Automotive Scan Tool PID DiagnosticsDiagnostics Strategies of Modern Automotive SystemsBy Mandy ConcepcionIn this section, the different techniques of scan tool parameter(PID) analysis will be exposed. Techniques involving PID analysisare quickly catching on, due to their speed and accuracy. Byproperly analyzing the different scanner PIDs, the technician canarrive at the source of the problem much faster and accurately.These procedures give rise to the new term “driver seatdiagnostics”, since most of the preliminary diagnostic work is donethrough the scanner. However, these techniques will in no wayreplace the final manual tests that are a part of every diagnosticpath. They are simply geared to point the technician in the rightdirection.Table of ContentsINTRODUCTION (Introduction to scan tool diagnostics and therelevance of using PIDs or scanner parameter to perform the firstleg of all diagnostics.)- Theory of Operation Behind the Different PIDs (Describes CARB,the difference between generic and enhanced PIDs, the FTP)- OBD II Generic PIDs (PID calculated and actual values,calculated data relationships, base injection timing, ECM valuesubstitution)- OBD I & II General PID analysis (erasing code-or not,recording, analyzing and pinpoint tests, separating PIDs intogroups)- Fuel Delivery Fault Detection (fuel delivery issues, intakeair temp. sensor, BARO sensor, Engine LOAD, RPM PID, Short-TermFuel Trims, Long-Term Fuel Trims, 60% of check engine light issues,block learn/integrators, Example 1: injector fault, Example 2:intake gasket issues, fuel status, ignition timing, MAP/MAF, TPS,O2 sensor, IAC, Closed Throttle, injector pulse width, voltagepower, injector duty-cycle, fuel trim cell)- Test #1 (Determining an engine’s fuel Consumption (rich-leanoperation, duty-cycle to fuel trim relationship, O2 sensor to fueltrim relation, FT and vacuum leaks, ignition timing and idlecontrol, test conclusion)- Test # 2 (Misfire Detection Strategy, EGR, Ignition andMechanical misfires) (misfires and OBD2, scanner misfire detection– a time saver, OBD2 40 and 80 cycle misfire, ignition, injectorand EGR density misfire, coil-on-plug, misfires and O2 sensor, leanO2 & Secondary misfire, O2 sensor & injector misfires,leaky injector, EGR and the MAP, Type A, B, C misfires, testconclusion)- Test # 3 (Air/Fuel Ratio Faults) (air-fuel imbalance, MAF andpost O2 sensors, open-closed-loop, fuel enable, HC & COrelation to AF issues, test conclusion)- Test # 4 (BARO, MAP & MAF PID analysis) (MAP & valvetiming faults, ECM behavior, fuel delivery or duty cycle test,volumetric efficiency, , test conclusion)- Test # 5 (Clogged exhaust) (clogged catalytic converterdetection, TPS, MAF and converters, idle and WOT or wide openthrottle values, vacuum readings, MAP to WOT chats analysis, engineand MAP vacuum, test conclusion)- Test # 6 (EGR Fault Detection) (EGR and MAP values, ECMreaction to EGR issues, EGR temp sensor, DPFE sensor, EGR andO2-MAP and lift position sensor, EGR and engine pre-loading, EGRand the ECM erroneous high LOAD issues, test conclusion)- Test # 7 (O2 Sensor Heater) (O2 heaters and why?, tough tocheck O2 heater issues, O2 heater effect on signal output, O2heater bias voltage, engine off and O2 changing value, testconclusion)- Test # 8 (Resetting Fuel Trims) (resetting injection pulsecorrections, long-term and short-term fuel trims, learn condition,Lambda, case study on fuel trims, FT resetting according tomanufacturer, test conclusion)- Test # 9 (Engine Cranking Vacuum Test) (MAP/MAF crankingvacuum, vacuum to PID analysis, vacuum leaks, gauge-PID test,sources of leaks, cranking values, test conclusion)About the Author:Mandy Concepcion has worked in the automotive field for over 21years.

Toyota/Lexus Automotive SRS/Airbag RepairManual - Runs on all Phones & TabletsA reference and pictorial guide for automotive SRS/Air-BagSystems(Including all major Toyota and Lexus Model SRS systems)By MANDY CONCEPCIONThis book is based on the "Automotive SRS/Air-Bag Troubleshooter"software by the same author. All similarities to this softwarepackage are intended. Both of these products are copyrighted by theauthor, Mandy Concepcion.This book came out of an extensive research conducted during thedevelopment of the software product by the same name. Modernsupplemental restraint systems are a wonder of technology. They arein reality pyrotechnic devices in charge of your safety. They arealso difficult to diagnose and repair due to their safety issues.You simply can't employ normal diagnostic and repair procedureswhen dealing with these systems. It is just very dangerous to do asimply resistance test, for example, using a multi-meter. Theactual minute current outputted by the multi-meter is enough topossibly trigger the air bag in your face and case body damage. Forreason, SRS/Air-Bag systems require technical know-how and commonsense.This book is meant to acquaint you with the general characteristicsof modern air bag systems according to year, make and model. Youwill gain knowledge of SRS/Air-Bag operation in here, but this isnot mainly a book on this system's principle of operation. Thepresent book is a customized make and model SRS repair manual.Finally one specific value of this book is the availability ofair-bag module resistance values. A huge part of air-bag repair isbased on removing the steering wheel or passenger air bag,connecting a special resistor as a substitute and determining thatthe SRS light on the dash goes out. This can only happens if theright resistor is used, hence the value of this information.Further uses for this book is accessing the SRS computer toretrieve codes without a scan tool. Most SRS systems are NOT SCANTOOL CAPABLE, but you do need to know the specific procedure toaccess these SRS codes as shown here. So, without further ado,enjoy…Table of Contents* System Operation* How to Access codes* Code Access without a scan tool* SRS Repair codes* Component Location* SRS Light* Front Air-Bags* Side Air-Bags* Seat Belt Tensioner* Secondary Air Inflator* Side Impact Crash Sensor* Front Impact Crash Sensor* Seat Belt Switch* Occupancy SensorAbout the author:Mandy Concepcion has worked in the automotive field for over 21years.

OBD-2 Mode 06 Translator APP(Note: This APP runs fine on Android phones and tablets. ThisAPP is a companion to any OBD-2 scanner. This APP decodes Mode-06on CAN systems, Some 2003-2006 and all 2007-Up models (any make andmodel sold in the US.)HOW TO USE THE OBD2 MODE-06 TRANSLATOR APPMode 06 on OBD-2 systems was created to allow engineers to seeif a particular system was failing before the monitors had ran.Monitors are small tests that OBD-2 runs on each system (EGR, O2sensor, Converter, etc) to see if the system is failing. It takes along time for these tests/monitors to run, sometimes hours or evendays. So the power of mode 06 is to allow for quick diagnostics andproofing of your repair.Here are the highlights of mode 06 and why it's so popular:1) Allows you to see if your repair was done right almost rightaway.2) After the repair is done, go for a short road test (that'sall).3) Use an inexpensive scan tool to view mode 06. Most scanners havethis feature.4) Mode 06 allows you to view dozens of ECM tests results rightaway.5) Mode 06 was developed as an encrypted ($hex) coded diagnosticsystem.6) Mode 06 was never meant for the masses, unless it istranslated.Here is how to use the OBD-2 Mode 06 Translator APP. There aretwo ways to use Mode-06 with this APP.ONE: Is to look at your scanner's capabilities and see if itgives you PASS/FAIL results for Mode-06. If it does then you'rehalfway there. That means that the scan tool did 50% of the workfor you. With a PASS/FAIL type scanner, the unit has already lookedat the Min. and Max. values, saw the Current value and made adeterminationas to the test result.TWO: Is to determine the test Min. and Max. values (Given bythis APP) and compare them to the Current value. This type ofscanner is usually seen as a USB-Interface PC based scanner (i.e.ELM327 type). It is also used by someone accessing the deep ($hex)hexadecimal numbers given by the ECM OBD-2 connector.So if your scanner is PASS/FAIL then great, disregard the(Current Value) translator section. Just concentrate onthe MIDs and TIDs pull-down buttons. They'll translate the MODE-06data for you and then all you do is look at thePASS/FAIL score.If your scanner outputs the $Hex numbers, then all you do iscompare them to the Min. and Max. values given by this APP.To use this APP after repairs are done (or during repairs), gofor a short road test to allow the ECM to run the mode 06 test itnormally does. On some repairs that don't require for you to drivethe car (i.e. O2 Sensor Heater) then a road test is not needed.Just start your vehicle and wait at least 10 minutes with theengine at idle. Than do your magic with this (OBD-2 Mode 06Translator APP).This is the first APP of it's kind anywhere made possible byAndroid technology. If in doubt you can always e-mail us with anyquestions. I assure you they will be answered.This OBD-2 Mode-06 Translator APP is an offshoot technology ofthe OBD-2 Scan-1 Diagnostic System, developed by the author, MandyConcepcion.Authored by Mandy Concepcion

Automotive Vehicle Strategies and ECM Modes -Runs on all Phones & TabletsDiagnostic Strategies of Modern Automotive SystemsBy Mandy ConcepcionThis book is divided into two sections, “Vehicle OperationalStrategies”, which detail what’s needed for and engine to start. Inother words, this section concentrates on the signals needed for aparticular manufacturer to make the engine run. These signalstrategies are true regardless of the system and the section simplyzeros in on the actual signal, whether it’s a distributor, DIS,COP, etc.The second section is the ECM operational modes and goes intodetails on why and how the ECM does what it needs to do to run theengine. In other words, this section has to do with the behavior ofthe ECM according to outside conditions.VEHICLE OPERATIONAL STRATEGIESThis section is designed to serve as a functional guide to someof the more difficult to diagnose faults. It basically came aboutfrom the trial and error experimentation with different systems,during the diagnostic process. It is not a study section per se,but will definitely enlighten the technician as to the logics ofdifferent systems on the market today. Hopefully, it will serve topinpoint the source of an actual problem.ECM OPERATIONAL MODESIn this section, we’ll take a look at automotive OPERATIONALMODES. The section deals with the specifics of internal ECMprogramming strategies. The knowledge gained here will aide themodern technician is deciphering why is the ECM functioning in aspecific way.
