How To Fix A Check Engine Light Joke - Cargasm Ep. 1.5

- In this video I show you a practical solution for diagnosing and fixing your check engine lights on your car. Don't take this video seriously because it was just created to have a little bit of fun. You should always consult your manual and use an engine code reader before blocking or clearing a check engine light or take your car to the dealer if it's something you can't deal with at your own skill level. My check engine light ended up being an emission sensor code which doesn't impact the performance of the car and is easily cleared with my Cobb Accessport tuner dongle.

2005 Subaru WRX STI for being such an awesome car even as much as I abuse her. - Auta a dopravní prostředky
The like bar would be all red if this had been uploaded on any other car channel
True, but this is #Cargasm so it's okay :D
Check engine light is just an indicator that your engine is turned on, lonely and want's you to check it out. eventually, if you checked the engine enough, it will be satisfied and be turned off.
ohhh, lmbo.
This video made me into an expert technician.
is it bad that i knew exactly where u were going with this as soon as the video started @cargasm haha
No, just means you know me well :D
lol yessir. loving the car channel btw keep it up bud
I always check the oil, battery, and coolant to fix my check engine light so I'd assumed the video was making an inside joke about it. So the punch caught me completely off guard. Absolutely loved it!
This solved all my 335i problems thanks!
Just the fact that you got your warm ass out of the house and into the freezing cold for over a good hour to do a quick gag video... I salute you buddy! Ya got balls!
you didnt taste the oil, thats my first step diagnosing a check engine light.
This is going to be one of my favorite channels, I can just tell. xD
I knew when I read the title of the video you would tape that stupid light up real tight. Ladies.
Thanks for this video it really helped me when I put my snow tires on my 2013 Subaru Impreza Sport and I got the low pressure light. With your fix I dont have the pesky light on any more. Thanks for sharing your fix and look forward to more in the future.
You could also remove the dash & actually disconnect the LED that's illuminating it. Where I live it's so hot that if there's tape anywhere in the vehicle, it'll melt & ooze the adhesive goo all over everything.
Videos like this would actually be really helpful. I just finished drivers ed
1st... I know, I know...
did it get an sti?
This video was amazing
Cargasm sweet sti
ha lol
ok this was #awesome lolz
Will this work for my abs light also?
Next Jerry will show you more useful car tips, like how to take your overalls and move them from the washer to the dryer.
+opticburn I wrote this one down!
who cleans their overalls? xD
Oh man OpticBurn laying down some burns over here...
thank for the useful video Jerry
Oh dude, you must have been the mechanic that worked on my first car. Loved that Fiero, interestingly enough, never had any problems with it. Electrical tape over the check engine light was a permanent fix.
thanks for a great video
THANKS THAT HELPED ME SO MUCH OMG
Were you able to get any OBII data? usually the light can be triggered if a sensor if fallout outside of a specific voltage range, but is otherwise functional. Other times, if it uses an O2 sensor that has a built in heating coil, and the coil fails, you will also get the light while the engine will seemingly run fine.
Great channel!!! Keep em coming!!!👍👍👍
Checks oil, yeah everything seems to be ok
Love that "Out of Sight Out of Mind"
As soon as I saw the electrical tape I knew what you were going to do. Good one Jerry. I've seen engine light removal done as removing the actual light bulb from the gauge cluster. Found this out replacing blown light bulbs in the cluster.
Hey Jerry,
What radar detector do you run? I just got my first one today and I'm hoping it does its job.
Does it have to be black tape?
Awesome video Jerry! loving cargasm so far
awesome!!!
as soon as he got the tape out I knew exactly what was going to happen lol
Love this type of content!! Just found my favourite channel!
Ep. 3: How to fix your engine
Lol, kidding around here.
Thanks for this guide but i have tryed to fix my car and it sounds and feels just as bad before i think i need some more tutorials. thanks !! 👍
didn't see that fix comming, epic! haha you got so much creative humor. btw, very well filmed and edited. keep it up!
First you got me, I was waiting for you to say which scanner you use. Disconnect the negative battery cable step on the break then reconnect the battery cable. Works for any car. Keep up good work Jerry loved it.
This also works on VW's Tried on my 2003 Passat because the code scanner read P000 - "Just Becuase"
LMAO, loved this made my chuckle for the day. Great work!!! :)
Had to watch this again you are awesome Jerry.
Amazing so original
Man I'm loving these videos😂😂
lmao! I was not expecting to laugh out loud. thanks for the videos!
I knew exactly where this was going as soon as I saw the video in my feed ahahaha I love your stuff Jerry keep it up
April 1st already? Where did the time go?
That.....that's hilarious. Thank you for a good laugh and keep up the good work. xD
i love this
Hi jerry! i live in the pacific northwest area and wondering if you would ever do some sort of car/fan gettogether? it would be pretty cool!
Legit made me wake up my fiance I laughed so hard, THANKS JERRY great work on the new channel
loving cargasm so far :)
Well you got me. Thought I might learn something nice video Jerry
This was so awesome
lol
Just a little tip, the check engine light while always be on when you turn on the ignition. The way you know if you actually have a check engine code is if the cruise control is flashing above it.
I literally jinxed that use of electric tape 😂
Is it because you took the abs fuse out
So basically ChrisFix and HpwToBasic combined! To bad you forgot the eggs! :). Nice video!
You're awesome! I laughed so hard :)
Did you try unplugging it, and plugging it back in?
Good as new.
hey, they loose coolant too. should check that also, especially when the head gaskets start to leak.
Simpsons did this already!! Still funny as hell though
+BrianFerriera did they really?
good one Jerry
I was wondering where the "Joke" part was gonna come in. Good one 😂
Great Video, would like to see a follow up at some point with a Bluetooth or wifi obd ii scanner to see what code its spitting out. I think it would combine the car and tech side of things.
LOL. That was good. Your car sounds awesome!
I knew what you were going to do the moment you mentioned electrical tape :) I was like "Wait for, wait for it... a-ha!"
So that was unexpected, nice one!
LOL Awesome! Didn't even realize you started your own car channel.
did you check the oil at normal operating temperature?
No, but then again this is a 'joke' video :D
Ah then is your blinker fluid ;)
The battery is actually good to check. I went over a rail crossing way too fast before and it felt like the car caught air before slamming to the road and shutting off, and after pushing it home I found out it was just the battery had disconnected, lol.
Engine is still there, I don't see the problem!
Seriously though, do you have emission testing there? Their fancy computers see right past that fix, I would know :(
Matt's Garage - TakeiT I think he's up in Snohomish county so he is off the hook but King and Pierce do have emissions tests. I lucked out so hard last time I went for a test, reset computer before driving down, light came on right after I left the testing parking lot. vacuum leak on one of them there tubes was messing with the MAP sensor. fixed now but it was so bad because the car ran so rich.
Snohomish county does have emissions, I had to have my truck tested before I could get the tabs renewed. I live in Snohomish.
Love the intro!
epic fix
Lmao!! Great stuff, had a good laugh over that, I knew what was up as soon as I seen the electrical tape.
Now do a video of how to actually fix it.
Plug in an OBD 2 reader and press 'clear codes' :D
Just about to mention the OBD 2 reader myself to you
Cargasm haha I actually laughed out loud at that
Orjon Zaganjori he just did 😂😂😂
Orjon Zaganjori You buy a miniature computer for $60. Then search for the error code online!!
A true Jerry-rig, nice!!! Like it a lot!
Larry... Larry the cable guy, is that you?
;)
Really Jerry really!!! I almost cried from laughter. Keep it up Bud.
Yeah, baby!
very good video Jerry, you should do some 0-60mph and some exhaust compilations especially with your good equipment, and overall do a personal review on your sti :)
Jerry I love you you made me laugh so hard even though I've seen it coming with electrical tape keep up with the great videos
lol I had a feeling. We use the same method on our freight liners
ITS MY BIRTHDAY!!
I knew it!! Jerry wasn't smart enough!! But he's smart enough to make me laugh😂
So good xD love it
Feeling the Subaru love, eh? Yeah Subaru is generally good for you. : )
Though in a turbocharged Subaru I personally always check the coolant level when under the hood. I was looking into the Cobb access port, any possibility of a video on it?
TOP TIP
You can do the same fix for a 'Needs Service' light!
This would work for any car!
As soon as he pull out the electrical tape in the car I knew he was going to chuck a Homer Simpson and put tape on the check engine light lol
what caused the check engine light?!
Have you considered tightening the gas cap?
Lol, used that fix on a pesky airbag light on a couple of cars I've had. Works great :)
My check engine light just popped on and after using a scanner found it to be the vapor canister. Well good thing my area doesnt do smog checks so the tape fix is perfect.
I had a good laugh thanks
THAT FIX THO. XD Thats amazing
I've had an '03 legacy for almost 3 years now and have never seen a check engine light or had any problems (except for a brake line blowing while on vacation) Its my first car and I paid I Subaru are bullet proof that's no joke. The clutches... 140,000 and still good
Just seen this exact video on Facebook and it was uploaded on Friday 🤔🤔
a good rule of thumb as to if you should drive a car or not when the engine management is illuminated is that if it's flashing you should have it recovered/don't drive it.
if it's just constant still have it repaired but it's usually something that won't cause more engine damage.
top bodge tho with the tape haha. ... working in the motor trade myself I may or may not have witnessed people removing their bulb for the check engine/eml light
i new that would be your way. funny video'
Jerry, you are killing me.
The dealership told me the check engine light being on is a standard feature for mitsubishi lol
Now that is a car fix I could do.
I knew you are going to do this. LOL
