DO NOT BUY SIGMAPROBE, JDIAG, DNOSE, TOPDIAG or AUTOOL Before watching this!

I know this is a long video but totally worth watching. The results were shocking to me and the test was never expected to outcome this way. I advice you to watch the video to the end as the case develops as the video progresses.

    Great video. I have sadly learnt my lesson. I did not experience your issues but what I did find is quality build issues. The first problem was the probe would not output 12V to a bulb to light it. It instead it showed all sorts of odd readings on the display. With testing and checking I decided to open the unit up to see the PCB board. A short had occurred between the output probe (12v) and the PCB board. The relay testing circuit was also very loose which meant that would not work. I asked a friend who is in the PCB manufacturing to have a look and he reported that it was a very poor quality design. This was the Jdiag p200 unit sold as TopDiag P200. The Jdiag P100, which I also owned, has also got PCB design problems as well. My advice is stay well clear of these items as they are poor quality and unreliable.

    Hello Dallas Auto Diag. Thank you for your videos. I too bought the same diag tool because of the price. While I'm not a pro, I (try) do my own diag and repairs. I returned it because of the extended circuit breaker time as noted by Super Mario Diagnostics. I really liked the oscilloscope feature so one doesn't need to haul out the full scope and all the cables required. Anyway I noticed you were using the regular bnc lead on the Sigma Probe. Pico Scope uses a specific high impedance cable/bnc probe (TA499) for tapping into Flex Ray and CAN Bus systems that is high impedance so as not to bring the system down. The TA499 is a BNC+ probe, though they have a regular bnc type probe as well. Do you think that is what should be used in your case? Maybe what brought the system down was using non high impedance probes, or maybe just because your are attaching both scopes/probes/regular cables simultaneously? Just a thought. Thanks again for your videos as it definitely helps out DYI's like me everywhere!

Actually I thought of the 2 possibilities that you have mentioned and Im not sure if you have noticed at the end of the video I remove my lead and use their included tip and it gave me same results. I also used it by itself without having 2 scopes on testing. If what you have mentiones makes difference then I think it is SIGMAPROBE obligation to include a can bus compatible lead with the kit. Thanks again.

    Having watched your video twice, I am convinced that this is a cheaply made unit, it cannot be relied upon for accurate results. Thanks for sharing. It appears that it is putting a load on the network thereby causing noise in the signal. The second unit you unboxed was what I would call grossly defective, the give away on that was the constant 2-3 volts, at one time it had a constant 5 volts. That should not happen. I think with proper engineering and good quality components' there is a place in the tool box for this kind of tool, but this one does not meet the threshold for results even though it is a good idea. I hope we will see better working versions of this kind of tool in the future.

Then bought ppIV lasted over a year went bad contacted PP and they said it was about the same price to fix it than to buy a new one, so I did and this one lasted about 3 months and went bad. I also have a ppHook and I am scared to use it because I got it when they costed about $500 so I just use the PPIII all this “features” they want to implement to this testers make them very weak or just bad products. I wouldn’t buy another PP product because their quality has gone to the toilet. Great video I just use my Snapon versus or my 8 channel ATS eScope. It takes more time but you know you are getting the best results,it sucks for you mobile guys because time is money but then again you get side tracked by one of those Chinese cheap tester it will be more painful and costly.

    My Power Probe 4 broke the cable right at the plug, where the clips attach. I soldered in a cigarett lighter plug and used a power adapter for the battery. Now I can use it inside the car and outside the car. I couldn't get PP to fix it and PP wouldn't sell me a new cable. It works again!

    I had a PP3 did the same exact thing. Then had the maestro which started going 3v off. PP sent me a new one. Now the new one is doing the same exact thing that you mentioned. Lucky I got one more month for the warranty.

    Yours was bad. Like racing a horse with broken leg, painful to watch. I bought TopDiag about a year ago and the features work, but there is no warm feeling of holding a fluke when you pick it up. I don't know what they claim the bandwidth of their scope is, but CAN FD is up to 5mbits. They have very little published specs. Thanks for showing how bad these can be, but you at a higher level that diyers.

    Power Probe came out with a good breakout box a few years ago. Joe's Auto Electric has a video demonstrating it. kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZKKbqZN-l8_Nns4.html Just found this short demonstration. It appears that it has been out for at three years, designed in the UK & sold by Power Probe & branded Blue Point on the Snappy trucks & possibly branded in the Matco catalogue. The magnetic pins/ probes were UK as well but may be available here now as well. kzread.info/dash/bejne/kWaXm66HiJmXZ84.html

    Item needs 12v... run a boggo wire from battery + with a pokey bit soldered onto the end.. poke item.. voila - 12v.. Item needs 5V.. buy a cheap variable power supply.. set it to 5v.. poke item.. Item needs a good ground... run wire from battery - & solder a pokey bit onto the end - voila, ground probe... For everything else, buy a really posh multimeter - I like Fluke. Also buy a test lamp with a bulb. They're handy. There's no end to buying tools - usually you're the most crucial tool - the better you sharpen yourself, the less crappy tools you need buy. Sharpen yourself - it's free.

    You might find a use for this tool. It is powered by a rechargeable battery or 3 AAA . It can decode the can bus or display wave form one at a time. The input impedance is 3 Megohms so it shouldn't load the circuit too much. kzread.info/dash/bejne/h3WAtrF-c8bQm6w.html They are not giving me anything to recommend it. I think it is useful even if you have a Pico scope.
