In this video we’re following up on a previous video, in which we found a poor engine ground. This time, we’re using some simple voltage tests on a three-wire pressure sensor to verify wiring and signal circuit integrity. No ohmmeter, wiring diagram or flow charts required! This video can be used to support chapter 8 in my book and the procedures shown can be applied to all types of pressure sensors. (MAP, power steering, transmission, BARO, fuel pressure etc)
Engine Performance Diagnostics chapter 2
- check engine light (P0550)
- replace power steering pressure sensor
- using scan data
- distinguishing between a current (hard fault) and history fault (soft fault)
- identifying the type of sensor based on the number of wires used
- how to understand circuit design based on the type of sensor
- using a scope to test a 5V sensor for supply, signal and ground
- how to verify your scope connection to a circuit
- verifying signal circuit integrity with signal voltage fixed low
- scan tool
- lab scope
