If you follow a manufacture flow chart when troubleshooting computer inputs and outputs, they almost always have you disconnect the computer and sensor to perform resistance measurements on the wiring to isolate the problem. This is a very time consuming process that can be completely bypassed with even better and more accurate results following my methods. In this video I will show you how to quickly and safely check the wiring, sensor and computer using scan data and a 5000 ohm resistor. An incandescent test light may be used as a substitute for the 5k ohm resistor.
Engine Performance Diagnostics chapter 10
- how to quickly test sensor wiring (any 3 wire potentiometer or pressure sensor circuit on any car)
- 5k ohm resistor (incandescent test light may be used instead)
- digital multimeter
- scan tool
- backprobing pins
