Ha our Sunday morning coffee and automotive tutorial from Steve. Do like the test lead mate. Bet I'm not the only one who says this and then they will probably ask for a schematic on how it was made. And if you need an idea for another video can you do one on a wideband o2 sensor using Forscan. (assuming ford use them) They always confuse people when they go faulty.
All I did was cut the sensor part off an old like for like sensor, I soldered a small bulb to the 12v supply and heater control wires (pins 1&2) and then tapped a bna plug into each of these to use on a scope to view signal and supply. Ill look into doing a wideband but they are difficult to measure as they are measure in Milliamps. There are data values we can use when using forscan on the 1.0 wideband sensor
Another excellent video. Had to do the same job on the wife's mk 7 Fiesta when it was 8 years old. Very disappointing that this new Fiesta needed a new sensor with just over 1000 miles on the speedometer. I have had 4 Mondeos and the wife 3 Fiestas, but next car will probably be a Skoda, the best of the VW group. Keep the videos coming, it always a pleasure to see a true professional at work.
Great video as always also excellent idea about test light got one made for other makes oxygen sensors just need make one for fords also add wire for a scope Thank you for the video and take care
Nice video bud. I've done the same with the light. It makes it so much easier to test with how buried the wiring connectors are doesn't it. I like the extra connector to scope the signal. Good job 👌
Great video Steve , so many in our trade are guessers as you say , great testing lead , deffo one for the special drawer department, enjoy your week off 👍👍
As The Retired Mechanic says, Sunday morning viewing 🙂and I really like you the bulb 💡 by pass test. I will have to make myself one of them. Thanks for sharing 🙏👍
I use the fluke 179 but only because I was given it by a subscriber. Fluke do automotive multimeters too. I also use the UNI-T meters if you watch some older videos
If you can confirm the wiring is ok and there is still no control to the heater, then often a software update can fix it. But it's likely that the ecu could have failed
@@SYDiagnostics Thank you for your reply. I have cleared the fault code and the engine management light comes on after driving for 20/ 25 minutes when engine is up to normal temperature. The obd reader shows fault in permanent codes . I have driven car for almost 400 miles. Thank you.
Hello greetings very interesting channel. I was watching one of your video about coding injectors. My question is about ford transit connect 1.8 TDCi 2006. I SWAP just engine from 2007 connect. Engine is running good but it's having exhaust emissions above the norm. Should I do injectors coding or I should swap injection pump. Kindly regards Lukas
If the injector codes do not match what the ecu thinks they are, then yes I'd code them in as a first start. But doubt it would effect your emmisions to much extent
@@SYDiagnostics Hi thank you very much for answer. I will try first to code. Good luck with channel and I will keep on looking at your new videos, because you are great mechanic and teacher. 👍🏼😃
Good morning, I have this fault come up on my Ford fiesta eco boost 1 litre. I was wondering whether this would be covered under my warranty? Thanks in advance
In the UK the warranty is 60k/3yrs so if its proven to be at fault then I can't see why it wouldn't be covered. But I'd check with your local dealer to clarify, If I was you.
I’ve got fault code P0420 and changed this sensor in your video as euro car parts only had that sensor.. so would it be the other sensor and where would I get it from, my mk8 1.0 only has 25k on clock and it get driven a lot and long mileage…
p0420 is catalyst efficiency so is a different concern, basically the rar 02 sensor is reporting that the catalytic converter isn't efficient and you'd need to assess why. It could be a running condition (rich/lean) and failed cat, a mis reporting o2 sensor. It's not as easy as plugging in a code reader and replacing parts baed on a code. The cataytic converters do fail on these, but they do also run rich due to leaking injectors, leaking fuel pumps (oil dillution) and stuck tank vent valves. They also have lean issues with split pipes. Any other codes stored?
@@SYDiagnostics I put some cat cleaner in it this morning no juddering, no loss of power it’s running more better.. Also I have Sync 3 and screen is set to Auto Day and Night but it’s always stuck on night do you know how to fix that
yes,the light bulb acts as a load for the ecu to control ,so can see what is happening ,very simple and very clever test,scope test point too,have made them myself on volvo and vauxhall,bmw ,long as you know the res,ohms of a good device,then can swop out with a bulb of simular res,ohms ,then can test the ecu control as he showed ,switched earth,as other side of load is ign live ,fused ,control is switched earth ,works well ,then if ecu pass test ,you know the heater or device is faulty,not a guess but proven ,i always strip dead carparts on the bench to see why it died,drives the boss nuts ,but its how i learn ,and got test bench set up for test stuff,power up parts and see how they work ,how to control,switch ,helps alot on dianostics too

AWESOME DIAGNOSSES i do the same thing with light to check the control side thanks for sharing.
Great diagnostic method well explained and we'll put together. keep theses videos coming they are a credit to you .
Thanks for your support

Love that test lead idea, definitely going to make one of those.
Great video as always also excellent idea about test light got one made for other makes oxygen sensors just need make one for fords also add wire for a scope
Thank you for the video and take care
great work, keep it up! love the videos. Customer pays for a diagnosis, not an educated guess.
spot on as always, im loving the amount of videos you are outputting
i've nothing left now to output lol, and im off this week too
Excellent process and teat lead idea!!!!
Nice video bud. I've done the same with the light. It makes it so much easier to test with how buried the wiring connectors are doesn't it. I like the extra connector to scope the signal. Good job 👌
cheers Dan, the scope connector was an after thought, I've since added another to test the live feed and the command

Great test nice one
Thank you! Cheers!
Good video. Thanks
Glad you liked it!
Good video. 👍
Nice work buddy. 👍🏻
Great video.
Nice
Great 👍
Hi man. very good video. I have one question. which Fluke model multimeter, are you using?I am looking to buy one,which one you recommend me?
I use the fluke 179 but only because I was given it by a subscriber. Fluke do automotive multimeters too. I also use the UNI-T meters if you watch some older videos
Excellent video. I have a fault p0036 o2 sensor bank 2 Ford focus 1.0 ecoboost 2916. Replaced the sensor still got the fault. Any suggestion please.

Hi, where's the best place to get this part from amd the part number?Thanks.
I'd recommend a genuine dealer supplied part
Hi got the part thanks, my dad is fitting it just now.
Do I need to disconnect the battery when unplugging the sensor and fitting the new one? Thank you
No you'll be OK. Just turn ignition off
@@SYDiagnostics thank you for your reply, really appreciate it. Brilliant videos keep it up 👍
Can you show how you make it please

@@SYDiagnostics no only that code, I did a Live Data on Bank 1, Sensor 2 and the line is flat
@@SYDiagnostics I put some cat cleaner in it this morning no juddering, no loss of power it’s running more better.. Also I have Sync 3 and screen is set to Auto Day and Night but it’s always stuck on night do you know how to fix that
Is it possible to test the Sensor itself? Getting error codes but not heat related on the sensor
What codes?
What codes?
Anyone know where I can buy the new sensor?
Ford dealer. Not that expensive
Hi. This test also work corsa ? Or Astra thanks
Yes it's pretty universal
