Honda Passport: MIL On With A P0502
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
In this video I have a look at a customers Honda Passport with the big 3.2 that has the check engine light on with a P0502 active in it. This indicates that the PCM is not seeing any speed signal however the speedometer works just fine. Let's see what the problem is.

I love the SMA videos where Eric has already chased it back to the PCM and you think 'Bummer. That was a short video'. And then you look at the timeline and see the video isn't even half over. It's at that point you smile and say 'Stuff's about to get real!'

From my experience (ontario Canada), most shops aren't out to screw customers intentionally... they are just so busy everyday that they don't take the time to verify anything. Things get busy, so they try to hire someone new and noone has the time to babysit the new guy who may mangle up a few cars before he learns in his own time.

I'd add a qualifier to that. I was in the business many years, and yes there were quite a few predatory shops. But on today's vehicles there are a whole bunch of shops without the investment in tools along with minimally trained techs. Either way, the customer loses.

If a shop can take a vehicle on 2 hours notice or less they are going to get a lot of work. That they can do that says a lot about the work they do. Most of the general public doesn't understand this they just want to take it to the place that says they can work on it the soonest. To the more experienced customer it's more like going to the restaurant that has a wait every night of the week. You know know it's going to be better than the one that's half empty on a Saturday night.
I love the way eric gets so excited when he discovers the problem!
Mr. O, I keep tellin’ y’all your guesses are 99.8% right 100% of the time. I did the math. Thanks again for a great video and for lugging all of us around with you. We know it’s a pain, but you have no idea how much you help us out every day! You know, 100% every time!
"We're always the last guys to get the car." Of course you are; it'd be silly to take it to another shop after it's fixed! 🤣
Pulling out a tomato seed: $1. Knowing where to find the seed: Priceless. Good job 🙂
What I love best about your videos is the thinking out loud analysis. Who knew logic and reason are helpful in solving problems?
Mr. O, may I suggest using a sheet music stand for your wiring diagrams. I find it saves a lot of time and walking back. Great videos thank you.

Even the dealers have reduced themselves to "parts swappers" these days. Eric recently did a truck with multiple unconnected electrical faults. I was screaming at the laptop.. "Its a ground fault!". Sure enough after multiple thousands of $$ in parts replaced it was a simple ground strap!.. Incredible, who would have thought?.. Duh!

I also watched that video. No parts were actually replaced. But the dealer had quoted thousands of dollars for parts to be replaced. And charged a hefty diagnostic fee. Which was wrong.

typical, not fixed via short repair list(thrice broken) write off and new replacement(repeat 999 times a year or month!). considered flawed lemons or designed in flaws via foreign influences. sadly, it's ALL that way and has been for years. Imbeciles at the helm for far too long.
You are the master of circuit issues Eric. You sounded so happy when you saw the flicker when taking the test lead off the plug. Great diag process & great outcome for your customer!

Way back, when I first started watching your channel, I really only wanted to see you turn wrenches. I wasn't into the electrical diag stuff. But I watched them anyway even if just for the entertainment value. But you know... It didn't take long before I realized, based on your vids, how valuable electrical diags could be (and how much money I could save over just unloading the parts cannon). So I kept watching you and learning from you. Now, I have completed a beginner's course in automotive electrical diag and am working on intermediate. The process I am learning is exactly like you do it. This was a fun video because I knew exactly what you were doing and how you were eliminating all of the known goods until you found the culprit. Thanks Eric O. Your vids are entertaining, educational, and **inspiring**. Cheers! Oh, one more thing: I still quite enjoy the vids where you turn wrenches! 🙂
You and Ivan explain diagnosing electrical problems, so the common Joe can understand. Thank you!!!!
With someone else being in there before you being through is ALWAYS the best approach.
As Ivan over at pinehollow auto diagnostics says no parts required fixed. I feel those are the best kinds of repair. For the customer it shows you actually care about what they need to do to get their car fixed and not just replace parts. And it results in the good kind of come back
No parts required! Ivan will be proud of you!
Eric, does anyone ever walk by your shop and wonder who you're talking to? LOVE YOUR VIDEOS, and I never miss any.
I like to think I am up on technology, but my grandad would be all over this. His father drove mule wagons, and he translated that into a freakishly good front-end business. He did work for Holman Moody, and I can see him saying that he has no clue what the blue/yellow wire does for steering angle, but we need to get the lasers to make sure front end is correct. In the end, I know he would find what was needed to fix the car and take no credit. Nice to see someone working through the steps.
So glad Mrs O has become the most supporting actress!
Your a skilled and "Classy " kind of tradesman. No problem sleeping at night when you know you"ve done it right. So nice to see!

When I started using my mechanic I gave him small but technical jobs to test him that was 2007 I still go there.(he passed my test).He was a one man operation then now he has three on staff & works six days a week & still can't get all his appointments done.
Eric your videos are alway excellent regardless of how dumb you think they might be. I always look forward to your videos. I’ve been a mechanic for over 50 years and I learn something new every time. Thank you for your efforts.
Hey eric, I tell you something I am mechanically inclined and I can pretty much do a lot on the car but the one thing that I do wish is 2 things 1 you were closer to me and too I couldn't know a 3rd of about electronics and a car that you do. I can sit back and watch your download and I'm amazed by the amount of electronic no how and knowledge that you have. Just thank God there's mechanics like you in the world that go that extra mile to fix electronics on a car when other people can't, Matt from Michigan
I sure don't understand why you're not the busiest shop in the region as far as diagnostics go. Why would anyone roll the dice at another shop? If I was in your town, there would be nobody touching my vehicles me you and me! Another great, logical "follow-the-evidence" diagnosis!
I have told all the car nut friends of mine about your channel. Why your subscriber numbers haven't hit a million yet amazes me. You and Diagnostic Dan are the two best diagnosticians on KZread. Thanks for yet another great video Dr. O!
Sure do enjoy watching your videos, Eric. As silly as it might sound, it's honestly more enjoyable and rewarding than anything episodic on a streamer or television. I found your channel when you did brakes on a gen5 Camaro and been following ever since. I would GLADLY pay more money to my local mechanic if I knew his service was as thorough as yours. I'd gladly pay YOU to work on my car if only you were closer..... Thank you for the video.
Really enjoy this kind of video, love the process and the way you present it.
I enjoy your trouble shooting. You common sense and don't overcomplicate it. You use old tech common sense. Not basically so high tech overcomplicate things . Keep it up . Everyone have a great day.
You ability to diagnose problems is admirable. Thank you.
May be the last option, but you are best option that's why you always fix them. Awesome as always.
You are a master at diagnosis. Great job!
@Eric you never seem to let me down with the way I learn how to diagnose things your way. Great job
You always amaze me with your electrical talent. I always enjoy your shows.
Another superb job of diagnosing. Get the print of signal flow and find where things go wrong......track down the point of loss......correct the loss point. You make it look so easy! Another super video!!
Great work Mr O. I thoroughly enjoy your channel.
Eric, you are absolutely a very knowledgeable mechanic. I remember in one of your earlier videos you mentioned that you were a little weak in electronics. I'm paraphrasing here. I only see strengths in your troubleshooting skills. You are thorough and explain your approach adding why you proceeded in the direction you took. Great job bro.
Honda, GM, Ford, Toyota, Nissan, Dodge should be paying you millions and apply these videos to their technicians
you got to be the best diag mechanic ive ever seen. as a thech myself i watch you every video and learn keep up the good work man
These are my favorite videos where you do the electronics diagnoses.
On today's episode of last chance garage... 😅 Great job as usual Eric. Very easy to follow and comprehensive diagnostics. You rock!
Love the videos sir! Expertise and professionalism exemplified.
Thanks Eric for another great video. I especially like the recap of your diagnostic process using the wiring diagram.
People like you are just getting harder and harder to find. Wicked smart and honest.

Another riveting episode that included an old motor going by that you would not want to step in the exhaust. You have a nose for leaky electrons Mr O. It is a pleasure to watch you operate.
Fabulous diagnostic techniques, always.
Very cool Eric! I love your demo with the oscilloscope, along with discussion of the source/manufacturer of the ECM and its history. Also the clear explanations you give of each step in the troubleshooting process makes it really engaging and more dramatic than it has any right to be. I imagine if you brought in a sponsor or two you could justify spending even more time making in-depth content for us!
Wow Amazing diagnosis Eric O! .. Cool scope!

Appreciate you'll humor and skills and thks for helping me build my confidence while I'm watching thks much appreciated
Absolutely enjoy watching your methodical diagnosis and repair. You are a very rare breed these days, keep up the great work! Get a real kick from your sense of humor. 😂
Thank you Eric. At this point when I'm watching your videos, I'm actually starting to keep up and even see where you are going. And that is super rewarding. The thing I've learned is that very often the problem is not the thing at the end of the wire, but somewhere along the wire like a rub spot or a connector. Then it becomes an Ivan no-parts-required repair. I love it. Thanks again!
Eric, you always ask for comments. I love the way you methodically run crap down. You're always concerned for the customer. I have worked on cars for over 60 years but am too old now to get around unde them and on top. I love your videos and the way you solve problems, from the most ccomplex to the easy trak downs. Keep up the great work from an old man in southern Idaho. Oh, and we don't have that much rust here. I've got a 2014 GMC Savannah with 138,000 on it with only minor surface rust on some of the components. I don't know if I could work in the rust belt. Thanks.
THANK YOU FOR SUCH CLEAR INVISTATION OF THE ISSUE, RIGHT ACCURATE AND CORRECT TO THE POINT. POWER TO YOU. YOU IMPRESS ALL OF US.
Sensational job explaining the logic. You make these look so simple after so many gave tried and failed. Keep up the sensational work.
Another fine repair and short hunt good job Eric.
Another great video Mr. O. Impeccable logic path. As the number of vehicle problems you solve keeps growing, looking back at the issue afterward to surmise how you could have gone more directly to the problem shows your interest in understanding the logic involved and sharpens your ability to make the right calls on future work. I worked with engineers who spoke highly of my "genuine" interest in the projects, and w/ no college degree how I could figure out problems using logistic regression. I was always doing exactly what you did in this video when you looked at the schematic and saw how you could have gone more directly to the problem. I received praise from the engineers for my interest and contributions but scourge from my management for "playing." Old & Gray, retired now, I didn't earn much money, but I have the knowledge I earned, they couldn't take that away. Fine Business young man. ben/ michigan
Brilliant work Eric O finding the seed blocking correct contact.
You are excellent. I don't know anybody better than you for electrical
Excellent rundown and troubleshooting! Nice show and tell too where the wire and connector problem was on schematic.
You sir are the GOAT of diagnostics! I have no idea how much a fix like this might cost, but I'm glad I got to watch it to the end. Amazing work!
That was a bloody tricky one to decipher. Well done!
Love the way you logically attack the problem.
Excellent video and diagnostic, as usual!
I really liked the recap at the end!
The most satisfying thing you can experience in your life Eric is solving some ones car problem for them!
Well, this was a nice tongue in cheek thriller diagnosis !!! Following the yellow brick road from the source to the target. And how a dropped "" Medical Cannabis seed "" lookalike in the connector will mess up your day !!!! Sleuth Eric Holmes deduced the cause and applied the cure !!! Now the customer is a happy camper without any costly parts shotgunned. Well done PRNY SMA ASE Super Master mechanic Eric !!! Quality work from a quality garage. And we the people have learned another valuable lesson - have patience, start at the source and troubleshoot to the ending - you WILL achieve a definite result !!!!!! I await the next job to see what it will entail !!!! 😃😸💯👍
I didn't know if I've seen that trick before and wasn't paying attention or you just made it make more sense but anyway using the low current test light to check the signal wire is not short of the ground. That's a time saver there! Thanks Eric O
Outstanding diagnostic skills ❤
