Battery maintainer? Phew! Thought you were going to say '...cat!'. Great videos, directly informative, no padding, just what we need to know. If I lived near Grimsby, our vehicles would be in your shop.

Just come across this, Im about to start my own diagnosis on the Mondeo 🤓 today, very helpful, thanks

Thank you Steve great job on the videos. Very needed information

Super nice video !! Thank you very much for your time and effort.

Great video - simple, to the point. Sorry about your battery charger :(

Thanks again, very well done. I learned a lot and will be back to review the video when I start to use that function. So sorry, those battery maintainers are sure expensive, I hope it's still functional.

Hi I have got it up running ok the have actual and expected data to compare

So easy to use compared to IDS/FDRS this is, tbh its my go too programme at work

Great. I'll see if I can find a problem with my throttle position sensor. Engine packs up at random speeds when accelerating slightly harder.

I need a scanner with scope ability. My mechanic expert told me the following..will forescan withe the elm adapter do this for me? "Yes, a CKP tone ring could cause this since there is a skipped tooth there that the computer looks for to know when to watch the firing sequence starting with cylinder one. IF the tone ring is wobbling or the missing tooth has an imperfection. That could get the ignition pulse timing just a little off. A scope is needed to check that." "If the tool you are looking at can show waveform through a scope reading then it should work." If forescan can do this, how would I go about this on a 5.4 3v f150 ? He says something about the elm with a switch doesn't do something but links to one with a switch. Which one does he use?

There's some really useful tips there Steve, great work and video 👍🏻 P.S. I hope the battery maintainer is OK.

Thanks for the video, really clear and informative. A probably stupid question though...is it possible/safe to monitor live data while driving? Would i need any battery protection or anything?

I would not advocate the reading of live data whilst driving for legal reasons. If you can get somebody to drive, then you can observe the data yourself without any further precautions , but please observe safety first (airbags etc)

I bought Forscan Lite as I don't have a Win10 laptop (but have several desktops, frustratingly - they won't go in the car! :D ). I'm having very occasional misfires - over the course of a 45 min urban drive to work I get 3 or 4, always at low revs when applying throttle when pulling away or shifting coming off a roundabout. I was hoping for "Mode 6" per cylinder misfire information but that doesn't seem to be a thing, all I can go on is the "Number of misfires" value. This actually sits at 25450 something and increasing, but I've only had the car a few weeks so I just assume this is all the misfires it's had over its lifetime. Any thoughts?

in the "select PID's" menu... what do i have to activate, to check if my boost solenoid is working correctly on my focus 1.6 tdci? Im getting underboost EML, But turbo is fairly new, No splits in boost hoses. When engine is cold, i get full power, But as engine warms up, I get less boost and power, (which i believe is because the boost solenoid is bolted to back of engine) But i dont know exactly what PID i need to live data check on.. Thanks

Hello, I had to replace an injector seal on my 1.6 tdci c-max. I was doing the ABS module at the same time so things were left disassembled for about a week while I waited for the module to be repaired. After getting everything together, I'm getting a no start condition. It's showing only 210 kpa of fuel rail pressure in Forscan. Does this mean my fuel system lost prime while sitting? It did start and run for a couple seconds but stopped, and now will not start. I am also hearing from the tempo when turning over that I am low on compression in one cylinder. Does it sound possible that I could have caused this when replacing the seal? I never heard it cranking for more than a half second because it always started right up.

@SYDiagnostics

Жыл бұрын

It's possible if the system was left "open" thar it could now need priming once more. Regarding the compression issue, it's hard to say unless you haven't got the injector sealing correctly but usually you can hear that

Great video. Could you please tell me if I could read the live data from the ABS pump as I have the code C1288 and the ESP light on my 06 Focus ST.

@@darrenflounders2803 forscan on older vehilces (pre-2010 ish) is near dealer lever, allowing PATS functions to be carried out, but since this date the PATS functions aren't capable. Some functions are easier with Forscan, such as configuration changes, the speed of forscan makes it the go to tool for a quick fault code read too. It has no functions that im aware of for adblue systems, so ids/fdrs wins there

Many thanks for the vid's, just watched a couple and learned a few things i hadn't already managed to figure out 👍. Quick question, when I try to read live data for my Sas, it tells me it needs to relearn it and I need to drive at 20mph to do it (or something along them lines), but up to yet nothing happens when I do, any ideas why?

I also managed to fix the lane keeping fault, it was a module that hadn't programmed correctly. The only issue I have now is that the camera does appear to be a little out, which is more than likely because I tried a few times to calibrate it before I got it all functioning again. The odd thing is that every calibration said completed successfullywithin a minute or so of commencement 🤔.
