Very impressive!!!

It goes to show that you have to be open to testing things in more than one way!

Hello Dan, as a hobbyist electrician each time I check for continuity in a wire I always check also for shorts to GND/supply especially when the line goes to multiple connects and points where it can be pinched. The continuity test is not the best tool for this … but do not blame the tool .. some (most of) times the user does now how to use it in the context to get all the relevant data. Keep up the good work 👍🏻👍🏻

I guess, being an auto electrician, I was straight onto this and my early thoughts were whilst there was continuity, it didn’t mean there was not a short to ground. The moment the scope came out it confirmed my thoughts.

Indeed that would have worked. I saw the failure straight away because he failed to check the connection on the fuse box. With these wirings it's imperative to check EVERY connector. I would have done the last part of the video (where he replaced the wires) right before using the scope. It's an electrical engineering procedure called "finding the least probable point of failure". Many cars have failures in the wiring loom when it passes the firewall or other parts caused by vibration and degradation of insulation. The title of the video is also incorrect, it's not about using the multimeter wrongly, it's about not using it sufficiently. No need for the scope or the check light. An ever better way is to use the multimeter in ohms mode, zero to two ohms means 100% continuity, anything above means check the connections because they may not be connecting 100%. He only checked the pins of the connectors on the immobilizer and the ecu, but you need to check each and every connector in the wiring. There's most probably another connector in the interior on the drivers side right where the firewall is, or there might even be a connector in the hole of the firewall (this is used in many modern citroens). Sometimes dirty or oxidated pins are the cause of failure. Using contact cleaner on each connector is also good practice.

Great diagnosis Dan. I genuinely enjoy your channel as do thousands of subscribers

I too have been burned by this test in the past and it is challenging and rewarding when you can repair a problem like this. I have in the past run new wires when a short to ground is suspected, but due to high labor rates we will usually just run new wires, I have many times wondered what the root cause of the problem is. I have to say in my experience over 90% of electrical problems in the field end up being damaged wires and not faulty modules, just my 2 cents for anyone else who might want to try a new module first. Thanks for the great videos!

Thank you very much!

You are a wizard Dan you truly are! Really enjoyed the video thank you for making it

Great case Danny. I am one of the lucky ones who has " fixed " a few toyota's with the paperclip trick. Even recently on an Aygo. These kind of video's are greatly appreciated. Take care and a belated happy New Year

personally I would have been happier if it wasn't shown as I taught myself this after lots of homework and got to it via the auto clutch adjustment procedure and realised I could virginise the ecu to the immobilisor😀
