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.

Make Your Own Diagnostic Equipment (MYODE) -Runs on all Phones & Tablets(Includes circuit explanations, parts list and detailed explanationon how to build)By Mandy ConcepcionThis book-APP, “Make Your Own Diagnostic Equipment” came aboutfrom the need of many readers and viewers to be able to make andmaintain fairly simple diagnostic gadgets. It is meant to show andguide the professional technician and DIY mechanic on how to makethese gadgets. In many cases, due to the nature of the equipmentindustry, it is very expensive or virtually impossible to get thesetools. The reason being is that often times tool makers don’t see aprofit in making these simple but effective gadgets. Most, if notall of these tools, are invaluable in diagnosing modern automotivesystems. You can estimate that having one of these tools, at theright time when needed, will cut your diagnostic time by at least50%. Of course, knowing how to use it is also important. However,by definition if you’ve already studied how the gadget works, howto build it an also ended up building it yourself, you’ve alreadypassed the learning curve and chances are you’ll know how to useit. At the very least, reading this book will put you in a muchbetter position to also asses diagnostic issues and on the use ofother important tools of automotive diagnostics.It is our hope with this work to enlighten the professional andDIY mechanic on the use, construction and operation of modernautomotive diagnostic gadgets. Use this information to the beast ofyour abilities and be on the diagnostic driver seat.Table of ContentsAutomotive Low Pressure TransducerBuilding the Low Pressure TransducerUsing the Low Pressure TransducerPolarity LED Test LightUsing the Polarity LED Test LightStress Loaded Test LightUsing the Stress Loaded Test LightBuilding the Stress Loaded Test LightFuel-Pump Relay & the Stress Loaded Test LightDual Polarity & 5 Volt Reference Test LightAmplified Sensor TesterInjector & Coil Magnetic DetectorFuel Injector PulserECM-ECU Memory Saver ToolLoaded Injector Noid LightUsing the Loaded Injector Noid Light5 Volt Reference SimulatorParasitic Draw Amp MeterUsing the Parasitic Draw Amp MeterFuse Voltage Drop Short IdentifierHow to Use the Fuse Voltage Drop Short IdentifierIgnition Primary DIS - COP ProbeHow to Use the Ignition Primary DIS ProbeDrive-By-Wire Motor Actuator ControllerHow to Use the Drive-By-Wire Actuator ControllerIgnition Key Transponder DetectorUsing the Ignition Key Transponder DetectorMagnetic Sensor Induction SimulatorUsing the Magnetic Sensor Induction SimulatorO2 Sensor SimulatorUsing the O2 Sensor SimulatorABS Speed Sensor SimulatorUsing the ABS Speed Sensor SimulatorABS Speed Sensor Simulator, Bleeding the BrakesOptical CAM and CRANK Sensor SimulatorUsing the Optical CAM and CRANK Sensor SimulatorOBD-2 Data Link Connector Breakout BoxUsing the OBD-2 DLC Breakout Box

SRS-Airbag Repair Guide (Automotive)(An Automotive SRS Repair Guide APP)This automotive SRS-Airbag Repair Guide contains four specificsections found nowhere else (in an APP) and at the tip of yourfingers. These sections are manufacturer specific SRS-AirbagOperation, Airbag Component Location, SRS-Module(Pyrotechnic)Resistance Values and Resetting the SRS-Computer. ThisAPP in conjunction with our SRS-Airbag Code Encyclopedia completesa full repair solution for automotive airbag systems.WARNING: Do not EVER probe on an airbag with a multi-meter tomake a resistance measurement. You run the chance of deploying theairbag and causing severe injury.This SRS-Airbag Repair Guide APP contains the manufacturerspecific resistance values for the SRS-Module (pyrotechnic device),both front and side airbag. SRS diagnostics are done bydisconnecting the airbag, substituting a resistor in it's place andsearching for codes and/or SRS light blinks (for most makes). Inreality SRS repair requires little in way of equipment, but lots ofknowledge. This APP gives you every piece of information needed tosolve your issue.It covers all Domestics and Asian vehicles up to 2011. The SRSresistance section is found nowhere else, period. We acquired theresistance value data by securing each manufacturer's airbag modulein a rig and performing the measurements. In case of detonation thesecured airbag posed no problems. This APP is an offshoot of ourSRS-Airbag publications and PC software, only at a fraction of thecost.Authored by Mandy ConcepcionNote: This APP runs fine on Android Phones and Tablets withlarge displays.
