She didn’t fix anything. She did the jumper truck on a old OBD1 system which isn’t used on anything 1996 and newer. I was doing that truck on a number of different cars. It’s a primitive system and can be quite misleading. It’s not really a trick. It’s something mechanics knew how to do back then working on cars if they didn’t have a scanner. Back then with OBD1, there was many different connection ports are cars unlike the 1 standard port all OBD2 cars have on them these days. I probably have 20 different OBD1 adapters for my scan tool which does OBD1 and OBD2. Though these days I no longer work on cars. Changed Careers many years ago.

that's freaking sweet. one thing I hate about OBD2 is that it usually requires an external reader which can be inaccessible and expensive (for a comprehensive one) especially when the system itself has every potential to just tell the you the problem itself.

Just found your channel, shortly after becoming a toyota/lexus fanboy lol, your videos are great, it's suprisingly enjoyable watching someone mess around with vehicles your interested in who has similar wrenching skills, it make your videos relevant as it's all topics and issue I would possibly run into in the future.

This technique was taught to us during the first year of college. This was the second time seeing the actual test after a decade.

Smart and cute. Well done 👏

I don’t have a Toyota, but this excellent bit of wisdom from you just got my subscription - first one from any short vid. I want you on my team! 🧐😎😜 Thank you for sharing.

30 years old and still running, love Toyota baby. You take care of your Toyota and it will take care of you

I am impressed with how she was able to access the system without a scan tool. I knew that older Chrysler products are able to be accessed without a computer but wasn’t aware of other cars that can be. I am however a little bit disappointed with her because as soon as she read the code 71, she instantly said it will repeat and went to look up the code. This could cause some other people a lot of frustration because a lot of times, there can be multiple codes which viewers of this video could miss because she said it will just repeat the single fault code instead of allowing the computer to finish the testing and potentially revealing more codes, followed by a code saying the diagnostic test is complete. Testing cars for others, I have often seen multiple fault codes given with the most on one car being 17. So if anyone uses her way to access the diagnostic system on their car, PLEASE, LET THE TEST FINISH SHOWING ALL RESULTING CODES.

This was how you got codes from a lot of the 1980's cars. I have to do the same thing on my 86 Fiero GT.

So awesome that you know this for vehicals prior to 96 I think , I had a 93 ford 150 and at the time I didn't know how to the check so I took it everywhere and nobody knew how to check it , great job

Nice to see someone who maintains their vehicle themselves. No need to waste money on things you can do yourself. Great video.

40 year mechanic here was surprised to see a younger person wrenching excellent job keep up good work hopefully keep cars and trucks of yesterday relevant to new generations

My prelude does this, even as OBDII. You pull the 2 wire ABS module from the OBDII port and jump it with anything conducive, and it’ll flash the CEL, ABS, and SRS codes on the dash

Back when it was you and the machine. Good ole OBD1 and 2

That's is actually amazing you know this trick. Good for you

Ah, I remember those days. That was when a technician still HAD to think about diagnostics to get to the real root of the problem. Glad to see you keeping that old car alive.

Only works with OBD1 systems. OBD2 was made mandatory in 1996. Still a good thing to know though if you have an older car or truck. Can save you a trip to the autoparts store to get your codes read.

LOVED OBD-1! I still remember on my Mazda Protege you jumpered 10 @ GND. So rarely had a CEL though and it was always something simple. Great car!

Some people will call the scrap yard ask ask them to take it away saying "the car is broken", punishing the money earning/head member of the family who has to now buy her a new car. Just a relief to see people like this.

Yes obd1 is great, read codes throw parts, very simple systems.

Yeah OBD1 pre 1996. The human mind lives to explore and discover. She certainly likes exploring codes and discovering their meanings. Good girl! 👍

aaah yes. the EGR. When I had my old cars. I became very tired or replacing these. so i capped it off and only installed that valve when smog was necessary. Love those land cruisers and yes i miss carburation

Cracked vacuum hose to EGR. Nice, quick duagnosis!

I have 1989 Chevy Silverado that is obd1 and it’s just so cool on how things were done back then like with the paper clip to check your codes. And if you had a car with abs brakes you could do the same thing but the clip went one different port

I’m a 34 year old male who has worked on cars for a while now and I am impressed with your ingenuity… You remind me of when I owned my Cadillac,,, constantly researching what is wrong.. fun fact::: most of those guys driving their BMWS don’t even know how to change their oil and then come to a poor fuck like me to HELP THEM OUT!😂😂😂😂

I have to do this all the time on my 94 ranger, honestly its pretty nice to be able to diagnose a code without having to hook a scanner too it.

I used to do the same diagnostic process when I had a W124 Mercedes . It never failed . Good job here 👍🏼

Usally egr solenoid on most Japanese cars. Never use a aftermarket part, it will fail 3 months later. I use a dealer scan tool where you can see live data, plus switching some circuit on or off for testing purposes.

The paper clip trick I remember doing this with my 90 Honda and 95 Toyota ☺️ a cute girl who can do this is a must

That was awesome work. Also that’s one huge thing I’ve noticed about Toyotas is once they get to really high mileage like 100K+ they start to throw a lot of evap/emissions codes like that.

Please take this as a compliment as this knuckle-draggin intends. I love seeing young, attractive women break the stereotype, good for you and keep it up. You ROCK!!!

I remember doing this in my high school auto shop class. Something I'm glad I learned

I diagnosed it by the end of the video. The problem is ARCO gasoline, fuel deposits preventing EGR valve from sealing.

Some air conditioners use the same way to send a code. On a newer LG unit I noticed the gaps in the blinking, looked up the code in a manual on the Internet, and the code was actually because the condenser temperature was low, because it had a gas leak.

I had the same code. Vacuum transducer had a hole in the diaphragm. $90 and 2 minutes of work and it was fixed!

If your vacuum lines are good check for the egr vsv located under the intake manifold. They can rust out. Also check the vacuum ports on the throttle body.as they can get clogged up. Check the vacuum pipe that goes through the manifold, the line that comes off the egr valve goes to the top of the manifold, then under the manifold it goes to the vsv. That pipe can become blocked, I had to bypass mine with a hose going around the manifold. I replaced the egr valve, and vacuum modulator first which did not clear my code.

In my country there wasn't a rule that forced cars to implement OBD2 so things like this are pretty common. Used to make me so envious of cars in the states.

This chick's a freaking wizard.

Wish you could still do that on newer stuff. I mean obdii is great in that it is universal and even a cheap reader will tell you a code, but flash codes are still awsome.

Old school troubleshooting! Nice.

Awesome diagnostics!!

Love how many people I see in 80 series. Need to finish getting mine back on the road, I miss it! Nice diagnostic.

Better than some car chanel that just talk about luxury cars, shows you how to fix your own car(depending on the age of vehicle).

VSV is usually the culprit. Mine also had carbon build in the the throttle body… so I just changed every hose and component to not have to worry about it anymore.

This is an actual design feature from Toyota. Very ingenious. The next thing she could do to find the evap leak is run the engine from cold and take brake cleaner and spray around all of the hoses to find the leak. When the engine revs up in a particular area, you can narrow down to the specific hose and replace it.

Most people would see a check engine light and shrug it off hoping it will go away. I’m glad that some people pay attention to it either bringing it to shop or doing it themselves

Awesome job Chloe!

Wow, im glad we have more girls working on car 😀

It's the egr, so that means ignore it until you need to smog it

I'm keeping this one in mind thanks for the upload.

Evap consist usually of 3 parts, a canister, a selenoid valve usually on top of the tank, and the hoses/gas cap. Newer cars will tell you if it's a large or small leak. Mechanics usually always point to the cheapest item first. Being the gas cap. Secondly the cannisters and finally the valve. It's always best to perform a smog test and see if it is leaking visually

Well done on finding the code. The next step is diagnosing the problem.

Excellent work!

When that comes on in my 99 crown vic, first thing I do is open the gas cap (while car is off) and the light usually fixes itself. If not, then I look for other reasons. Great job

EGR valves go out all the time. When i worked in the parts department of a new car dealership that was one of the most popular items.

As a boomer it's amazing to watch you children learn things.

So cute & smart. I learned something today!!!

This helped me many times on my mid 90s rolla.

Gotta love the ease of pre OBD-II cars, no need for a $200+ scan tool.

Ised to do that on the diag between TE1 and E1 and get flashcodes. The EGRs were common with the vacuum dipragms. Would make the car run rough.

Hell Yeah! Some of the funnest mechanic work I've ever done was on gmt 400 trucks.

Man this brings me back to my first couple of cars

I remember the old paper clip method. We thought those 80’s cars were so complicated. Keep that land cruiser. They were built to last.
