Welcome to the feedback page where you can post feedback and read feedback about ScannerDanners book and ScannerDanner Premium.
Hi scanner Danner. I reside in south africa.
I want you to know that you are the best. I am starting out and watch you at work as often as possible. I am very impressed with your scale of knowledge and especially your teaching abilities. There are not many people out there who care the way you do.
Many many thanks for sharing.
Excellent field manual for any level automotive technician.
I worked through this book before religiously before I began my career in the automotive field.
when I arrived at PEP BOYS for $12/hr in the year 2024, yes $12/hr, it was quite apparent to my managers I had more technical knowledge than everyone in the shop combined, even though they had decades of under the hood experience .
Within three months PEP BOYS raised my pay to $20/hr.
This book saved my life, I woke up everyday dreading life because I didn’t have a career I loved, because of Professor Danner’s great volume of work now I do,
I shudder at the thought of where I would be had I not bought the book and subscribed to the premium channel, perhaps dead or homeless, it wasn’t looking good and now it is.
I want to express my appreciation for Pauls training material and how far I've come because of it. I have learnt almost everything I know about *accurate* diagnostics and the testing of electrical (and mechanical too, for that matter) components from this website.
I now work for a Bentley specialist here in the UK and work almost entirely on Bentleys (as well as some supercar brands that our sister company sends us when their workload is too high).
I am only 24 and have been doing this properly for less than 3 years but I'm teaching technicians with decades of experience how to properly diagnose cars and more importantly how to avoid misdiagnosing. The amount of electronics on these cars, even the older ones, is ridiculous and having this level of repetitive training will put you leagues above the vast majority of experienced technicians.
Having a thorough understanding of the fundamentals laid out by Paul has helped illustrate something he has said time and time again: you can apply these basic principles to virtually any car. I've worked on some of the most exotic cars around, as well as cars that are one bad day away from the scrapyard. The basic principles are always the same.
I went from having virtually no understanding of the electronic components of a car to being the guy people call when they can't diagnose a fault, all because of the training provided by Paul.
Apply yourself, pay attention and you won't be disappointed. This is the real deal.
Paul, I've had many teachers on many subjects. And you are number one, they don't come any better.

Been self teaching myself with this, jim morton and john thorton seminars and have learned so much over the last two years. Fell in love with automotive diagnostics from watching Paul on fb. I have learned so much from him along with this book, he is so fun to watch because of the excitement he has....THX for all the information paul.
Good morning,
My husband has went through your program 1 time already and is doing it again. As he says, "There is always more information that may have not been retained so it's always beneficial to go back over information."
We started our shop in 2019 and we really enjoy it. Our staff, even though small, is outstanding and always looking for growth. We started our technician's on a SCANNERDANNER program within our shop. The guys are scheduled for your program - 2 times a week for 1 hour each time. That is definitely something that we set forward for learning/informational/referencing. Thank you very much for putting this program together.
Kind regards,

I wish there was regular new training videos from your teachings at Rosedale Tech, it would be nice to see new content. I realize that the concepts remain the same but seeing new cases would be awesome.
Reply from SD:
Thank you Jon. We still bring new case studies to SD Premium on a regular basis! There is a "New Videos List" in the drop down menu. I also do some guest appearances and classes at the school, but I had to step out of full-time teaching in late 2018 due to the massive amount of work and time it takes to produce this channel for you guys. But I promise to continue to build on what we have. We are already doing this now with other technicians and trainers on the frontlines of this industry, helping me to bring you guys content that I cannot. And of course I will continue to bring content of my own too! Thank you for helping me make this all possible.
Hi Paul
I am from South Africa and I have been watching your YouTube videos for a while now and I just want to say that I think you are doing an awesome job. The way you keep the skill alive, great stuff. And the key. "Don't be a parts changer". That is a global problem believe me.
The world needs more of your skill and the passion to carry over the skill to the youth.
Keep it going.

I want to say thank you for putting your experience down into a book! I ordered the pdf but as soon as I started to read the material, I will obtain a copy of the physical version of the book.
I come from the "old school" where the computers were just first coming onto the automotive scene. That is where most of my automotive repair knowledge lies.
Thanks to this publication and your videos on YouTube, I am catching up with the times! Not only do you do an excellent job in your explanations, you also have some case studies that we can use to apply in our situations.
Even though I have read the manual, I am going to re read the pdf again because I want to thouroughly comprehend these new systems and the sensors that make them work.
Again thank you for the book. I hope to be able to grab an physical copy of the book soon.
I had problems logging on Paul and Kristin helped me and wow I'm liking this informative automotive teaching I signed up for n3 months thinking of doing doing longer commitment loving this Godbles Paul and Kristin
mr danner had your book for awile now I started the premium . so excided , i am sure i'll enjoy learning from you my Amigo. i'm 74 but still want to help family and friends .
THANK SO MUCH SIR GOD B U
Had a small problem with my subscription was taken care of quick.
Everything is great now.
God Bless You Paul !!!!!
Merry Christmas !!!!!
Changed my life and career forever! Best move I ever made. Buy the book, learn it, make money!
I just finished the very first lesson tonight. I am blown away by how much I was able to learn in just one session. In my years at dealerships, training courses and on the job training situations, I have never had this explained to me so simply and been able to retain so much. 100% worth the money, thank you scanner danner for allowing me to take my skills as a true diagnostic technician took the next level!
Hola , me gustaría agradecer las contribuciónes que ha hecho Paul Danner a esta industria y sobre todo a mi capacitación con sus clases en YouTube y ahora que por fin pude hacer llegar su libro a México , e podido tener un refuerzo de lo aprendido y me a inspirado a adquirir hace 6 años mi primer ociloscopio y ahora que tengo ese conocimiento me a ayudado a dar el siguiente paso con la adquisición de un picoscope y hacer crecer el negocio familiar en el área de diagnóstico automotriz
Paul Danner is an indispensable part of the diagnostic community. His diagnostic approach and teaching style has single handedly improved my day to day diagnostic abilities. Before I found his youtube channel 5 years ago, I was feeling overwhelmed by the complexity of some of the circuits involved on these modern vehicles. His approach to basic electrical building blocks reply can accelerate your understanding of these circuits quickly. I have a very good fundamental understanding of what it takes to troubleshoot and reverse these circuits now because of him and his class. Why spend hours digging through flow charts to end up at the last step of Replace Computer with KNOWN good part.. really.. that's not productive. Once you master his teachings you will be equipped to come up with your own test to narrow down diagnostic possibilities to a minimum quicker and more efficient than the people who built these components. Why waste time accessing a module hidden behind the dash, when your testing methods can prove wiring integrity to and from the module to the component based on your fundamentals! Don't hesitate to invest in this program, trust the process and see the results!
An awesome book on driveabilty daignostics and computer systems troubleshooting. A must have for all auto techs. I'm a disabled former Auto tech . I still use it to this day.
Having been in the auto repair industry since 1982 and I also am ase certified, I have had my fair share of problem vehicles to try to figure out. I wish I had the vast knowledge that scanner danner demonstrates on his videos and in his book back when I began this journey. Many kudos to you sir for sharing with us and educating new and old technicians alike. I really enjoy your videos and learn something new from most all of them and from your book. Keep up the great job you are doing.
love book . and DAN I PRAY YOU HEAL FAST again thanks for all you do . god bless ya ...
I was in the weeds for a long time, knowing just enough to be dangerous. I was decent at mechanical faults, but when it came to electrical problems, I found myself going down rabbit holes time and time again. I'm thankful I found SD some years ago. It has allowed me a much more stable foundation and understanding of electrical theory, which I use daily to provide my own automotive service to consumers in my area.
Thank you to you and your family for choosing to share your knowledge and put out these classes, the years of videos, and also the list of approved shops! I have already had someone contact me after checking your list!
Hello, I am a 19 year old Master automotive technician for J&R auto in Olean N.. Scanner Danner has help hone in my automotive knowledge so much I have this prestige position. Scanner Danner is an awesome teacher!!!
Hi, my subscription run out in April, I've been busy, didn't realize until I wanted to do more study. I re subscribed today using PayPal. Best training I have ever done, and Ive been a mechanic for 43 years, yes I'm old! I have a small shop , and I'm a trade Teacher. Danner scanner is great. Thanks for doing the educational program, has made my working time way more enjoyable. People think I'm smart, but I think I am smart to find you guys , who help me understand car systems. Thankyou.
Hi. I am from South Africa, I have not found anyone or organization that comes near to the level of scannerdanner in my country. The content he puts out is second to none . I have the premium subscription and it has taken my diagnostic skills to another level, I had no clue how to use an automotive oscilloscope and today I am a proud owner of a picosope , wps 500 and lots of other fancy tools and I can use them with confidence,this is because of Mr Danner and teaching methods .. even my wife has learned some stuff whilst I watch his classes. His classes are easy to understand and I have learned so many easy time saving diagnostic tricks which has me now diagnosing vehicles very quickly, aslo I am fixing cars that others failed to fix . I have so much work now that I have to turndown some jobs as I can't cope. ( I work alone part time). The subscription, the book etc is worth it .
Just some feedback about your repair videos. Thanks they are truly inspirational. I believe as you do... Don't be a parts changer. I want to know why my car doesn't work so I can better understand it. Your videos help in that respect, Thanks.
On a note about a recent fix. I recently gave my Jeep WJ a full tune-up. It fired up great and ran perfectly. When I shut it off she would only crank, not start. No trouble codes. After it cooled she would start and run great. After it warmed up and either stalled or I shut it off; she would only crank. I went back and forth for a week on this. Even watched your video on a similar scenario. I was not prepared to call it the PCM. That was replaced a year ago. I checked for spark after it warmed up, and would not start, and spark was present. I used the Noids to test for the fuel injection signal, it too was present. I found it hard to believe the injectors were bad, they are new. So I ohmed out my injectors when hot.and they were all 3 ohms higher than manufacture specs. Yet when cool they ohmed out correctly. I replaced the injectors with my original ones and the Jeep runs great, no issues at all.
A lesson learned about buying cheap parts. You buy cheap and that is what you will get, cheap. There wasn't any trouble codes, suspect, because everything was working... except the injectors releasing fuel.
I thought this may help with one of your classes as another potential cause of a problem, research all angles.
Thanks again. Keep the tips coming, they do help.

Hey Paul my Name is shaun Gous 56 yrs old and have been a sparky all my life. I'm loving the leasons and still learning at my age. Keep up the good work , all the best from Aussy.
Your class and book has changed MY mindset from part changer, to test don't guess!
Paul, I’m not sure if this will get to you or not but I’ve been meaning to write this for a while. I’m 43 and been working at the same trucking company for 20 years. About 3 years ago, I decided to make a switch from driver and go work in the shop. I’ve always worked on my own cars but honestly I didn’t know shit. I got to the shop and quickly realized I had to learn how to diagnose. I was amazed that quite honestly, even the couple old timers were just part changers. I found your channel, bought your book and got your premium subscription. I’ve learned so much from you and for the first time in my life I actually enjoy my job. I’ve become the go to diag guy in the shop already. I still have so much to learn and it sometimes is real challenge retaining so much info. I really just wanted to say thank you so much for your all your hard work because without you I don’t think I could’ve made it in this field.
Truck driving through Pennsylvania right now wish I had time to stop and say howdy you and your brother and Caleb y'all do a great job
Paul Danner is the best! Failed my L1 ASE Exam so I am using these videos to attack my weaknesses head on! Plus he even mailed me 10,000 cookies!
i have a harder time learning in classroom environment or live online. This is a great self paced way to learn, with high quality content and an affordable price.
thank you sir, for helping educate and improve the industry.
I have learned a lot of some of your videos. So I wanted to keep a refere nce document to get back to. Thats why I purchasded the Ebook. An ebook is usually something you can DOWNNLOAD for offline use. This is just online access, which is different. What if your site is down?
Paul,
Your videos helped me out so-much thank you.The information and troubleshooting steps you shared help me out tremendously. I can actually say I probably would of not been able to repaired my son car without your video content thank you.
Alex M.
This is an outstanding book full of detailed instructions on how to perform multiple tests on many different components. I love that there are links to videos that go along with what you're teaching. That helps out a lot. I have the Book, the digital book, and I subscribe to Scannerdanner premium. I love all that knowledge at my fingertips. Thanks for all you do Paul, you're an amazing Technician and teacher.
Recently I was on YouTube watching some of my favorite automotive repair and diagnostic channels and of course that always takes me to SCANNERDANNER. The video I was watching featured a product from Topdon which ultimately became the Topdon Phoenix Lite 2 bidirectional scan tool. In the video, Mr. Paul Danner put his personal seal of approval on this tool. I believe he said if one was needing an affordable bidirectional scan tool "this might be your guy!". That was all I needed to hear comming from a diagnostic professional of his stature. This is an amazing instrument and was already more than fairly priced but then Mr. Danner graciously and unexpectedly gave me a $150.00 grant to offset the expense and AESwave.com MATCHED his gift saving me an astounding $300.00 off of the retail price! A true blessing I never expected. This is just something that does not ordinarily happen. I challenge anyone to top this deal! AESwave will always be my go to source for diag tools and of course there is no finer professional than Paul Danner to learn from. I cannot thank Mr. Danner and AESwave enough for their kindness and help. Without it I doubt I would have been able to buy this amazing instrument at this time considering all of the hardship taking place presently in our communities.
Soncerely,
Kayla Babson
I bought your book and watch your videos. As a non mechanic I’m limited in how much of the repairs I can do but your info has helped me be informed about what’s wrong before having my vehicles repaired. I’m very much looking forward to hiring companies that you’ve trained in diagnostics for future repairs. I don’t mind paying extra for the correct diagnosis.
Excellent book! Your content has been my go to all the way through school and still to this day! Just some feedback, would be really cool if you could add a couple chapters on intake/exhaust waveforms and in cylinder! Am currently trying to learn those diagnostic techniques. Was looking in your book the other day and realized there was no information on those! Keep up the good work Paul!
I purchased Paul's book when it first came out about 10 years ago. I didn't have a mentor and everything I was learning, was done the hard way. ScannerDanner has helped me become the technician I am today and Paul is one of the main reasons I have become an Automotive Instructor! Truly changed my life and I will be forever grateful.
I found ScannerDanner on social media. I'm a fellow technician working at a dealership. I enjoy the challenge diagnosing different types of concerns. I learn new things everyday and am always looking for ways to make myself more proficient and reduce the chances for comeback repairs. I bought the engine diagnostic book and I am impressed with the quality and knowledgeable information contained within. You don't find this kind of real world information in any other books. If you are looking to make yourself better, please go pickup this book; it will not let you down.
Very nice
Absolutely love my book and the premium channel! Always look forward to the great content to watch on my lunch break and before bed. I'm a tech at a small dealership in southern Ontario and have struggled in the past with doing more in depth diags but your You Tube and now premium channel have helped immensely with better diags and better understanding of systems and loving what I do again (so much more satisfying to find and fix problem cars then just churning out brakes and services). Thank you for all that you do!
Paul Danner is awesome! yes sir i said you are awesome!!, like many you have changed the way i diagnose vehicles, the simplicity of knowledge you teach and proof is astounding, makes lifes easier and well makes working on vehicles easier imo, i ask my co workers, hey you know scanner danner, paul danner, they are like no, well if you want to get into electrical and diagnostics, there are many to learn from but scanner danner is a great, like him and many they all care, want us all to succeed! I personally thank you for everything you have done, not only for yourself but for all of us tech's!!
Thank You for taking time from your busy schedule to make a difference
Hello, just wanted to tell you how impressed I am with your help videos. I had a no start condition with a 00 jeep xj and after watching a few videos about the 5 volt reference voltage, it pointed me in the right direction and after some diagnostic based on those videos my xj is once again ready for a winter in Arizona. You sir have a talent that is unbelievable and I salute you on said talent and your teaching abilities. I'm a retired tool and diemaker and am thoroughly impressed.
Thank you, Robert K.
SD's YouTube channel is amazing. I have learned so much watching these videos. Having been in the teaching field for over 30 years I know what dedication it takes to make these videos happen. I spend most of my year in seriously remote areas of the world teaching those with the desire to learn. I can appreciate the passion it takes to share so much... and with total strangers.
For me, getting an engine running could literally be a matter of life and death. I am hooked. Expect to see me following you even chance I can get a wifi signal.

Excellent read and worth every penny.
I have a request, please: I'd like for the hard copy to be sent to me, as I've unsubscribed from the premium service (but I've already purchased the e-book); I'm in Nigeria currently, and don't always have time to access the internet on the go, so I'd like the hard copy, if possible, and I'll pay the difference and shipping, where necessary.
Thank you.
i am a ase l1 master certified tech with 25 years experience and Paul makes it so easy to learn and im no dummy but i wish i had a quarter of Pauls knowledge because i would be a superstar at the dealership. he can make u understand trouble shooting,electronic designs and theory of operations and everything else u ever needed to or wanted to know about diagnostics. i was leaving the industry but he inspired me to start my own mobile diag business and i have a passion for it now un like anything ive done before. it can change your life. thank you Paul Danner, Godbless
My life changed because of the mistake of meeting you on YouTube, in recent years, every year I take your online course from the beginning and every time I understand more and more.
From a 45-year-old man without a goal in life, I became an appreciated diagnostician and requested by many happy clients.
I wanted more and went to study in the field for 3 years to get my license.
Now I am professionally fulfilled and thanks to you I can pay my rent, bills and my family is happy.
Thanks Paul
hey Paul, those who can't do teach? bull****! in order to know the subject completely AND be able to pass it along to others is a gift. there is no more honorable profession than teaching. and you nail it. I am 67 years old and i signed up because of 3 diagnostic guys who couldn't fix my car. Thousands of dollars, a car that is out of service for two years and more parts changing than i can remember brought me here. i had all but given up but here i am with renewed faith, Back to School! i have never been more excited to be back in class. and i now have hope i will be able to fix my car in time. sincere thanks!
I have watched your videos and I have learned a lot from them. Thank you for all you do. I am an electrical engineer by trade so I know the electrical concepts which allow me to grasp the ideas of workings of sensors, etc. I have one small issue with one term you use: sine wave. I've seen you call several types of varying current signals as sine waves. The term sine wave comes from the term sinusoid and it has a shape like an ac current from an outlet. It has a mathematical expression and used by mathematicians, engineers, etc. There are many other shapes: square, sawtooth, triangle, etc. Many have odd shapes and don't have names. I will give you 5 stars when you stop using the term for non-sinusoidal wave forms. Thank you for your time.
Mr. Paul Danner,
Thank you so much for always putting a 110 percent in everything you teach. It's a pleasure to be apart of your premium online classes and case studies. It's amazing and a privilege to be taught by a person that truly loves and is proud of what they are teaching. It shows in every thing you do. Bless you and your family, have a fantastic thanks giving. !!

You saved my sanity. My son's 2013 ford edge was "misfiring" yet my forscan program kept reporting g ZERO misfires yet my butt knows what a misfire feels like. Lost trust in software and resorted to reacing a coil and moved it thru the front 3 cylinders to no avail. Damn transmission needed fluid change and Voila! Fixed.
Short videos should be called the SS edition like the SS camaro or Chevelle. Could be called super short too. You are just awesome.
Received your book as a gift and I love it. Thank you for all that you do to make the automotive world a better place!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hapen to to a UTUBE search on mis-fire on my 2002 ford escape.
I watched your utube video on ignition coils connected wrong. To my greatest excitment, i was watching the exact problem for my vechicle! I could you ten (10) stars if it were possible. I do not have the tools you utilized in your video, and i dont know how to use them at this point, but i am encouraged to press on and now follow your channels and features to learn from your presentations. i commend and thank you very very much. i feel like i was in a college classroom learning from someone who explains and demonstrates in a clear and consice manner. Can i call you "Dr. Scanner?"
Hey Paul, so here’s an example I think you should see. Hopefully this will complete you a little more. About six years ago I bought a $300 POS truck to get me through automotive school while I did mobile mechanic work. I wasn’t that great lol. About a year after that I started running my business out of my mobile van. Seriously I think I’ve watched every single one of your videos multiple times. I just hired 2 guys and I got cars coming all day. Always give yourself credit man! You have helped technicians all over the world become better and more efficient at what they do. Was going to post a picture of my shop now but it’s not letting me ?. Keep up the good work man!
Hey Paul, Just stopped in to say thank you for everything, your clear thinking of keep it simple ..... is definitely separates the pack. Just opened my own shop beginning of this year working by myself as a drop off service at night until I have enough clientele to go fulltime. Just looked at a 2010 Honda fit that another shop had for a month and just did a quick code scan and found a code would not clear and kept saying solenoid open. Well got out some wiring diagrams and traced to a broken wire that another shop was going to put a transmission in it and call it a day. Well ended up fixing the broken wire and saving customer thousands and they are beyond grateful as am I at the end of the day. This is why I signed up to be a tech and teachers like you are the reason I stuck with it! Just wanted to say thank you and keep on doing what your doing because even as a over 20 year tech you can still learn things.
Alex Alejandre i don't work in the car industry. I bought ScannerDanner book and pay the $11 for premium membership. I was in forklifts the big container handlers. I worked in the construction and mining products. And in shipping environments for one dealer. Trust me once you understand the principles taught by him. The rest is easy. All the principles can be used to fix any thing electrical and fault find any circuit. It sound like I change jobs often but not really. My bucket list as a tech is to say that one day when I cant do this any more. That I have worked on anything and everything that I could get my hands on. Using universal methods to solve problems. And he covers everything you can use across all makes.
Paul is one the the best automotive teachers I have ever listened to. He is great at simplifying problems. Taught me how to think about solutions without following the waste of time flowcharts .
Hey man, been watching your videos for a few years. I manage a shop but recently set out on a goal to get master certified by the end of the year. I’m sure you see a ton of success stories like this.. but your content works! Anyway took 4 today and passed em all and it seems like there are more electrical and circuit questions even in the brakes and suspension tests than when I originally took them. I’d read a question and have mental images of you discussing fundamentals. So for what it’s worth sir, thank you and I look forward to watching more content!
Man, if I could give you 1,000 x infinite ? Paul, I would!!! How have I never came across your site?!!!! This will be my go to site PERIOD from this day forth. Brother, I appreciate all that you do. You help thousands of people like myself. I admire your work and knowledge and I aspire to obtain such knowledge and experience as yourself one day. I am an electrician and not to boast but I'm a damn good troubleshooter. I think that's why the way you handle issues intrigues me bc in many ways what you do is very similar to what I do. I just don't know the system yet. ? It's like being thrown in on a Delta electrical system the first time looking at this triangle symbol like, what the fu....? Anyways, thank you so much for what you do and I'm glad that you enjoy it (most days) bc it makes it even more interesting learning from someone who enjoys and is excited by what they do. I am definitely looking forward to being able to afford joining your Premium account. Thanks again Paul!
I had an intermittent no-crank no-start, and stumbled upon a free ScannerDanner YT vid trying to figure it out.
A premium subscription, several videos, and inexpensive diagnostic tool purchases later, and I was armed with the knowledge to do the job.
I found the electrical schematic (I didn't even know those were a thing before subscribing here), and started eliminating possible points of failure.
While testing the burglar alarm relay, I saw a body ground had broken. I fixed it with my new crimper, and voila! Fixed.
Before watching these videos I replaced the starter assuming it was bad, and would have been so lost when that didn't work I would have sold the car.
Instead, I'm the hero who fixed it. Thanks ScannerDanner!
I am just getting started with the site and the ScannerDanner community.
I will let you know what I think later on.
Love this place! And all the great info.I’ve learned more in the past 4 months then i have in the past 4 years.is there any way a person can get on iatn without actually working in the automotive repair industry.or being ASE certified?
You're the best and you'll still my Teacher *-*
i want to give you gold like, for your hard efforts solving automobile issues with clear videos. i like your way solving the problems, and your preciouses tracing.
best regards
Great channel I have learned alot. Continue the good work.
Great information. I will be back when i have more free time. Thanks for all the insight!
I really like that you teach the whole diagnostic approach. So many Techs both young and old often do not KNOW how they got there, because at one time old Techs did not share information/they acted like it was all top secret and privledged. You have taken this to a whole new level. I have been a Tech for over 32 years and I always took and still do take time to show and explain "THE PROCESS" thanks for continuing to give back. BELIEVERS ARE ACHIEVERS!!!!!
I have been following your curriculum and like it a lot. I live on the Bad River Reservation in Wisconsin and with all the knowledge I have been learning from you. I take the knowledge to help out people that need help with their cars for free especially my elders, and word of mouth is getting out as people want me to look at their cars like I am magic. the only problem is now I am having trouble with PayPal and now lost my subscription right in the middle of chapter 4. Just wanted to let you know that you are helping Native Americans in Wisconsin by keeping their rez rods running. hopefully I can get my PayPal figured out, also wish I would have bought the paperback version of your book but living on a reservation you learn to live on a budget and make things work.
Paul I love your web site watching you inspires me to do better at my job and learn more. Just some of the tips and tricks I have learned from watching you has impressed my boss and my co-workers. I have one request for a video for your website. On numerous videos you have always said its safe the use a test light on computer controlled circuits or even a multi-meter(on different settings) to help you test the integrity of circuits that are connected to the computer. My request if for a video with a step by step walk through of how to test a multi-meter or test light to determine if what you own is safe or if what you have needs to be modified or used in a different manner.
Thank you
I enjoy reading engine performance diagnosis I take You're book with me wherever I go And read it over and over.
Question are you going to do a book on A/C systems.
YOU ARE THE MAN.Just watching Your videos on YouTube boosted My game, so I had to buy this book and join Your online Class.Heck I should of done this a long time ago.ThankYou for sharing the Knowledge.
CHICODEON
One of the best diag tools in my toolbox. Thank you for all of teaching you do, I've learned so much for you and your videos.
Just wanted to say thank you for sharing your knowledge. I was an automotive tech back in the early 90's and left the field and went back to school to become a nurse. I've always wrenched on my own stuff, but didn't stay current on newer cars. I recently upgraded my scanner and bought an oscilloscope. Your premium content has been great and I appreciate how you explain testing modalities. Thanks again for all you do!
David Conley
I have started by buying the E book. I'm mainly a heavy diesel tech. but have used all the principles taught here to advance my knowledge. Every single concept works on all platforms of the auto industry. By using the knowledge gained here i have used on marine engine, mining equipment and trucking equipment. I have solved problems without wiring schematics at hand thanks to the principle taught by scanner danner. Been a premium member for over 2 years now, not a expert but damn it feels good when you have a win in the field. we are all human and when I some how forget some stuff I have the channel and the e-book as a field manual. Thank you sir for raising the bar and making us better technicians.
I'm a retired AF master mechanic (Fighter aircraft), and master instructor for airframe, hydraulics, propulsion, and secondary power systems.
Now in retirement, I find myself helping many church friends with their automotive problems.
I became a beta tester for Foxwell Tech back in 2018, and one of the tools they sent me was an OS100 lab scope (Hantek). Thanks to Paul's training, I now know a lot more about the proper use of the tool and have already successfully isolated many faults in various cars and jet skis (yes those are computer controlled too.)
As the Chief of maintenance (USAF) for three different aircraft maintenance units, I knew we had our parts changers too. However, I always told my guys (after they told me they were going to change part x or part y), "No, tell me why you're going to change that part." You think car parts are expensive; just be glad you don't own an F-16!
Im watching you from 2 years i love all your videos and your case study thank you very much for your info i love you keep going

I was watching the GM fuel pump relay testing video, and I was wondering if you’ve ever seen the directions for these new fuel pumps. I received a call from one of the shops are used to work for, They told me they put a new fuel pump and because of an Evap. leak and now the truck won’t run. I asked him if they put the new plug on and they replied yes and sent me pictures. He wired it according to the directions for the correct make and model. I wish I could send you pictures but It doesn’t look like the site allows me too. Anyways the directions were incorrect I wish I could show you the picture!
I am glad I stumbled across your page , I have learned so much about electrical. Electrical has always been a iffy area till I started watching and reading your e book I bought . I do have a request, do you have videos , or can you do a series on scope basics and how to use them more efficiently?
This is Martin with E-Z AUTO have been a mechanic since 1996 I would like to give a big thumbs-up to scannerdanner and his family for making all of this possible in the last two years and I've been studying videos proud to say I am a member of his premium channel the education that I gained from scannerdanner it's worth so much more than I can even explain then the little bit that we pay for it. I guess the biggest difference would really be going from a mechanic / parts changer to a auto technician I cannot really explain how thankful I am for all the sacrifice scannerdanner and his family makes to make this possible thanks again
GREAT WORK S GOOD RESULT
THANKS MR DANNER

I wish I had a teacher like you when I started, such an easy, understandable way you teach.
I went through dealer training, trial&error, books and a few years of just researching the particular vehicles .. I recommend you to everyone I can and all the new techs I come across helping because there’s just no better way to learn the foundation of diag.
The best tool I have ever purchased is your subscription, even though I don’t visit the site every week, the channel, the videos, it’s priceless.
I wish you and your family a long and successful life, keep up the good work and don’t stop teaching us!

Your YouTube videos are awesome! Looking forward to premium channel videos. Your explanations are excellent, they really make me busy as a learner. I thank you as I thank God for you. Be blessed.
Your program changed my life. I went from a 40k earner to an 80k+ earner. Thank you so much..!!! God Bless you for what you do. Your premium channel is such a good deal. I went to tech school. they had no instructors even close to what you teach.
I am a retired electronics tech and today's cars undoubtedly have a lot of electronics in them. I just bought the ebook and it looks awsome.
I like your lessons and the way off explane this stuf.
Its fine to understand the way how a ecu use his info and to find out what can wrong whit it.
Career changing stuff. Would really like some SD stickers for the tool box though!
Hello,
Thanks for this. I have been a diy mechanic all my life. I'm 65 now. I have been looking for something like this for a long time. I have never felt up to speed on my diagnostic skills on newer vehicles. This is perfect. I bought the book as well. I love the in depth description of all the systems.
A great course!
I’m not sure if the video I watched on you Mercedes 500 is my problem but after seeing it I’m thinking it more in likely is. That’s the best video I’ve see to come close to my problems. I will let you know how things turn out. My car the only think I have to get around with is a : 2003 Mercedes SLK 230 4 cylinder Supercharged. Thanks for the video.
This video looks like it was before Caleb as camera man. Lol. . It really doesn't matter. I have been watching you for 8 years at least .This is my 1st time responding to your videos. As usual this video is informative and educational like all the videos you and Caleb produce. Your explanation on how circuits work is phenomenal (circuit design)......BAR NONE.......BAR NONE Anybody that gives you a thumbs down needs to have their head examined. I am a former auto tech ( Mazda) for 25 years that eventually quit because of flat rate. I am now working in the forklift industry. I wish I found you while I was still in automotive. I apply your videos that I watch to troubleshooting a fault in a electrical ( 36 volt) forklift.. Your videos make me look like a hero for a new guy compared to the other guys in the shop. They come to me for advice when they have problems. I owe it all to you Paul. I wish I found you when I was in automotive. You would of made me look like a hero compared to our tech support idiots. Keep up the great content that you produce and God bless you and family. By the way..... tell your brother to start producing videos... I miss him and his approach to tackling problems. .

You’re the man! I’ve learned so much from you over the years and now days so many people call me and ask what could be wrong with their cars lol. You have definitely changed me from being a parts changer to one who diagnoses and then I want to know why a part failed. I’m a auto body shop owner and opening a second shop November 1st not a technician by far but you have taught me so much I can’t thank you enough and yes I do take the diag and repair work on and make green money at it . I don’t know how to thank you enough but if you ever need collision repair work or paint I’ll hook you up for free because your knowledge is priceless. Thank you…Edward Martin, Ed’s Auto Body and repairs Dover pa 17315

I purchased this eBook in March of 2017. I look through here daily and watch all the videos over and over. Every time I see a video something resonates with me about a job I did or one that I am working on. I just found a wiring issue on a 2005 Lincoln Limo that knocked out everything. If it weren't for this book and videos I do not know if I would have found the problem. Don't be a parts changer. This information is invaluable.
I dont know where to start I could write a book, I’ve learned so much from ScannerDanner’s premium videos as well as the book. I just want to say thank you because you have helped me change my life for the better and helped me find my passion I never knew I had.
The way you explain things and the way you put everything together is brilliant! I’m not even a quarter of the way through the videos and I’ve learned a ton that I did not know before. Very well worth the money it could be life changing for you like it was for me, give it a go this man is a genius! Thank you again, Paul!
good day mr Danner. i am really a big fan and follower of the great job you are doing. i have learnt a great deal from you primarily from watching your videos on youtube. your work has really changed my life so much that even my colleagues now call me black Danner. lol. my challenge right now is that i can't subscribe to your premium channel due to paypal restrictions in my country. if there is any other medium through which i can subscribe to your premium channel, please let me know. i am also an instructor in peugeot automobile Nigeria (PAN learning center) and i want to teach your test procedures and methods through your videos in class for my students. one more thing sir. i know you are a busy man, bt please i'd like to know how i can reach out to you in the future as there's a lot i want to learn and share with you. my name is ismail, i am 25 years old and i am from Nigeria. i have level 3 city & guilds certification in light vehicle maintenance and repair. here is my e-mail: itzabbeywess@gmail.com
thanks for your time
Hey thank you...you bailed me out today appreciate you sharing your knowledge in a practical way
Good day, Danner! I want to write here some small suggestions if that is ok. I do this just because I find the content to be more than perfect.
1. The price, 11usd is a joke even for me in Romania. I have learned so much from this and 11 usd is a bit to little. You can up the price to 20-25 usd and add some new features to the premium website.
2. If you have the time, check hpacademy and how they have laid the website and the paid version. I find that to be perfect and uses some checks on the content that you have seen till the end. On the premium website I find it a bit hard to look to the chapters and know where i left off. I use your videos for my cardio sesions, best time to learn, get some exercise and start the day.
3. I dont know how many people from Europe whatch your chanel but it would be nice to see some videos with some European cars like Bmw, VAG and Mercedes.
4. Please make a video with some further reading book, I found out about you from TomDenton, I had his books and chating with him on email he said to start following you. I know there are some good books out there and would love to know about them.
5. Europe is full of diesel cars, i know that you dont really work on diesel, but would love to see some content.
At the end of this, i have learned from you more than you could imagine, thank you for that.
