backing in whatever,

327
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:54,879
Speaker 1: so that you don't hit anything. Of course, I think

328
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 1: they're making it so that we don't have to have

329
00:17:56,680 --> 00:18:00,360
Speaker 1: a drive anymore, but not in New Jersey. A boy,

330
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 1: they need to come here in real soon. Hey, I'm

331
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 1: run ending of the car doctor. Come on back. We'll

332
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 1: talk to you about a DOS Advanced Driver Assist Systems

333
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:38,120
Speaker 1: one oh one right after this, don't go away. Welcome back,

334
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:41,199
Speaker 1: run Needing of the car doctor. Cameras are everywhere on

335
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:43,879
Speaker 1: cars today, and it's it's, you know, it's it just

336
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:47,359
Speaker 1: becomes more and more involved you. You can't purchase a

337
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:49,680
Speaker 1: new vehicle, it seems without some form of a camera

338
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 1: on it. But they've been around for a while and

339
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:54,680
Speaker 1: they're getting more advanced and they're getting smarter as time

340
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 1: goes by, and it's actually evolved. The addition of cameras

341
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:01,439
Speaker 1: is actually evolved into a does something mechanics have come

342
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:04,440
Speaker 1: to known as advanced driver assist systems. And we talked

343
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 1: about it from time to time as the questions come

344
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 1: up and as you bring them up, and we thought,

345
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:10,399
Speaker 1: you know what, let's reach out to an industry expert,

346
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 1: how Rich Gobin He is a product developed manager over

347
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:16,399
Speaker 1: at launched Tech USA. Launch Tech makers of scan tools

348
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:18,159
Speaker 1: and diagnostics, and we're glad to have him with us

349
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:20,440
Speaker 1: here today to talk about it. How Riach, welcome to

350
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 1: the Car Doctor. Thank you, ron Um, good afternoon. Where

351
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,440
Speaker 1: I've seen you're on the East coast. I'm in California here,

352
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:29,919
Speaker 1: so um, I haven't hit noon yet, so thank you

353
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 1: for welcoming me to the show. Well, however, however, and

354
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 1: whatever time zone it is, my friend, I'm glad you're

355
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:39,120
Speaker 1: here with us. Tell us what AID does is give

356
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 1: us an AIDS one on one. If you're explaining it

357
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 1: to your mom, how would you tell her or what

358
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 1: would you tell her? You know, this is what AI

359
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 1: dos is break it down. So the acronym aid ASK

360
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 1: stands for Advanced Driver Assistant Systems. So one thing we've

361
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:54,879
Speaker 1: got to keep a note there and take note of

362
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 1: a keyword to me is assistant system So ad ASK

363
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 1: first started in around two thousand six. I believe Lexus

364
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 1: was the first manufacturer to really advent some type of

365
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 1: a VAST into one of their models. Um Fast forwards

366
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:13,720
Speaker 1: more than a decade later, where at the point where

367
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 1: aid AS is very common across the whole spectrum manufacturers

368
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:23,200
Speaker 1: from the euro to the Asian to the domestics. UM.

369
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:25,360
Speaker 1: About five years ago you could you would only find

370
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 1: it on their premium models, but now what you're starting

371
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 1: to see is even on the base model. Something as

372
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:33,919
Speaker 1: simple as the Nissan Sentra has some port form of

373
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 1: an ADAS system. So what is a s UM. So

374
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:40,720
Speaker 1: there are usually three elements to AID as they're The

375
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 1: first element is the l K A and the l

376
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 1: D A and that stands for lane keep assists and

377
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:51,639
Speaker 1: lane right UM driver sists, so departure sist. Let me

378
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 1: correct myself. And that's basically UM mounted on a camera

379
00:20:55,640 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 1: that's mounted on the front windshield, and that camera monitors

380
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:05,720
Speaker 1: UM surrounding type external objects such as other cars, UM,

381
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 1: pedestrians in some cases on premium models, and it just

382
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 1: contributes to the driver having that extra pair of eyes

383
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 1: and that visibility UM. And inevitably the goal of EID

384
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 1: actors just to facilitate a more safer driver experience for

385
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:25,120
Speaker 1: everyone on the road. For our listeners that might have

386
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:29,720
Speaker 1: a vehicle that now has adaptive cruise control, for example,

387
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 1: we'll we'll put it into something maybe the listeners have

388
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:36,480
Speaker 1: already experienced and not realized how they got there. So

389
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:38,680
Speaker 1: if you purchase, for example, I know someone with a

390
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:42,639
Speaker 1: four to escape it has adaptive cruise control. You can

391
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 1: set the cruise control to sixty five, get out onto

392
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:48,560
Speaker 1: the highway, and the carl goes sixty five. If someone

393
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 1: pulls in front of you, the camera in the windshield

394
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:54,920
Speaker 1: sees that person and realizes that if they're going slower,

395
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 1: it automatically slows you down so you don't have to

396
00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:00,960
Speaker 1: disengage the cruise. It helps keep pace the traffic. That's

397
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:05,119
Speaker 1: part of what the cameras do. Correct correct, Yes, so

398
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 1: that is one element of the l K A and

399
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:09,040
Speaker 1: l d A, the lane cap assist in the lane

400
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 1: departure system that um it ties into that adaptive truth control, which,

401
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 1: as you just mentioned, is very common a lot of

402
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:19,080
Speaker 1: equals nowadays. Interesting. So they've got that now. And I

403
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:21,199
Speaker 1: want to point out what what triggered my in my

404
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:23,719
Speaker 1: brain when you said it's it's shooting out the windshield.

405
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 1: So for the person that puts and I just bring

406
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:28,440
Speaker 1: this up because I've seen this that puts the wrong

407
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 1: windshield wiper on a vehicle and now the wiper sweep

408
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 1: is in front of the camera. That would probably drive

409
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 1: the camera crazy, right, Yeah, Actually in some cases that

410
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 1: can also decalibrate the camera, and you might need a recalibration.

411
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 1: In most cases, you'll need a recalibration with the approved

412
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:49,400
Speaker 1: calibration unit. And and and that that's gonna we'll, we'll, we'll,

413
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:51,800
Speaker 1: we'll get to that part of the conversation because that's

414
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:54,639
Speaker 1: a whole another but that's that's a whole not experiences

415
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:57,679
Speaker 1: as that, right. Um, what about if snow was on

416
00:22:57,720 --> 00:22:59,879
Speaker 1: the windshield and you're driving with snow on the glass,

417
00:22:59,880 --> 00:23:02,720
Speaker 1: the camera can't see through that, so the system won't work.

418
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 1: Does it set off any kind of a false warning

419
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:08,160
Speaker 1: or false signal? Does it warn you that the system

420
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:12,040
Speaker 1: is down? I wonder I guess it does, right, Yes,

421
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:15,479
Speaker 1: it does. Um, it will give you, uh kind of

422
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:18,640
Speaker 1: like a prompt that something has impacted the system, and

423
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 1: you know it's um to check that driver's system. So

424
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:25,240
Speaker 1: in many cases it might even trigger like a code.

425
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:28,119
Speaker 1: So it just depends on the manufacturer. But yes, that

426
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:31,560
Speaker 1: would hinder the system also. And then there's also and

427
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 1: then there's also blind spot monitoring. Harrish, tell us about that. Now,

428
00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:38,240
Speaker 1: what's that that's different? Than l K A and l D.

429
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 1: You know, we're all gonna have abbreviations here. Uh, there's

430
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:44,160
Speaker 1: l K A, l D, A B S m um

431
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 1: A U m uh. You know it's gonna be like

432
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:50,960
Speaker 1: alphabets super pretty soon. Talking about cars, blind blind SPA

433
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 1: monitoring is what that's a whole another part of the system.

434
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 1: So blind spot monitoring is the second type of system

435
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 1: that's um embedded into the eight A system, and that's

436
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:05,240
Speaker 1: usually centers that are mounted on side mirrors or rare

437
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 1: bumpers to detect um to detect any external objects in

438
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:13,440
Speaker 1: those visible points. So if they detect, if the central

439
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:16,680
Speaker 1: detect something, they'll usually alert the driver by a beep

440
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 1: or an audible um and you know that would just

441
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:24,879
Speaker 1: give the prompt there and then and then there's there's

442
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:27,679
Speaker 1: a round view monitoring, which I was actually talking about

443
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:31,200
Speaker 1: just before the last break. They now got the ability

444
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:34,200
Speaker 1: that when you're pulling into a parking spot, it's there's

445
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:37,640
Speaker 1: an aerial view. And I jokingly comment that, I said,

446
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:39,639
Speaker 1: I guess the cameras mounted in the roof, but it's not.

447
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:42,639
Speaker 1: It's it's it's cameras that are built in around the

448
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 1: vehicle that are projecting a degree view as if you

449
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:51,120
Speaker 1: were looking from the top down. Correct, yes, correct, and no, UM,

450
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 1: we're on it's not um. That person did not update

451
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:56,679
Speaker 1: to the drone package when they bought that particular model.

452
00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:01,720
Speaker 1: The around view is the tistically like you said just mentioned,

453
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 1: it's a three sixty degree view of the area of

454
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:07,200
Speaker 1: the vehicle and um, and that usually has four to

455
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 1: six fish eye cameras. Fish eye cameras are very miniscule

456
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:13,440
Speaker 1: UM cameras that, but they have a really good scope

457
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:17,359
Speaker 1: in terms of visibility. UM. So in the cameras. Some

458
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:19,720
Speaker 1: of the places though the four cameras could mount with

459
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 1: be the front bumper, there's another one at the rear bumper,

460
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:25,800
Speaker 1: and then on the two side mirrors. So my first

461
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 1: thought becomes, you know, being in the business fixing cars,

462
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:31,879
Speaker 1: and I think about all the people that come in

463
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:34,639
Speaker 1: on a on a weekly basis with Oops, I knocked

464
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 1: my rear view mirror off and it's a three mirror.

465
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 1: I bet mirrors are going to be more expensive now, Yes,

466
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 1: mirrors are going to be more expensive and um in

467
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:47,360
Speaker 1: addition to that calibration cost that you know, I'm sure

468
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 1: you'll we'll discuss more in a bit yeah. Well, as

469
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:53,920
Speaker 1: as a matter of fact, let's do this. Let me

470
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:55,440
Speaker 1: pull over and take a pause. I'm gonna hold you

471
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:57,639
Speaker 1: over a second segment if you have the time, because

472
00:25:57,640 --> 00:25:59,119
Speaker 1: I want to give some I want to give some

473
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:02,240
Speaker 1: time to the repair side of this and the diagnostics.

474
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 1: So when we come back, let's talk about that the mirror.

475
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 1: You knocked the mirror off your car twenty years ago,

476
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:10,600
Speaker 1: Well it's too long. You knocked your mirror if your

477
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:13,119
Speaker 1: car ten years ago it wasn't an ADS system, and

478
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:15,840
Speaker 1: you knock your mirror off the ADS system car of today.

479
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:17,920
Speaker 1: What could the cost differences be and what could the

480
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 1: repair procedures be, And let's lay it out for the

481
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:22,880
Speaker 1: folks like that. All right, Harris, you stay right there.

482
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:24,639
Speaker 1: I'm on naming the car Doctor. We're gonna pull over

483
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:26,440
Speaker 1: and take a pause. We're back right after this. Don't

484
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:38,280
Speaker 1: go away, welcome back. We're on any of the car Doctor.

485
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 1: We're here with Harrish Govin. Harris, you're there from product

486
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 1: Manager Launch take USA, um, so take us through it quickly.

487
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:47,639
Speaker 1: We we take the mirror off the car of the

488
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:50,440
Speaker 1: ten year old car. That's a trip to the body shop,

489
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:55,360
Speaker 1: maybe some paint work and the mirrors bolting on. We're done. Now,

490
00:26:55,400 --> 00:27:00,280
Speaker 1: we take the mirror off something whatever with it with

491
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:03,119
Speaker 1: an AD system in it. Talk to us about the

492
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:07,399
Speaker 1: repair procedure. Yeah, So, UM, before I go into that,

493
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:09,800
Speaker 1: I'm gonna just kind of create a scenario. So you

494
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 1: remember in the eighties when you might have seen a

495
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:16,560
Speaker 1: movie where the robots would eventually rule the world. So

496
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:19,480
Speaker 1: we're coming to that time, and we're here. That time

497
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 1: is here. So like you said, you just illustrated about

498
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:25,120
Speaker 1: ten years ago you knocked UM the wing mirror out.

499
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:27,160
Speaker 1: You know, you would go pick up one at Craigan

500
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:29,520
Speaker 1: or one of your part stores and pop it in

501
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:32,399
Speaker 1: and you're good to go. So it's not so easy

502
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 1: nowadays with these newer model cars across the spectrum. Basically, UM,

503
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:41,200
Speaker 1: you would have to have that mirror replaced UM most

504
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 1: likely in a body shop and paint, etcetera, etcetera. And

505
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 1: when that's done, you will see another charge on the

506
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:51,920
Speaker 1: estimate for an aid as calibration and that's probably gonna

507
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 1: be a very extravagant cost. And I might catch you

508
00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:58,080
Speaker 1: to like, you know, clean your lens when you off

509
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:05,200
Speaker 1: your glasses. So what's happening there is UM because the

510
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:08,680
Speaker 1: ADA is embedded into the control system control modules of

511
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 1: the car at a very high level UM. There's a

512
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:17,800
Speaker 1: lot of algorithm, algorithms and geometric geometrical elements that has

513
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:22,560
Speaker 1: been programmed into that component now, so replacing the component

514
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:25,199
Speaker 1: physically is not going to suffice. You're gonna need to

515
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:31,000
Speaker 1: act its replace physically, you have to use approved as

516
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 1: calibration unit and a high high level bi directional scan

517
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:37,040
Speaker 1: tool to tap back into the control module of the

518
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:39,640
Speaker 1: car and kind of reset all the algorithms and the

519
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 1: parameters UM for the car to clear that out of

520
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 1: the because if you do, if you don't, the vehicle

521
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:51,280
Speaker 1: is not going to operate properly. Some of the safety

522
00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 1: features are disabled and you know, never mind just cruise controlled.

523
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 1: The warnings on the dashboard systems might be shut down

524
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:02,560
Speaker 1: safety systems, so just break control all that might not exist.

525
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:04,920
Speaker 1: Real fist. We had a caller about four or five

526
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:07,720
Speaker 1: months ago from Florida. She had a windshield replaced on

527
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:10,120
Speaker 1: her Super rout. The dealership never did calibration because the

528
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 1: husband didn't want to spend the money, he didn't see

529
00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:14,480
Speaker 1: the value, and as a result of that, the vehicle

530
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 1: would go into limp in and not operate properly until

531
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:19,240
Speaker 1: she called me and I said, you know what, I

532
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:21,120
Speaker 1: figured it out. I said, I bet you the system

533
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 1: needs to be calibrated. She goes, oh, yeah, we didn't

534
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:24,560
Speaker 1: do that. I think she went and yelled at her

535
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 1: husband afterwards, and UM uh uh you know, she called

536
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:30,239
Speaker 1: back a couple of weeks later said, hey, the car

537
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:33,880
Speaker 1: is fixed. You were right. So, you know, enter a

538
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:36,920
Speaker 1: company like Launch because you guys have taken on the

539
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 1: overwhelming task of trying to bring diagnostics to the marketplace

540
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 1: and educate everybody about a DOS. So talk about a

541
00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 1: basic AI DOS set up using a Launch scan tool.

542
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:51,600
Speaker 1: Tell us how it happens. We've got about three minutes ago.

543
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:56,320
Speaker 1: So up until about five years ago that was locked

544
00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 1: a locked source. O EM manufacturers and then their dealerships

545
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 1: are the only ones that could calibrate UM, such as

546
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:06,760
Speaker 1: your clients from on Florida that nice lady UM can recalibrate.

547
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:10,719
Speaker 1: We here at Launch. In the last year, UM, we

548
00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:14,440
Speaker 1: have introduced two new products, UM calibration units to the

549
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 1: automotive after market. And these calibration units are easy to

550
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:23,240
Speaker 1: use UM. They have all the o E spects and

551
00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:27,640
Speaker 1: information embedded into our software platform that's going to be

552
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:32,520
Speaker 1: consistent with the vehicle spects of what the manufacturer intended,

553
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:36,200
Speaker 1: and it's gonna be able to calibrate something such as

554
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:39,800
Speaker 1: the broken windshield that was replaced, a rare bumper that

555
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:43,640
Speaker 1: was impacted. Um pretty much the whole the whole spectrum

556
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 1: of anything in the AID as some universe when we

557
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:48,719
Speaker 1: talk about and let me just touch on that if

558
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:50,760
Speaker 1: I can, when we talk about you know it has

559
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:53,960
Speaker 1: to be calibrated for a bumper replacement. It's because their

560
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:58,800
Speaker 1: sensors in the bumper. But the calibration, the system, the calibration,

561
00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:02,120
Speaker 1: the system, whichever is sensitive to the point if the

562
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 1: paint is too thick on the bumper, that will affect

563
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:11,240
Speaker 1: how the vehicle calibrates, if it calibrates at all, correct, correct, correct.

564
00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 1: That's why it's very important that the calibration is done

565
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:19,880
Speaker 1: by approved body shop. That's that's adhering to the o

566
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:22,800
Speaker 1: e M Standards of Repair and Replacements and using o

567
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:27,720
Speaker 1: EUM parts right real quick. Can any repair shop work

568
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:33,000
Speaker 1: with ADAS equipment? Can anybody learn to use Launch equipment? Absolutely?

569
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:36,600
Speaker 1: Our latest product offering is called the Launch Export one

570
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:40,080
Speaker 1: Mobile ad S unit and this UM. We hear a

571
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:43,520
Speaker 1: launch that we recently. We really developed this this unit

572
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:46,600
Speaker 1: to work for the average mom and pops independent shop,

573
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 1: you know too, to handle and keep that revenue inside

574
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 1: if they have to replace the glass, you know, and

575
00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:55,680
Speaker 1: UM keep the revenue streams open so they can stay

576
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:59,000
Speaker 1: in business. So this unit, it's it's very compact, it's mobile.

577
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:05,720
Speaker 1: UM in the sentence a plethora of O e M

578
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:11,120
Speaker 1: Manufacturer equivalent UM panels and UM And in addition to

579

Speaker 1: You're too kind. I'm running any in the Car Doctor.

598
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:28,120
Speaker 1: We'll be back right after this. By Hey, welcome back.

599
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:29,720
Speaker 1: We're on any of the Car Doctor. Thanks again to

600
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:32,280
Speaker 1: all the folks at launch Tech USA, launch tech USA

601
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 1: dot com and her reach for taking the time today. Uh,

602
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:38,320
Speaker 1: fascinating conversation, right, you never like look at all the

603
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:40,440
Speaker 1: cameras they're putting on cars and how they're turning them

604
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:43,360
Speaker 1: into giant computers. And I guess that's sort of segues

605
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:45,720
Speaker 1: into my next my next segment here that I wanted

606
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:50,959
Speaker 1: to talk about. Hey, Tom, your daughter is away at college. Correct? Um,

607
00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:54,040
Speaker 1: she's yes, and she at least until the middle of

608
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:55,640
Speaker 1: next month. So what is she a hunter? She's a

609
00:33:55,720 --> 00:34:01,320
Speaker 1: hundred miles away. Uh right, So do you have problems

610
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:04,440
